Yeh and you get some people that just cant drive them. Speaking to some one yesterday said he is building a rwd astra with aload of power but cant drive rwd cars. Says he has nearly crashed so many.. :roll:

 

Bigest character of a OSF is the RWD IMO :ykt: Along with loads of other things 8)

At the end of the day there are people on this site who can't get there car sideways due to lack of ability, there are some who can't get it sideways due to lack of power and there are some who don't get it sideways just because they are law abiding citizens who aren't holigans.

 

So if your not going to be getting it sideways at every bend then what does it matter if they are front or RWD ??

 

Personally, I am a holigan and am coverting front to RWD :mrgreen:

It's not my cup of tea either but I can understand why some people choose the FWD option.

When we brought Mrs Nettles 100e we did look at the FWD option for her project because she was intending to use the car as her daily drive I had to make sure that it was reliable and safe for her to use.

She hadn’t had much experience with RWD so FWD seemed to be the best bet.

One of the best points from the FWD conversion was that I could then run the exhaust system though the old prop-shaft tunnel and slam the fook out of the ride height.

 

However in the end I managed to get hold of a very cheap 2.0L DOHC lump from a late Sierra that she decided she wanted but we sold the car on before the work started. :sad:

What is the point of this post????? :banghead:

 

People build cars how they want them, Dont they?????

 

The point of this thread is to discuss the pro's and con's of such a conversion, just as many similar threads on here do.

This car cought my attention simply because I am aware of quite a few 100E's which have been converted to FWD. I just wondered what the merits of such a conversion may be. It seems that no other RWD fords get converted from RWD to FWD. Just something to discuss in a constructive manner, nothing more.

 

And yes people do build their cars how thay want them which is why the world of OSFs is so diverse. A good thing I think. :thumbsup:

Not for me,..... why build it like that .... well why not ??? when we start a build we know what we want it to be like when its done & other than the track being to wide for the body it turned out well :roll: it works in a small engine bay, but with 90% of the engine & box in front of the axle its not a good move (i know thats how it was in the first place) as said put another one in the back :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: ..... Go on Glen you know you want to, 2x2 cortina lol & you cant win if you cut the bulkhead to set the engine back everyone wants to know why you cut it !!!!

It needs a Turbo CVH.

 

And another in the back too. Easy 400bhp.

 

Im in the hooligan party, i do miss the skids but i like the predictability of the FWD. Perfect answer is one of each, or better still, two engines, you can have it anyway you want then :)
