Can you bring me back my Quaife LSD in your hand luggage

He has his rear fog lights on and there is no fog and he’s drifting on bald tyres. He must be a New Zealander. Love the M5 drift, they just do it so easy!

That what I was aiming for. Has anyone actually been there?? It’s something I hope to do one day. Im still thrashing it on GT4, must have time trailed 200 cars! That must make me a virtual ringmaster. Can’t wait for GT5 full version, they have made it that much better again apparently. Commentary is legendary, reminds me of Cheach and Chong. First gear......second gear....third gear!

Works well on white cotton, not so well on other applications.

E46 M3 chasing some hot hatches..and a GT3-RS. Shame he passed the Megane driver under caution, would have been nice to see if he could have got passed any other way. The M3 sounds so good on lift!

Oh yea, the bonnet is cool, the yellow stain of a car, not so much. Why do the Auto’s have a bonnet like that?

Ahhhhhh get rid of that 90’s abomination of a tuned car!!! :gay: What the Fark!!!! Thanks for clearing that up Heath!

[email protected] Can do both the shirt and the printing. Style of shirt and what’s required on them and I’ll get back to you with some options…

Hey, he got our attention didn’t he Win.

Ya, LHD and side markers...

RE: Repco. All seats are different though, how can they make one fits all? The owner’s manual for the last few cars I have had have recommended against fitting seat covers. I would rather slightly worn seats than a slightly worn body

x2 have a 80gb Classic and its great, dont have to keep clearing stuff out to make room.

You can’t use them if your seat has airbags and they look horrible. Maybe custom made or from BMW.

I-Pod. Mac just make things easy. As Heath said, accessories can be expensive. If it’s for use in the car why not just burn off a few MP3 disks.

I personally don’t like AWD and the Fords FWD hub and drive geometry coupled with a nice Quaife deferential cuts out the traditional torque steer and wheel spin that accompanied powerful FWD of the past. Ford claim they have come up with something here but all they have really done is copy the Renault Megane as best as possible without breaking copy write infringements.. some info on the Revo Knuckle. Works for Renault. Ford RS's "REVO Knuckle" . ________________________________________ This is the real deal finally a solution to Torque steer. And a ford patent. "The new Ford Focus RS is equipped with an innovative front suspension system known as a ‘RevoKnuckle’, which is designed to reduce unwanted steering disturbance and torque steer, the impact of torque on steering in front-wheel driven vehicles. Torque steer occurs during hard acceleration, cornering or driving on uneven surfaces, when torque on the driven wheels exceeds grips levels. It is characterised by sudden turning force on the steering wheel and can be exacerbated by vehicles with wide tyres and limited-slip differentials. In Focus RS, the RevoKnuckle works in conjunction with a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing limited-slip differential. Ford Team RS engineers have worked closely with Ford's Advanced Research Centre in Aachen, Germany to develop the RevoKnuckle technology specifically for the high performance Focus RS. It allows the simplicity of a traditional McPherson strut arrangement, but with geometry settings that minimize steering disturbances and torque steer, principally a reduction in steering offset." If they built it from the ground up with an unlimited budget like they did with the Escort Cosworth it could have worked, problem is the Focus RS already weighs the same as the Escort Cosworth and it is much bigger, safer and stiffer so add AWD and you’d have a 1,600kg+ car. Bring back Homologation rules I say, imagine what that would spawn in today’s standard of automobile.

Looks good. Like these wheels a lot.

Lush. I remember an old guy on our street had one brand spankers when I was growing up…cost him over 300k! They look good on stock wheels, but some full face Merc wheels in say 18" would look good.

Wish you hadn’t shown me that website… goes back to EVO.

Would still need more, a late model 180kw SR20DET would be perfect power and wouldnt sound and run like an ol car.

I can see what you mean and I thought the same when this car was in its early developments but I have grown to realise the STI and EVO like me have over the years got fat and boring, their electronic wizardry and excess weight have taken the rawness away, they have lost their mongrel and mojo. Think Megane R26.R and you understand where Ford are at with this car, they didn’t want to build an electronically aided heavy beast, they wanted to build a hooligan track/backroad weapon that its customers will thoroughly enjoy as is out of the box. The R26 rates as a better drive than both the Mitsubishi and Subaru and out sells them in Europe (where the RS will be sold) big time.

Love the seats in that Alpina. So 80's retro cool.

Is there something wrong with it?? Seems everyone loves it but it’s always for sale. They were rated very high in the handling department back in the day, I remember drooling over them in the 90’s… But cars have come a long way, these things were up against VR commodores and the like in the 90’s, can see why they ratted them

That it does, id have a white one. You could order a Focus RS if you were keen, JAF on the shore will get you one. You’d be looking at around the 60k mark though. The Clio is available for $39,995, they are currently running out the last of the pre facelift cars at $35,995.

Now that would be fun!! Look at those wheels

Love this car. Shows what a FWD can do with a good LSD and a properly sorted chassis. Guess what was chasing it…
