Probably been asked a million or more times,but

I'm on the hunt for a saff, its gonna be used everyday ( about 8k miles a year ) but cant decide 2 or 4wd. Whats the major differences in terms of driveabilty?

Ta

ps i'm already with the RAC

 

Yes this old chestnut

2wd for doing doughnuts and giving it the bollox at cruises

4x4 for launching and good grip on the track n twisty bits

4X4 downside its expensive for big horsie power when its comes to the drive train, standard gearboxes are not all that tuff,

My dad has stage 3 4x4 and its safer for the less experianced driver and launches even in the damp but i have 400 bhp 2wd drive and thrive of the rush that it could kill me at any time. 2wds rule.

 

Depends if you trust yourself or not

 

IMO if not going no more than stage one and is going to be used daily,I would have a 4x4

 

Not really. I was a bit of a hooligan in my old focus.

 

It will end in tears then

4X4 for you my friend

 

I'm asking myself the same question 2 or 4WD ??? Building a project car, has a 4x4 floor pan fitted, options are 16v or 24v Cosworth power, 2wd or 4wd.

 

I've got my eye on a stage 3 4x4. If I go Closed loop that should see reasonable ( for a cos ) fuel economy until i'm feeling frisky?

 

2wd = men

4wd = gay pussies

 

I love my 2WD, just got to be sensible with it when you get on the power etc!

 

meow .










maybe.......

 

Your a fucker arnt ya!

Glad i've got 2wd then!

 

tis true tho

 

Damn right mate, I had a S13 200sx Turbo at 19 4 years ago, should have stayed 2wd since then! Forgot how much I missed it!

 

If I went 2wd I'll only end up wanting a 3 door and I cant afford one

 

Dan - this was my first rwd - was fucking funny when i got it and the back would let go driving thru traffic - the look on mface and my mate face was fucking priceless as was the guys face in the car next to us .

Davey_C - get a 2wd saff mate - best fun you will have mate

I just love snaking the car down the road

 

2wd- 4wd-

 

had both and love 4x4...got both at the mo.....and still love 4x4

 

 

put it this way

the MISSUS as a4x4
and i have a 2wd




plus the 2wd is easier to work on

 

That may have sold it to me!!

 

peeps always think you can not have fun in a 4wd
as i think you can, if you have the bollocks to drive it

and if you want to race, and its wet you can do so

 

They are muchos fun! Had mine out in the piss wet this weekend, was interesting to say the least!

Davey, Go 2wd mate, we're all grown ups, you can handle it, they really arnt as lairy as people make out, you'll never look back mate!

PROPER Sports cars are 2wd!

 

ive had 4wd cars before and my saff is my first rwd and im alot more impressed with 2wd power

 

The only thing that steered me toward a 4x4 was a mates 2wd saff, bastard thing wont go in a straight line!!

Could have been the falken tyres and the coilovers not being set up though

 

i hope the rear tyres were smoking away

 

My mum drives a 4x4!!!

 

i hope the rear tyres were smoking away

 

dont mince your words then!

talking of mince - 4x4

 

Didnt notice, I was too busy trying to keep the bastard thing on the road!!
They got replaced after 400 miles though!

 

After going out in JB's RWD tonight its RWD all the way for me thats where the fun is at

 

for a fun toy deffo 2wd


all these people who claim you need to be on your toes ect is tbh all bollox

most of the cossies have fucked bushes HENCE they do get livley,,,, get a stage 3 t34 cossie,,,,, any less and you may aswell have a 220 fiesta turbo tbh for more fun

i would PERSONALLY never own a cossie LESS that stage 3 t34,,,,,


dont listen to all the people who say 2wd will kill you,,,,,, i went from a 1300 escort with a erst body kit to my saph and i had 3 times when i was close to loosing it and it was ALL driver error rather than the car catching me out,,,, all of it was also based on shite road conditions


i NEVER crashed my car nor did i actually get close to it

get a 2wd and book a day at bedford to learn the car and you wont have a issue with it imo


people only loose it in 2wd's when they show off to others that they are better than senna,,,,,, then they run out of skill and prang it claiming the curse of the 2wd


lots of 4wd cossies crash too,,,,,, ask dave4x4cos what happened to his escort or cossiecrew and his 4wd saph


get 2wd and enjoy working on a car thats easier to do ANYTHING than even working on a erst

PS: im a shite driver and i never wrote my one off,,,, and seriously i am

 

Ran we all know you are the biggest lord i've never seen you with a bird


And you know my car was ripping them roundabouts last time we was out after middx rsoc meet

4x4 is king

2wd is for boy racer show offs
