Iv been looking for a cheap ish car to use everyday to and from work and about 1 or 2 track days a year. have been keeping my eyes open for an XR2 turbo but am always to slow on e bay.
a Series 2 cabby with RST engine and gearbox has come up where I live its very clean with nice strong engine.
I can get over the wind noises in the winter form a cabby roof and as the summers are not that great I cant see the roof being put down to much.
question is what would one be like on a track. its poly bushed and coilovers on front?

 

not great i wouldnt think mate, not to mention fuckin unsafe!!

 

i drove one for the first time a few weeks ago, it was terrible, certianly something i didn't feel safe driving let alone on track!

 

In all fairness I would imagine an RST'd cabby to be pretty terrible on track due to the flex in the chassis. If you park them with a wheel on the kerb you can't open the doors.

 

RST cab.... as a Trackcar???

This is more suitable!!!!

 

Worse than that, if you jack them up with the doors open they fold in half!

 

To be honest a tin top RST is far from great as track cars go but I've made my choice and like the car so won't be changing it.

 

Ok if i get it I will just keep it on the road and find something else to play with on a track lol

 

fpmsl

 

I had one 10 years ago and it was lovely. Handled great on the road too and better than a mate's 4x4 saf cossy at the time too.

Never took it on track tho but does the M4 and M40 count

 

yes it does!
