2WD or 4WD gents and ladies?
I will be using it about 3times a week max. not too longer journey
but obviously ill wait for it to warm up to running temp first ect ect. so 2WD or 4WD cheers.

 

well i use my 2wd every day and i love it mate.

its what you want and how you drive it that makes the difference

 

It has to be 2WD. mutch more fun.

 

Its comin up to winter mate.....................4x4.....unless you wanna risk bending it

 

ive had my 2wd for two winters and havent bent it

 

I had a race the other day with a porsche in 4x4 i managed to keep up with him in the corners and stuff
but if i was in the RS500 (which is quicker) i would not have had the ball to drive how i drove 4x4 that for me i even think i will convert the RS500

 

Hi guys thanks for all the help have decided on 2WD and tips/things to look out for?
Cheers

 

2wd is definately the way to go. bought mine 7 months ago, love every minute.
On buying one, the first thing is to make sure its a real un, so check the log book, vin plate etc,
Try to spend as much as possible on the car, you will get what you pay for. however dont expect not to have to shell out for something in the first six months.
Service history is everything, if it hasn't got it , leave it alone.
check the headgasket, these are well known to go. If it has then there will be to obvious signs like mayonnaise in oil filler cqap, but also on the exhaust side of block there are often signs of leeks
The gearbox has a weak point in the syncro from 3rd to 4th gear

I found that both Fast Ford mag and Performance Ford mag have done buying guides in the past and these are availiable on back order. worth the few quid if you are looking a cossies.
Also the RSOC is very helpful, get along to your local group etc

cheeRS
