Had the accessors round just waitin for a settlement whats next should i go 2wd again 4x4 or build another FASTER S2 ???????

 

NOT another beantin, 4x4 is ghey and it jus means more money needed spending on transmission, so RWD

 

I would say it all dpends on what u want out the car.
IMO i would go for a 2wd cos mthey are more fun and can take more power than a 4x4.

 

4x4 for me Tim, but I've never had a rwd car

 

2wd timbo!

otherwise there was no real reason in u sellin the old s2!

 

Is your skyline 2wd then Steve

 

 

is it not both ?? 2 wd or 4wd ???


DAN

 

well they start out 2wd & when traction is lost they bring the fornt wheels in! therte is even a lil gauge for this well there was in Jase's r33!

 

2wd .............

AL...

 

Ive just bought another 2 wheeler, so 2wd mate

 

Spadge- Only reason i got a GTR is they NOT permanent 4wd. They RWD till it decides it needs some power to the front, and even then its VERY rear biast (hence the amount of people buying them after "normal" 4x4s like Scoobys then a week later going broadside into the nearest lamppost ).

And its a 2min job to fit a switch to make it 100% RWD 100% of the time, and thats a 2min job ive done

 

And yus, got a fancy gauge on the dash that shows the current torque split percentage, which is quite

 

if it's 100% of the time, why does it need to be on a switch?

didn't think of that one did you?

 

If you want to share the car with Chez then go for a 4x4. If it's for you ONLY (And I mean this!!!) then go 2wd.

Going back to a ERST will only bring back the very reasons you sold the last car, so I'd stay clear.

See you soon Tim.

 

i can will and shall kick you teeth out if you even contemplate another s2 laddo

keep to rwd just fit it with a straight jacket for chez to stop her meddling

if you go for a 4*4 mate you'll need a good 450 to get kicked up the ass like mine does and thats mega money

if you come out of this well then get a 3 door you know it makes sense rodders

 

If its got 4 drive shafts its 4 wheel drive
Guess that makes you gay then Steve

 

does it have to be a saph tim?

how about a nice 3 door?

or an esc

 

2wd mate is the way to go!!!!!!


simon

 

WTF you on about?

The SWITCH makes it 100% of the time, ie the switch disables the electronic centre diff so it NEVER puts power to the front diff, no matter how little traction the rears have...
That will only be used for burnouts and acting like a drifty nutter, all other times it can stay automatic as the transmission losses are low in normal operation as its 100% RWD until it loses traction, like said before, and nobody cares bout tranny losses ones u got no traction, its the traction thats important, and it automaticly can go to 50-50 4WD and anywhere in between, depending on what it needs to grip.

Permanent 4wd is ghey (cause i dont like the big transmission losses), not nececerily the owners, lol

 

Own a 2wd and a 4wd saff, both running big power. the two of them are goooood fun but the 2wd was much cheeper to get the same grin factor. The 4x4 is untouchable on B roads though and looks good with the 4 wheels spinning up in tight corners. Just bought a focus but could not bring myself to sell either of the cossies so really cant help you out. Think you should stick with cossie power either way though and "dont" be tempted back to CVH.

Best of luck

 

So steve ,4x4 is g@y lol so how comes matt aint got 1 fpmsl ,
dunno what to expect from the ins company never had a car wrote off before hope its the last i love taxis and this 1 was mint so im gonna get another 1 3 dr is tempting but 2 pricey thanks all, chez is now well n truely BANNED FROM ANY MORE MY CARS SHE CAN FECK OFF BIG TIME ups hope she dont tead this

 

2wd is fun but you have to let Chez drive just to get her confidence back....

 

hey guys,

you are always talking sh#t about 4wd. always saying...2wd is cheaper and bla bla bla. but when is a cossie going to be cheap....NEVER. it all depends on what you want to do with your car. and PLEASE don't say 4wd is gay. you al remember martin's car.....it's 4wd. there wasn't a car which was faster to 60, 100 and top speed. it goes round corners like nothing on earth. you can't beat that with a 2wd.

so guys keep the respect to each other because al the cossies have a different goal they are made for. but one thing they have in common.....and that's going fooking fast with a lot off FUN.

best regards,

 

Very well put

 

4X4 Tim imo. I dont see the point to all this bull shit ' arse end out action' people talk about...load of crap.....imo thats just an excuse to own a less inferior car because at the end of the day they A: either cant afford to buy a 4X4 or B:can buy one but cant afford to mod one. IMO having 4 wheels coming out of corners and off roundabouts is fookin awesome....coming off a roundabout at 80 plus in third and it just fooking sticking there is more of a buzz than having to let off the throttle cos the arse end is coming out...WTF is that good for????


Whatever u get make sure its what YOU want not everyone else.

 

what happened to the s2???? where did I miss that bit


4x4 I reckon A to B point and squirt fast as you like.... only limitation is budget.
agree with the last couple of posts above this.

and 4x4s go sideways if you want sideways.

 

Yeah its more fun with a big bhp 4wd than 2wd.Its awesome getting catapulted out of rounderbouts.

 

Too right. Shame my escos was only a puny 330 lol.

 

I would go for rwd if your the only one thats gonna drive it.

Or if the Mrs is gonna drive it go 4x4,would you realy want to be worrying about her everytime she went out?

What you realy want is a nice moonstone 3dr

 

4x4 and RWD are both completely different animals, so you gotta weigh up what you want. Normally I would tell you to go RWD all the time, but if you are taking mrs and Kids around in it, then a 4x4 would probably be the safer bet, as you dont have to be on the ball 101% of the time, and you will be less worried about your Mrs if she has to borrow the car at any point

 

If Martins car was converted to RWD with decent size rear tyre (10" rear wheels etc) then it would be faster round a track and faster top speed FACT.
0-60 & 100 I'll give ya because it's all over in the first 60ft.

All this bollox about 4wd being better handling makes me laugh!!

Why?? The have the same about of mechanical grip from the 4 tyres as a 4x4 car except they will arrive at the corner slower and understeer right round it

Ok, so they will drive out of the slower corners better but thats poor compensation in my eyes.

ROFLMFAO............ What a cock
You drive a Sierra mate, as do I, superior my ass

I've driven pretty much every 4x4 performance car of the last 20 year inc saphs, intergrales, early Evos, GTiRs & Scoobs etc
Not one off them compare to a well set up RWD car in the dry IMO.

(and btw less inferior means better )

LOL........let off?? Pussy

Can you guess which option I voted for

 

2WD SAFF on its way well allmost ,just have toput my bits on it next

 

good choice tim , you know the mistake i made buying the 4x4

 

So what your saying is for approx 60 days of the year in this country your car is quicker and the other 305 a 4x4 will spank you

 

PMSL @ Spadge. Gurn i aint a cock and i dont drive a sierra I drive a escort TD van. Where the fook dya get the sierra from

 

2wd timbo and let chez drive but have some sort of boost control for her
Or completely fookin ban her like i have my miss's...lol...even took her name off the insurance!

 

ive had both 4x4 is deffo quicker but its what U prefer m8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! end of

 

I assumed that was your escos in your sig and we all know an escos is just a sierra in a party dress

Unlikely Spadge as mine only comes out on sunny days being a weekend toy and that

 

RWD is the NUTS. I can say that now after going to it

Yeah, Ive heard you're a 2 minute man
