Two Mondeo's Rapid Fit to my mate here in swiss.

Tell me if the link does not work please...

 

I loved that era of the BTCC and the street race that they had in Birmingham city center, also loved playing the early TOCA Games on Play station

 

Good thread.

Funny that a tiga was mentioned as a car I've read a bit about recently ran the rear suspension out of one !





Quite a mad setup to put in the back of a Peugeot !

 

Touring cars in the 90s was bloody ace. It's a shadow of its former self these days

 

I wish you'd stop commenting on Touring Car threads, you clearly know Jack shit about them!

 

Never really liked them at the time, but they have a properly cool old school appeal to them now

 

That's awesome! What's he doing with it?

 

That's quite smart. I'm sure the car owned by someone I know was also a Rapid Fit one, he sold it a while back so maybe it's one of the 2 your friend owns ?

 

this was THE PROPPER touring car days, no ifs or buts for me

anyoneone rememebr watching the top gear when they tested standard cars of the BTCC racers?
"theres a toyota carina out there thats faster in a straight line than an exorcet missile.........ive been knobbled i tell you"

Needles got nobbled PMSL!

 

Wasn't as good as the late 80's, but still good!
I remember the in-car, with helmet miles, when Mansell ploughed it into the bridge at Donnington... Bit shocking, seeing it live, hearing him just before the impact!

 

Poor things, they took a proper beating

Gutted I wasn't old enough to appreciate it at the time!

 

what this one, or maybe not

Racing was racing, Cleland was daddy in his camels ear IMO,

i was Vauxhall through and through

 

Very cool. Tony at touring car spares has a brand new original prodrive mk2 front bumper and splitter for sale, will only sell to an owner of a prodrive car, which is unfortunate, because I'd love it for my car

I knew it was a few years ago I started this thread, didn't think it was knocking 6 years though, just makes the cars even cooler, because there twice as old now

 

I machined up the oil pumps for the prodrive cars , good piece of kit , they had a few different type some had deairaters at the rear some had filter housings at the rear and some had plain stages at the rear, Taylors Motorsport have or had a prodrive rapid fit car for sale and my mate has brought one of the rapid fit cars shells ( to put a. Yb in it) and he all so got a bare shell ( Motorsport aswel so I'm told ) no cage or nothing all ready to be prepped into a touring car

 

There was one of the prodrive rapid fit cars for sale a year or two back, was pretty much all there, and wasn't to expensive either iirc, well, compared to what they cost to build new anyway

 

Iirc the one I knew of was up for sale for less than 20k, that was a complete working car as well !
