All I kept saying

Its fucking nuts

 

the good old metro.doesnt that have a v6. wich car is that from. they sound sooooo good.

 

Lucky boy

cool retro rally car shame it was'nt a 200

Paul

 

the V6 was a Rover V8 chopped down i think i could be wrong

Paul

 

iirc ita a jag engine

the sound is awesome

 

6r4's are awesome

 

Looks some machine. Lovely car so they are

You sure its not a DAM4100 Rather than a 6r4

 

i know a bloke who has one he will be racing it in the northern saloons im at croft with him and some mates next month as pit crew

 

yeah you could be right

 

I always thought 6R4's arches were alot more square than that?

Please don't think I'm picking faults ect as it's an awesome car

 

i was wondering about the arches the one i know of is a square looking one

 

love them to bits
my dads mate rallys one but ive never been fortunate enough to go out it in
his last rebuild cost over 25k

 

might get flamed for this but my god it looks awful!! Every time I look at it I think its like a saxo with an owner who has shares in ripspeed and halfords (the outside that is)

 

that has the DAM kit on it, David Applebys development of the 6R4, i think that kit ruins the metro, but is till an awesome machine underneath, even if its + 20 years old

 

edit- markk says it above

 

that is the wworst looking 6r4 ive ever seen........ i love 6r4`s but that just aint doing anything for me.

 

this is the one my mate owns

Lights look too modern for a 6R4.

Still an awesome car

 

6r4 were on the old shape?mini metro! thats the rover metro

 

A DAM4100 basically has all the old magic ingrediants as the normal 6r4, but with a more modern shape.

Too slow at posting Lol

 

did they not only make the 6r4 in the old shape metro ,
didnt know any where made in the rover metro shape ??
could be wrong
nice car , but i think a different colour would make it look better

 

Looks fucking hideous

Prefer the boxy 80's looks of the 6R4 rather than that monstrosity!

Bet it goes some tho

 

you may shoot me down in flames but didnt the 6R4 have a Jag xj220 engine in it without turbos/superchargers? Im probably wrong though

 

Love it! I delivered a car to Southwood today and wound up buying the minty minter he's had from new in his garage, about 5 times what he spent with us..but that's a story for another day

Was there somethiing going on today round here Matt? I saw a couple of odd bits driving past work, one of which was a proper rear engined Mk1 Renault 5 fully liveried up? AND a mk2 rally prepared Escort? Coincidence?

 

Yep.

XJ220 engine:- Tom Walkinshaw-developed 3.5 L V6 based on the engine used in the Rover Metro 6R4 rally car and fitted with twin Garrett T3 turbochargers,

 

6R4 at croft lst year on the jack frost stages

 

not sure whats going on tbh

The guy that has this lives over the road from me hes has a few motors evo's gti's etc

The noise from the gearbox was deafening , it really is awesome

 

they were built by a company a few years after the 6r4's trying 2 make a more moden 6r4! they were supost 2 be rearly good, handle better than a 6r4 and they were a lot lighter using a jag v6!
But id still have a 6r4 over one anyday!

 

No. The metro had a metro engine, the Jag XJ220 had a modified metro engine in it

 

6r4 was one of my dream cars when i was in college still would love to be taken out in one

 

Ditto looks like a chaved up 17 year olds first car

Im sure it goes well though

 

i could be wrong but from that pic its a newer model than wot you are thinking of

 

 

Would help if you knew what your were looking at then Dean!

Matt, bet that was fun pal!

 

Thats a nice bit of kit matt, bet its an experience having a spirited drive out in that. i personaly like the shape over the original. Mark

 

Loved watching them at Lydden Hill doing rallycross with the RS200s back in the 80s

Steve.

 

That's a site i'd of liked to have seen!

 

If you're in it tomorrow, bring it round to fleet so I can have a looksee! I'll do him a good deal in p/ex What are rover 100s worth these days.... £50?

 

that is NOT a genuine 6R4 - they are ugly, but that thing is fucking hideous lol

i think there some kits made after, so could be one of them.

but not a 6R4

 

its a dam4100 isnt it similar to a 6r4 but tarted up to resemble a rover 100 still awsome cars with an awsome soundtrack!
