my other posts were being ignored (do we have to hear about your sexual perversions? 
So...
"They may NOT have produced any 4x4's with 205 blocks but COULD 4x4 be feasible without L8, 200 block and knock sensor etc etc? All hypothetical of course, we like 'debate' on PF."
"So, is it possible, if unlikely? Just unreported on any having been found by any tuners, experts, garages, breakers, enthusiasts, backyard builders or clairvoyants etc as being found to exist - needle haystack for this pruported hypothetical factory build?"

thats true (jtech) just looking along the lines that they used a different block for the rally scene ie rs500 that they did in there road going version.if you see where i am coming from rally versions are under more stress of course.

they couldnt use different blocks, they had to be in a production car...
exactly why they ever made the rs500....so it was a production car, and had the strong bits.....
500being the least ammount they could make, and claim as a production car,

The RS500 shared its block with its race counter parts...it was the whole point of the RS500 existance.

Of course, they had to make 500 'RS500's' for homogolation
Thats why I asked:-
As is it a possibility?
Ah sod it, cossie604, lets have some more of your perversions, I'm not one of the PF incrowd, no-ones ever going to answer me
Mechanic28, now you've thrown a spanner in the works

how many 4x4's were produced? 12k? IIRC they had to do 2,500 homogolation (or was it 5k?) so could some of the other 9,500 that were produced differ slightly?

I answered that question previous, this other post of mine was in reply to your question of what cars ive owned...which read to me like you were working up to a reply along the lines of what do I know about 80's Rovers to comment on their crappy-ness....your quite new to posting in car forums aint ya, you need to choose your words wisely or you'll end up like Dingy on here or me with Kris on the Derby boards
Getting to the point have we now both finished with the p*ss taking.
