Well my 660+ yb is perfectly drivable round town, will be doing the comute in it tomorrow as per normal. Happily chug along at 1500rpm change down 2 cogs & its like a jet aircraft.
Perhaps some of you lads need to learn how to drive a Turbo car. Had to adapt from 500 to 600bhp & 660 requires a different technique again.
If boost starts at 4k never be below it when you need performance its that simple.
Perhaps 40+ years of drivin fast cars has made me more able to adapt.

mabe ROD, but you would not say its the most relaxing drive you have ever had would you

 

with a pink car like you've got are you sure u mean mingle and not mince?

never grows old

 

Good good.

Keep taking litle digs and I'll make sure I introduce myself properly.

By the way, have you ever met me before?

 

Rich







ps. when you coming to pick your Ho up? she keeps making eyes at me

 

I got a 4x4 cos with a supercharger it and a stage 1 2wd. The 4x4 has a smooth power delivery from idle to red line but just lacks a bit of the fun of the 2wd.

 

ROFL - don't ruin her!

 

too late

 

Anyway, tell your better half to stop having a go at me. Look at the Chelmsford post..........

Johnny - the irony of all this is that someone's just PMd me a pic of you and your beautiful missus

You've got a bigger chin than I have! AROFL

 

looks like you is in trouble mate

 

Very much so PON thats why I can take the PIss,


Its all in jest mate

 

and who PM'ed pon you bitches, ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Jest?

Hilarious.

 

FPMSL@This and mouthy Jonny as usual

 

I fuck it why should I care

 

Johnny B

TBh you started a perfectly decent thread and then YOU turned it to shit with persoanl digs at Rich

WHY?

 

Mabe I did not think he would take the way he did, It was ment to a Joke a bit of banter no more no less. I did not target it as a attact just a laugh. He took it a differnt way, So how am I ment to read it there is jest all over this board

just forget it

 

Oh god, dont start going all gangster, we've just manged to lose all that from the board, dont need anyone else starting it!

 

top thread


i dont think the 24v is any better than a 12v it just hase more power out the box and people take the easy rute and fit it to save spending loads on a 12v


and ginge its not revs that get ya to 60 its the gear ratio(sp) as the V6 mt75 box has never dun 60 in 2nd but the V6 type9 box can


rich theres nowt wrong with a xr4x4 thay are good cheep runsbouts

 

Who's going gangster?

I merely stated that I wouldn introduce myself properly.

Anyway, why reply - there's nothing on this post about fuckin underage girls or anyone taking a pop at SECS.

 

* legal disclaimer *

just recently legal, not underage

 

Well maybe you can kill two birds with one stone and insinuate sexual activity between Katie and Simon, that ones been mentioned before

Hold on, im stepping over the line again

 

Katie and SECS?

Damn!

I thought he had better taste than that!

 

my cossie is fine driving every day.

has monter cams,t4 and 1000cc injectors but idles perfectly pulls smoothly off boost.

would never really know it wasnt standard if you didnt plant it.

must be a combination of a well balanced and built engine and a good map

 

theres a difference between being smooth to drive, and smoothER to drive. One is more of an opinion, one is more factually based.

Some might consider a Cossie with monster cams, T4 and 1000cc injectors still smooth......most wont because thats just daft, lol

Also, alot of turbo vs n/a arguments have people saying its because you dont know how to drive it properly, and you obviously cant adapt or change gear etc...thats just bull. Ive driven some powerful cars, and owned a variety of unusual cars, and being 22 im young and learn fast. I can adapt to a car better than most, and i agree, a N/A V6 is much more comfortable for everyday driving than a tuned turbo engine.

TBH, after experiencing 4cyls, 4cyl turbos, V6, Straight 6, V8 etc on a daily basis........in my opinion the V8 is by far the best of all worlds.....and 4 cyl turbos are only better than 4cyl NA. lol.


You can get what power you want out of a inline 4 engine, but a V6 or V8 at the same power will nearly always be better.

 

The 24 valve is in a different league, sorry mate. It is so much smoother and free reving than the 12 valve engine and will always make more power given the same amount of money spent on it.

I've owned 12 valved XR4x4s
24 Valve XR4x4
Cosworth YB 4x4
And 4.5 litre V8 RWD 3 door Sierra.

The V8 is in a different class, low down torque, more than enough top end power and a sound track to die for

24 valve is a better day to day drive than a YB especially if you don't drive far to work as the YB needs thrashing to make it any fun.

My current 4x4 is a 12 valve and the engines are a bit flat though are fairly torquey. A 3.9 V8 engine will hopefully cure that

If you want to do relaxed go sit in the chair & put your slippers on arnt guys of my age supposed to do that.
I still drive for fun something thats near to nil in my Volvo & abundant in my Cossie. The Cossie is actually very comfortable, but a bit too noisy to have decent ICE , & thats all i miss.
Only cost Petrol/Maintenance stop me using the Cossie every day but ive put near 40k on the clock so it gets used a lot.
If i was your age & single the Cossie would be my main car, with my MX5 for Sunny days, but with a Mrs who refuses to even get in the car ( I had a race with a bike & she almost died of fright a couple of years back I have to have a Volvo, never wears out, never goes wrong & as boring as F**K.

PMSL @ This thread, as usual lve is in the air on PF

The only thing is the cossie just has to be revved more then somthing else with low down grunt. Just different types of engines and way the people like to drive. Myself im a lasy driver and love the torque of a Derv haha but when iim in the cossie i take it out for a purpose Infact i cant see anyone in this day and age really using them as everyday as any 17yr old car isnt the best to drive compared to newer cars

 

That was pretty much the perfect response.

 

My work Sprinter drives better than my 24v sierra, more torque etc. - but the sierra still puts a grin on my face, and I can only afford one car for me (got a toy for me to play with when the missus isn't using it too) so I have the version that doesn't have cosworth tax on it or anything to do with it and does more than 200 to a tank around town....

 

aren't ya a lanky streak though

 

 

LOL Sean long time no speak.

not guilty mate

It's started

 

Johnny,

Tracy at Jet petrol station says get rid of those blue centre caps.
Chav

 

lol Bitch

 

 

i am basing my thoughts on many different cars driven.

if you dont think other people think my cossie is smooth then why did the first two people i picked up in it say" doesnt feel like its 500 bhp" when i was drving round town

they expected lumpy running and a need for constant revs...

the clutch is the only way to tell my car is not standard when drving it slowly.

my cossie is the best long distance car i have driven, and that comparing it to a M3 i used to have
