Looks good for a mk1 mondeo

 

that looks good the wheels up in the arches

 

Here's a few more

 

i like the mk2 aswell and the color scheme

 

The mk2 one is really nice

 

 

Very nice

 

Very cool.

 

sweet. I remember going to Silverstone to watch them with my Dad it was a fooking ace day out

 

Didn't these things have a 2.0 litre 24V V6 fitted?

 

Touring cars are 2.0 16v's dude.

 

Awesome!

 

yeah all the touring cars(even todays) are 2.0 16v with around 290-300 BHP i believe

 

 

 

Uber cool and proper slammed

 

used to adore the 850 estate

 

The rapid fit mondeos had sleved down v6 engines to 2000cc iirc, so did the xpower mg's years later

 

But that wasn't based on the newer Duratec V6, was it?

 

Youre right except all the Mondeos from Day one ran V6's based on the Mazda 2.5litre engine the KL , this was stroked and messed around with to make it 2.0litre. The later cosworth engines from 97/98 were cut into 52 seperate pieces and re-welded to achieve the height and crank position, also to encourage the valve tracts into the right place , works of art ,The nearside Driveshaft ran through the V of the motor to get the centre of gravity right ! Sadly now all buried in a Hole in Boreham !

 

 

Fuckin shocking the history that they just chuck away!

Was going to say I thought that the engine's were basically sleeved down V6's

 

wonder what size wheels they ran does any one know

 

Jesus, this is a blast from the past. IIRC, the MK1's ran 18's, MK2's 19's

 

we need more pics to bring this back alive

 

i imagine were there so low it just makes the wheels look bigger id low to get my mk 3 this low ....wicked

 

too right i can remember them at brands.. what a stir they caused

 

 

Lol at this old thread.Some top pics there fiddy.Keep the pics coming.

Did the mondys do well in touring cars.Did they have weights in them to slow them down at one point.

 

I did a thread years ago on here Lew with loads of pics of the old 90's touring cars

 

Do it again fiddy.

 

In the last couple of seasons they did when prodrive got hold of them. But it was really only ford and vauxhall (think there was another but can't remember) that entered in them days. The mk2's look mint with there almost michellin pilot colour scheme
