I've got "NASCAR style Ford Probe" on my list of pointless projects I'd probably never do. Its a winner.
Its not Mondeo PCD, its 5x4.5" (114.3mm) same as the Mazdas its based on. There are no Ford bits in it. Which IMO, for the era, is a great advantage. Its basically an MX6 or 626 under there. My Haynes manual says so anyway. So it should be reliable and comfy, ideal daily driver material.

I reckon they're crying out for dish and camber. Shame they're FWD though.

P.S. change the seats

I went in a totally different direction to everyone else on here  Raise slightly, with bigger wheels (but not donk!), add parking dents, roller on matt-black, add bull-bars, grilles over the windows and you have a Mad-Max style thing... to do it properly, you fit the entire engine and running gear from a Range Rover, put the air intakes through the bonnet and remove the rear hatch to leave a pick-up/weapons platform... I would show you what I mean but my 'shop skills are too poor  Graham |

ive got 4 rs seven spokes you can have for that |

Lets clear up car terms:
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Regarding the 'anal Probe' comments, I'll never forget seeing some of the standard examples in the States.
The basic model came with only a single radiator opening instead of one on each side -
AND was offered in a pale metallic pink - with red interior !

Load of jizz. Do it properly and cover it in ripspeed stickers plus cheap alloys and a meccano spoiler, put on loads of weight, be about 38, wear a tight black T-shirt and leather jacket, and drive around slowly in the 'cripplehook' driving position, listening to some 'Another Level' records winking at half-dressed pramface bints in the town centre late at night FTW.

The 24v are pretty cool cars imo. The saltflat racer/nascar racer look needs to get done.
