Welcome again.

That is hard looking alright.

The rear spoiler looks very purposefull.

What do you use it for?

[mallspeed]

i just do track days in it and have a play now and again on the road , well when i get time to bring it out and mot/tax it i just love anything rear wheel drive , more fun to drive

[d7uge]

EEEwwwffff!!!!


Love it! :-)


Thought about RWD converting mine before , maybe next time I blow a box up I might. lol

What do they behave like in comparison to say a 3dr when RWD converted? Just with the shorter wheelbase etc.. I'd imagine they could be a bit of a handfull.

[mallspeed]

yes they are a handfull (in wet) but i think that is the fun about rwd cars , more fun .

[d7uge]

Oh aye , don't get me wrong i've had my fair share of rwd stuff , and yeah I prefer it.. gotta agree with ya there. I just wondered how well the Escos shell behaved when in RWD form as it's much shorter than other RWD cossies.

[mallspeed]

its just like a mk1 or mk2 esort very 4giving ;D

[mallspeed]

it was booked in at donny for a trackday , but with the weather its off untill next year
