Joe Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The car looked very tasty with the complete interior stripped, with just the seats, and steering wheel shame it went bye bye... Ah well, i got me handles and strips, so balls to the bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 dont think paul's noticed this thread yet, no doubt he'l be posting at some point....was an awesome car to own for a little while. remember picking up a load of my family one afternoon and having to drop them home, car was full and we were going down a road full of speed bumps - we all had to clamber out and let paul drive over them realllllly slowly before piling back in further up the road, the only one left in the car was my nan who couldnt walk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_2f2f Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I think this should be in the History section as this is a True piece of EVO History. everyone seems to love Lee's old estate It done well... too bad its no longer on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotteh Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 pfff bag of shite :roll: Still one of my favourite EVO cars sounded awesome and looked the bollox going round Brunters Plus plenty of fond memories of events involving that car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 That track time at brunters was awesome, and the noise from those throttle boddies was amazing, it was good to see someone with the balls to do all that to an estate rather than a 3 door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMark Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Awesome motor, never heard or seen it in the flesh, but it didnt become an EVO legend for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 It was an awesome car. Im not joking it was probably the best handling car i've ever driven, Which is shocking to say the least, performance wasn't amazing, but it was a thrilling experience through the gears, the sound of the bodies could make the hair stand up at the back of your neck. Sadly it was never finshed in my eyes, and the more i kept fixing the more problems got uncovered. In the end i had to let it go. For the record though, 15.1 quarter was the official time. But i bet if i had more experience in the car, and sorted out the wheel camber,so i could have dumped more throttle i could have got into high 14's easily without doubt. Dyno at 190hp - although at increasing rpm limiter to 8.5k increased peak power to 203hp at the crank. Just check out how smooth that power line is. Persistant power!!!

Lee R Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 cheers or that input Paul as you say, needed a bit more work to finish, and then the bodywork........ how long did you ride around on the wrong plate for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSwagoneer Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Deffo one of my favo's Estates in the whole of Europe. Maybe not by the overall looks ( though the morettes wits the airintake looks awesome) , but TB-ied RS2K engine rocks my world. An Estate with balls does it for me. Hope my Estate will last long enough to valid some power upgrade. It has the handling, since shortwhile the braking power is spot on. Now I only need more power. Still no idea which route to follow, but TB's for sure. Grtz Bryan It was an awesome car.

TB on a 1.8 to get 165bhp required £5k for Ross iirc... Lee has always said he wished he went with Fiesta RST engine or Zetec-Turbo instead of the I4-TB-NA route NA = not alot of bang for your buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
