animal47 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The r32 was a lovely motor for a while but soon got irritating, things like the hard suspension set up, constant exhaust drone, seats that felt like you were in a go kart and sat on the floor were things I loved at first after coming from a bmw x5 but got annoying and the rear seats and boot were way too small for a family of four. I would love to own another but only as a weekend car not as family transport. That is why I love the st so much, it just does everything well as well as being very quick once remapped.

cbr6fs Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 That Eunos looks amazing! You've done a great job of it Thank you. Funny thing is i've never really bothered by how a car looks, i'd drive a shoe box if it drove and lapped well So all the mods were for performance rather than looks. I do think that generally cars that were designed or modified for function over form are more aesthetically pleasing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Fords are clearly the most over rated cars ever! Although starting to like their later stuff, The ST/RS Focus' are awesome for what they are. I also like the MK1 Escorts, and a Forrest Arched M?k 2. But everything in between them and the MK1 Focus RS is a bit too Essex for me! I appreciate a clean Escort Cossie on 18" Rondells, but would much rather have something Jap from that Era! Still, my mates a big Ford Fan, so I go Ford Fair every year =/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
