What was the 1.9 like with tt?

Petem95

Fantastic!! I expected quick, but not THAT quick! Little tricky off the line (wheelspin), but stunningly quick once moving - not much does 50-70 in 5th in 5 seconds! Got some confused looks off people who heard the dump value chip! Certainly had more punch than my mates classic WRX. Dont know why I ever sold that car

ukdave

So we`ve all owned pugs and fords so far ha ha, yet as scooby owners we sometimes slag them off funny that lol

ukdave

I know std they were quick,one of my old mates had one when i had my RS,bein a bit lets say big headed about my RS as so many people are,thought i would waste him-but he definately had the last laugh it werent even close i were gutted!!!!

easyrider

My turn then..........

1.Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport
2.Mk1 2L (Bananna yellow)Cavalier!!!!!!!!!!!!Was quick though,and the heater smelled like curry every time it was used!
3.Mk2 1600 Capri(with the square headlights) !!!!!!!!!!!!
4.Mk2 1600 Cavalier
5.Datsun 260z.restoration project-sold it only last year(owned it for 10 yrs) and was a cracking car.
6.Mk2 Astra estate
7.Mk2 Astra Sri-real wolf in sheeps clothing,suprised a few people in my boy racer days.
8.Mk3 Astra Gsi-bloody good car,owned it for about 4 yrs
9.Vectra Sri150(brand new)-was the worst car ive ever owned!!!!!!!!Sold it after 1yr
10.Classic MY98 Uk turbo-another cracking car.6months owned-got drawn to BMW!
11.E36 M3 Evo-very nice and quick,but a bit boring apart from the "tailendout" timesSold it after 6 months-not my kind of car.
12.My02 Bug with morrettes,Sti spoiler ,gold wheels ect-great looking car,modded,and definately the best to date .Owned for over 1year now,with no plans for replacment(yet )

Gary C

Vauxhall Chevette (good fun first car, double wishbone front and well located rear axle, much better than a basic rwd escort)
Mk 1 Astra 1.6 SR (Wide tyres, good brakes 100,000 miles of thrashing)
Manta GTE coupe' Black one (good value tailout action)
Manta GTE coupe' Silver one
Mk1 MR2 (Fantastic)
Mk1 MR2
Opel Monza GSE (Fast, 2 tonnes sliding sideways makes you concentrate)
Opel Manta GTE Coupe' sort of muddy gold one
Nissan 200SX S13 (Fast, laggy, unreliable, fun, sideways down the M6)
Mk3 MR2 (Best handling car I have ever owned)
and Ford Escort 1.6 as runabout
EVO VI (Best car I have ever owned, drove from Milan to Lancaster in 15 hours)
and Ford Escort 1.4 as runabout
Blob STi type UK (good, but not as good as the EVO, but cheaper to run)
and Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 as a fast runabout (two 4wd turbo cars on the drive , celica feels more sporty having a lower driving position, come on toyota, make a 4wd turbo car again ! )

Leslie

1939 Ford V8 in Canada-great car
1940 Studebaker also a good car
1950 Vauxhall Velox in Canada, so bad it was thrown away.
1949 Bristol 400, in UK. Beautifully made car.
1950 Veritas sports racer (German made) and driven by Karl Kling to win a 500 mile race at the Ring.
Citroen ID19, very comfortable
Lotus Cortina Mk 1, outstanding car, the original Scooby after I tuned the engine
Jaguar 3.4 Mk2, great for towing the racer.
1951 Leyland Tiger Cub bus to transport the racer. Everyone used to fight to drive that one.
Austin 1100-little roller skate!
Austin mini van, transport for the scrambler.
Lancia Aurelia GT- very fast car for its time
Ford 1600e, good car
Ford Capri 2 litre, ok for cruising
BMW 528i fast but tail happy
BMW 735i very comfortable and fun to drive.
M535i E12. Pretty historic and very fast too.
Jaguar Sovereign, comfortable but a bit of a motor boat.
Vauxhall Omega, amazingly good round corners
Vauxhall Vectra 2 litre boring
Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 V6 SRI. Much better and went well
Impreza JDM STi MY 94, Well modified, close on 300 bhp and the suspension all sorted. Best fun of the lot! but Mrs Leslie did not like it
BMW M3 Evolution. Very good car indeed and similar to the Scoob in performance and round corners too. Ok for Mrs Leslie thank goodness.

Plus several racers I built and also a Brabham BT23C to finish with for F Libre races.
Countless 'bikes, the fastest was the Kwacker ZX12R.

Thats a big list leslie!

1) Vauxhall Nova 1.0 2 door saloon (not a bad first car)
2) Peugeot 106 1.1 Escapade (not very reliable despite beinga brand new one!)
3) Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti With full bodykit, half leather etc, loved this one! Not very reliable though...
4) Escort xr3i Erm, moving on...
5) Escort 1.6lx (an attempt at a sensible newish family car)
6) Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo (one of my favourites, sold it to my mate who has tarted it up, looks well smart now)
7) Mondeo ST24 (liked this one, but steering rack and exhaust needed replacing after a year, so got shot)
8) Subaru Impreza 02 Sti-uk with PPP - Favourite to date, and still love it!

Love peugeot's for drivability, but don't rate them reliability wise, wouldn't have another one. Don't have anything against Ford's but don't see them as being in the same class as a scoob. Just my opinion though!

bloody hell, never counted before! the mk1 astra was my 1st and will always have a special place in my heart (it even had a cherry bomb - remember them?!)
the following 5 cars were all bought and sold cheap from auction within year - the b10 was awsome - after chucking the astra through a ditch - backwards - at 90 mph. no 10&11 were co. cars and no. 12 is the current money eater.

Without going back too far.....

1. Vauxhall Viva (joke)
2. Fiat Strada (similar, but not funny)
3. Sierra 1.6 POS (Dreadful)
4. Sierra 1.6 POS (even worse)
5. Escort XR3i (broke down on 1st day, and had warranty work outstanding 10 months later. No power and handling to match)
6. Escort RS Turbo (better, although not wonderful, but unreliable and used 5 exhausts, 5 sets of fronts disks and 6 sets of front pads in 50k)
7. Honda Civic VTI (quickest and best handling to this point, until some prat pulled out in front of me at a roundabout and wiped it out)
8. Honda Accord SE (comfy, but disapointing handling and performance)
9. '98 Turbo (put a silly grin on my face the whole time I had it, and ran like clockwork)
10. P1 (even bigger smile, but a few niggly problems)
11. STi 8 (excellent. With PPP, Prodrive springs and 18's it was brilliant, although did lack the rawness of the P1)
12. WR1 (far and away the bast of the lot. No idea where to go from here)

Oh this one is easy Josh
JDM STi with twin scroll and quick rack steering
When run in and using an STi panel filter, your gains should be greater than that of the WR1 (especially in the torque department) and if you get bored you can always get it remapped
