Can you ever go back from RWD?

Don't care which wheels are driven as long as it fun.

Big power fwd is lots of understeer

Plenty of rwd cars understeer and handling has nothing to do with the driven wheels

Logic normally goes out of the window when you are a drift-tyte-y0-king.

Driving my MR2 (on decent tyres etc) hard on a wet country lane just wasn't possible, whereas I've been having masses of fun in the Xsara today with stupid amounts of opposite lock.

Probably due to me being a crap driver and the SW20 MR2 not being known for being a sharp drivers tool but I much prefer my fwd hot hatches

a) In 1994, sure. Now? Yea right.
b) What does this have to do with anything anyway?

Why would it do it back then, but not now?

I can't tell the difference yet anyway so at this stage I could easily switch. I drive a 400bhp Monaro and a 120bhp Mini Cooper.

Because they are all knackered old nails?

It is old so therefore it must be slow? :-\

It's old, so very few of them will be as fast as they once were. Depends on condition, hardly a vehicle one would keep in tip top condition other than enthusiast owners.

But engines do not lose any power over time, remember?

L0rdMike · 19 Feb 2011 at 22:14

My MR2 was a 1994 and didnt lose any power.

I assume that's some reference to something Fox has said before, as opposed to a serious statement?

Not just Fox, but half of the forum. You assume correctly, however

We are talking about old nails here not normal, well maintained cars.

Just stop talking about things you don't seem to properly understand.

For a person who is usually the first to jump on somebody when they make sweeping statements on subjects this is all a little bit embarrassing coming from you.

Rich1988 · 19 Feb 2011 at 22:33

how have all of them become old nails now all of a sudden? there are plenty that are still in good condition, and still make near if not stock power.

fox have you been drinking or something because you are talking rubbish

Fox, would a well maintained car, ie; that's been properly looked after, serviced on time, driven in a good manner and kept to within it's limit and is let's say 24 years old. Thinking of a Corolla AE86 RWD.

Still put out the performance figures that it came out the factory with?

Locky · 19 Feb 2011 at 22:35

Having owned 300BHP+ FWD, RWD and AWD cars I would take the AWD all day long

Probably. Other things wear out though ie. suspension components.

Why do you want an AE86?
