Mitchell Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 am i wierd for liking the shape of the car tho, always thought they were on par looks wise with early ford escorts, or fiat twin cams of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Rear engined and rear wheel drive...Skoda Estelle I think. I remember seeing one of these in a mag' many years ago (but new enough to be in colour!) that was basically a shell and cage with a Formula1 (if anyone else, or their Dad, remebers it please correct me if I'm wrong) engine in it.It was a 2 door coupe though.S!

Ramirez Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Wanting an old Skoda has always been one of my shameful secrets. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Thank god im not alone!What adaptor plates can you get?

Mitchell Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 i know that there are adapter plates for a ford 2.0 cosworth engine ,but i guess if you reaaly wanted to theres nothing to say a cradle from a vw could not be made to fit ,like dubsports rwd creations.

Snoopy Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Looks like a nice easy car to slide.You really need an LSD to do tricks like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoalex Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 RWD cars look cool with the back end out lol, I would have to go for an old BMW 3 series though, skoda is a bit too old skool for my liking! Great vid tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 You can get an old Volvo RWD 740GLE for about £200 readily, prob the best thing to get to learn RWD driving, I have several times chickened out from buying RWD and always opted for jap AWD or FWD!

Grapo Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Lol at the lorry flashing him at the end. Car looks cool, theres a 2 door coupe like one parked in a street near me. It has next to no paint left on it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putney Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 to be honest rwd is great but putting it side ways will more than likely put you in a ditch. my s2000 was rear wheel drive and a spin cost me £1200. i do quite well on a go kart track and consider myself better than average behind the wheel but unless you do it all the time it will go wrong and you will be left standing next to your car with a fat bill in your hand. If the police sight you doing that you are going to get ****ed on for dangerous driving.4 wheel drive is much easier to slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMon Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Good luck in finding a good one!! Most will have rotted away to nothing. You'd have to do a lot of work to make it good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
