What is the Germans fascination with deep dish rims? Ithink they look terrible. The vid was ok until it started looking like a maccy d's on a Friday night :headshake:

 

[Manix]

thats pretty good! Sounds good! Nothing has as much rear seat room in it as a scorpio. Um i had a blue one like that one in the vid but not a V6, but still a great barge of a motor they are....!

 

[karlos]

that had a sierra cosworth front bumper on it!

Well his driving is crap i must say, both in the street (stupid) on off it (rubbish). But i really do like that Granada! Ive never seen a cossie bumper on one before, and it sounds awesome!

Rear wheel drive ... you just cant beat it and so much better than FWD ... engine in the right place and gearbox where it should be with power to the back end ...

Mk2 escort verses pug 206. Magazine at work / me at home.

 

[totalguy]

i still preffer rwd no mater what anyone says one of the best advantages of rwd is a better turning circle for a start, the mk3 turning circle isnt that good either

 

[rusdee]

found these on the samw site

 

[Dave6656]

mk2 escort v pug206 ?? hardly fare is it considering the pug is a lot newer lol now if it was sierra cossie RWD against something of same age with FWD its a bit more like it lol .. back when i had the granada 2.8 i used to leave my mates behind in the snow in their XR3 escorts out on Dartmoor in the winter on our hillclimb route .. i always made it up and they didnt lol

But Dave :whistling: surely thats just ONE aspect of driving style and pro`s for the rwd. The article covers ALL driving styles. And remember - all you need to do is adapt YOUR driving style to front wheel drive as have the competitors in the new Ford Fiesta rallye challenge series.

OOOOH I feel a debate coming on :gayfight: :woot: :gayfight:

 

[streetboy]

deep dish rims rule Oz the wheels are RH alurad Topline AA rims 19" to suit audi/merc fitment and are simular to the merc lorinser/aero rims........pcd is 112 on 5 stud granadas the same pcd as mercs........

on my old mk2 ghia x i had a set of merc amg penta 5 spokes (pic) which i still have and are worth a fortune now after seeing a set go for silly money on ebay a while ago....looked well smart in the 80s with the arches rolled.....

as for FWD and RWD it has to be RWD everytime...fwd just sit and spin down the pod because of weight transfer... whereas the rwd get far better traction....also rwd is good for steering from the rear..depends what peeps prefer realy as to what is best.........

lol i still say front wheels are for taking you in the correct direction you wish to go .... not fighting torque steer :woot: .. right i am taking my old fashioned idea's outa here lol ( still rather have RWD ) :whistling: :whistling:

PS: i also like deep dish wheels .. something with a rim like Kerrys old wheels which someone else have now got .. Not mentioning any names .... JAMIE!!!! :annoyed:
