The Fiesta would have it, its 4WD and pushing out more BHP I am sure. Its basically an unrestricted WRC car in a Fiesta bodyshell

that was in max power in a section called supercar slayers, where they had a 2.0 turbo corsa/nova as well. All these cars raced a lambo gallardo or something and they all beat the lambo.

The fiesta was the quickest car there because it was 4wd and the amount of money thrown into it was like :glance: its owned by some motorsport company.

dont take max flowers writups seriously.. iv seen cars details change from paragraph to paragraph i remember a writeup ona mustang the pick showed a V8 then in the writeup it was a v6 then in the tech box it was a straight six 8Valve!! it is one of the worst magazines only just above carp fishing weekly.. its the only magazine that can do a 4 page feature on a 1..0 106 and then do a two page spread on the HKS drag R33 and sumos R34 together...

yeah might be sad but i consider spending 30K on a corsa only for it to have the same engine with a filter and exhuast on it than it started with sad.. the fact is carp fishin weekly is written and produced in a far better way.. its £4.00 odd for max power now it might be 150 pages long but 130 of those pages are adverts for bargin speakers bodykits and porn chat lines... the other 20 is filled with useless non technical badly written ####e they say that the magazine is filled with cars but how hard is it to take 2 photos of a car write a paragraph on it using the words bling, phatt, banging, i hate the fuzz, ect and stick it in the middle of a bunch of adverts..

read a magazine like practical performance car its rammed to the brim with intresting articles and is written english.. sorry for the rant i just hate max power and the fact because i own a modified car i am assosiated with it

it was a plural damnit! I avoided just saying rod cos I knew some of ya dirty minded gits would get all double-entendresque on me!! :p

And yeah, max is now just looking at more expensive cars :D Reckon they thought top gear was popular cos all it ever shows is DB9's, Vanquishs etc, so they should start going up the price range too :D Heh, my ex actually tried to ban me from reading Max as she thought it was just a porn mag in disguise, she was much happier when I was drooling over Banzai!

Roll on Carp Fishing Weekly - not a single chat line or 'adult' wallpaper in sight :p

maybe you should have 4wd your one as you were building it. All that power and no traction its like driving a car on snow i suppose must be irratating.

Have you got them wide racing tyres on there yet how much did they help?

It's hardly fair to compare this car to mine.

It has 4WD, a sequential gearbox and has probably twice the money thrown at it.

Sorry dude, I didn't mean it as a comparison, it's like a fiesta little bandit, if you know what I mean.

It was intended as a correlation not a comparison if you know what I mean

No reason to be sorry bud.

The reason I have a FWD car is that I wanted to compete in the FWD class, as I have always done.

It is too expensive to compete in the RWD or AWD classes and be high up the ranks.

As with traction, yes it is a problem, but I am in the process of modifiying the wings and chassis to take a much bigger tyre.

Somewhere in the region of a 245/50/15 or a 9" slick!

Doubt it...I am still fabricating the front wings.

That is holding me back, because I can't drive the car until they are done.

I still have to map the ECU for the higher boost setting (21ish psi).

So until the wings are done, I'm without a Micra...boo!!!

i know a way of making diy wide arches might be usefull to you i did it on a nova i used to have.

cut the wing like in a straight line above the circular arch and pull it out a weld a sheet of metal in between and smoothen up and finish it off.

cut along the red lines and pull out and weld like an inch or two in between them, might not work that well on a micra might look good. I am a bit busy at the mo can do a photoshop 2mrw to have a look, if your interested.
