I ain't powering over because it's an FF, and an extremely front-heavy one... with no rear stabilizer as far as I know... and worn-out, probably somewhat broken suspension at that. That said, it depends on the surface. Dry or even wet pavement, it won't break loose at all, with the possible exception of going fast enough to risk a flip, and I haven't tried that for obvious reasons. Lightly gravelled pavement, a normal rip should do it. Dirt or snow, a little Scandi flick should do it, but may actually fail on snow due to not having enough grip to get the car swinging. Ice or hard-packed snow, the back end can easily come around all of itself or with a little foot brake, though that probably has to do with having the older, shallower-treaded pair of snow tires on the back instead of the front (trying to do this on purpose will sometimes lead to spins that no amount of countersteer will stop, since my current skill level is approximately -1).
just stared at the project today. in the process of gathering parts, and i have loads, and i just need a day to put it all together. Jetta is in the shop due to another shop screwing me over back in Feb/Mar 2015.
Left it in a shopping centre carpark. Cooling system shit the bed and there's a nice coolant puddle around the front of my little A4. Will be back in the morning with the MX5 to assess it more thoroughly. Owning two cars is great.
fix the leak and sell the a4. use that money to get another mx5 so yours has a friend. or blow 5 grand on a k24 swap and have a miata that will burn most mustangs.
made in america. great for highway cruising. going fast in a straight line gets old fast. i live in a city with tight highways and close quarters.
@amarks240, Mustangs are pretty rare over here. Only spotted one or two in 2015. K24s are yuck. F20C 4 LYF Anyway. Moved the A4 to a safer location. 5 minute drive got what's left in the cooling system to over boiling point. 2spoopy warped heads
Mhm, you do realize that the modern Mustang has independent rear suspension, a modern platform, and is made to go around those things called "corners", right? Let's go man, time to get out of the 90's. The Honda K24 isn't the best engine in the world anymore, the Honda Civic isn't the best economy car anymore, and Mustangs aren't built for drag racing anymore.
Figured out which wires do what in terms of electrics/starter on the scooter. Then hotwired it because I could.
Even some SRA Mustangs can corner (See: S197 GT 5.0). Also remember that a certain famous RWD import has an SRA as well, so it's not entirely worthless.
The 90s civics are still the best economy cars in the world but not mine. I turned mine into a sports car. That's what muscle cars used to be about. Turning a cheap car into something that can truly make your heart race. The civic is the early 70s mustangs of our generation. Put 2500 into another car and have it pull more lateral gs than a 911 gt3. I'll wait. Today's car makers have all but alienated true car enthusiasts like most of us. You'll never catch me driving a 2016 civic and you'll damn sure never catch me if your driving one.
You need a harsh reality check if you honestly think a FF Civic can keep up with a 911 GT3. It's not all about the numbers.
