Cortina? Blugh what are you on? Lets face it, the Yanks gave us only one good thing, the V8. Therefore V8s should only go in American cars. That said a 5.8 Clevland will drop into a Cortina, they were sold as 4.1 sixes in OZ and South Africa. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

The MK1 & 2 Escorts had the most success in Rallies. Try finding an RS. I think the Lotus Cortina is the only desirable Cortina.

BDA lumps were abit more reliable than the lotus. I'm sure the RS1800 had an alloy block. Been a few years, so maybe wrong. Isnt the BDA lummp the base off the 4x4 serira cossy? Shane |

Nope, Based on x/flow block. Belt Driven 'A' series I think it stands for.

A RWD car is only fun, if you have somewhere to use it.

Good point stevieturbo. Especially nowadays when theres not many affordable RWD's about, people are lacking the experience of them. Different ball game to FWD.

Sooo True..I find there are two types of TurboMini passengers The ones that giggle uncontrollably... (e.g. My wife in the old Mini!) The ones that turn white Hold on to something and scream at me to slow down (Actually thats also my wife in the New MINI!!) There's actually a third type: me. For some reason I tend to just sit there looking like I'm about to doze off. On 12th May, 2008 Vegard said:
RWD Mini = junk. Strange I always thought: RWD Mini = Midget. I can't say either is "more" fun to drive, they are just different. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

There are so many 318's etc around my house at the moment and as stevieturbo points out most of the time they are sideways. They are getting a bit chavtastic I'm affraid. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

i have an xjs witha nice tight lsd for going sideways, but i much much prefer my mini for hooning around. the jag is fun but there is nowhere to proeprly enjoy it. the mini can make me smile on any road at any time. and i fi had to sell one it would be the jag in a hearbeat. Its cool to hang the arse out, but you jstu cant do it when there are other cars or obsicles around. well i cant, value my lisence too much. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
