On 08/11/2005 15:56:19 my first turbo said:
LOTUS = L ots O f T rouble U sually S erious me dads got the Elan S2 i drive it all the time it s SHIT !!!! they are Vauxhall astra running gear, the engine is made by Isuzu ! the indicators are off a metro, the rear disc brakes are made by pontiac, and dont work, the hood leaks, the car sets fire to itself as there is soo much ambient heat under the bonnet and very little space, it costs an arm and a leg to get components from lotus (although you pay pennies if you dont have the lotus badge on the parts ie ASTRA) the turbo suffers incredible lag (worse than the mitsubishi evo) you crash in them you DIE as they are fibreglass. not to shatter ya dreams but they R SHIT motors, you would be bitterly dissapointed As Tiff was !! couldnt believe the dipshit put nos in even though he knew the gearbox was on its last legs and what did he expect would happen to the clutch ! not to mention he had pretty much detonated the pistons on a previous attempt..........................whine over STAY AWAY FROM LOTUS YOU ARE WARNED !!! lol 
My mates got and esprite turbo s3 and thats been nothing but trouble, it's like a kit car vauxhall loom and switches celica back lights, with the toyota badges still on them, and he's lost all brakes this week. |

He was gutted as I chased him from a 30mph rolling start and up to approx 130 he only managed to pull 1 cars length on me. His passenger kept looking over his shoulder to see where I was, my passenger was fucking crying with laughter......

The Xsara and 205 both make similar peak power as they have both been on the rollers, the 205 made 171bhp at 6950rpm (from memory).

on the first show i went to in my mini i was running late i was booked in on the british mini club stand at silverstone mitp 04, i wasnt going to miss it for the world so me and my 16stone mate went for it, just as we were approching silverstone on the dual carrage way in my little 998cc we were going past about 3 minis a second flashing them out the way of the fast lane thats when big dave noticed the speedo n started laughing we were just touching a ton, with two big lads in and a boot full of ice felt like a real hero until i got to the show n the group of minis i went camakazing past was queing up behind me at the gates, where a massive meet head got out of his yellow clubman i tought he was coming 2 congratulate me on my lighting speed n tell me that he used to drive like that when he was a lad. i was wrong he was quite pissed of as when i went speeding past him a stone flow up n chiped his windscreen. shame he was twice as big as me doh

Yes, as I clearly said, the Rallye would be closer to the 205 than my Xsara is, as it is lighter. Therefore, the Rallye is faster than the Xsara.

I wondered if they did a hot zsara. There was one in basingstoke with a noisy exhaust that chased me, I assumed it was a little 1.4, was pretty suprised when he didn't fade to a dot in my mirror. |
