Sleepers

Postby Tony Smith » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:38 pm

I love cars like that, always used to drive cars like that when I was young. Fantastic when people in proper sports cars get blown away. Had a yellow Vauxhall Magnum 4dr many years ago (looks identical to the last Viva i.e. shite!) but packed a rebuit 2.4 with big valve head and side draft webers - 130 bhp at the wheels - was scary on standard wheels, suspension and brakes (I think they were made of cardboard :shock: ). The XR3i was the car of choice for the young exec at the time and I made it my personal mission to humiliate as many as possible. A friend of mine has a 1980 Fiesta 1.3 Supersport packing a stroked, supercharged, turboed, water and nitrous injected CVH running about 320bhp that is phenomenally quick. Had a little set to on a motorway slip road with a 550 Ferrari a couple of years ago it was close - until he flicked in the NOS and pulled away from the wrung out 550 :shock: :lol: . I love stories like that.

Si 21.....you are a fool! The Fiat 127 was a class act...yes it had a rust problem, but then you name me a car of that era that didnt (mk1 R5 anyone?!!!??). It handled and went far beyond its humble price tag and origins. I guess ignorance is bliss in your case! :wink: :lol:

Any pictures on the net of this little beastie?

I had a white Supersport with red graphics. My first ever car. It was a rust box but I thought it looked cool and loved it to bits! :D Engine was knackered when I bought it. Managed to get an indicated 85 one day when the engine expired; clouds of smoke out the exhaust! :shock: Stripped and rebuilt the engine with the help of my dad and brother. One of the pistons looked like it had melted! :shock: :? Slung a new piston in, stuck it all back together with some cellotape and it seemed to go like a (63bhp) rocket! Actually now seemed quicker than my mates 1.1L! :lol: Only 300 were ever made. Mine met it's end understeering into a (big!) curb! :oops: :(

mMy 1st car, had some awesome adventures in it, still browse ebay looking for another, unfortunately you hardly ever see a 1050 cone up and as for the 'sport' I think they all got used up in a race series a few years back.
