What cars would you like to see remade?

[obi_waynne]

We have the new beetle, new Mini Fiat 500 and other old models being ressurected and given a makeover.

Which models from the 70's-90's would you like to see relaunched?

Lancia Stratos? RS200? Capri?

I would like to see the peugeot 205 gti's remade in there original design but more uprated brakes,suspension etc.

Peugeot tried to revive the gti but they did'nt even come close as they handled really rubbish compared to the original 205 gti

Anyone remember the vicious lift off oversteer of the 205GTi. The 1.9 models were particularly good at this.

I remember that very very well.
My Primera was good at that also.

Blimey!

I can't imagine how you provoked that in one of those.

You have to really push the front end into a corner let it drift out abit then lift off the throttle and catch the back end slide. It's quite simple when you know how.

I presume you do all this within the speed limit

i would love to see the 3dr mk1 golf gti bought back to life maybe with the 1.8 20vt in it :bigsmile:

 

[HDi fun]

Mk1 GTi Golfs were brilliant. Firm riding firm handling and not bloated like the later ones

No I didn't actually.

 

[charger69]

Always makes me wish I had one when I see a clean one in the greeny/blue colour, can't rememeber the proper name of it.

Ta for the welcome mate. I'm from Northern Ireland, you probably don't see many of us on the site i'd imagine? Found the forum when I was searching for hand polishing techniques on-line.

I think we do have a few Irish members. Prevtec being one of them

 

[HDi fun]

Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain.

 

[CitizenErazed]

I thought northern Ireland was part of the UK but not GB?

You'll be wanting a #!#!#!#! site not a car site then maaaaayte. WTH it censors p0rn?

Well this is a family site for all ages not just over 18's.

 

[MasterAuron]

How long has p0rn been a swear word though to be fair? Might as well censor boobies and the word "gun" as that has far more influence on kids these days than p0rn if the media are to be believed.

Remade cars, Escort RS Turbo and Audi Quattro would be awesome.

Them cars are sick. Fiesta Rs Turbo as well I think.
For some reason I like the Fiesta Rs Turbo Engine better than the Escort. And I know it's only the inlet manifold thats different.

The Bond Bug, but only 'cos I like a laugh. It would also give my wife someone to look down on, and cut up and out-corner, when out in her Smart.

The Rover 3.5 litre P4 saloon (the Queen drove one) - oh no, hang on, Chrysler already did that with the 300 CRD which does look remarkably similar from some angles.

I do also find myself looking at a new model and wonder what on earth they were thinking of ditching the old one. One example that always sticks in my mind was the Mazda 323, of N and P reg vintage. It looked to me quite a sleek little 4-5 seater with very smooth off-beat styling (and 'slitty' headlights!) and IIRC it even had the option of a 2.5 V6. I even had it pencilled-in as my first non-company car after leaving BT. So what did they replace it with before I could get one? Something so nondescript, I can't even find the words for it. They've moved on again since with the Mazda 3, but they've still still not wandered far from the mainstream.

I'd like to see the Austin Montego remade in 1.6L trim so that we could all buy one and then we'd really appreciate what we drive now!!!

 

[saddler]

New Model GTI-R

The looks of it would have to stay the same though. Just release it with around 400 BHP as standard though. :bigsmile:

Audi S2 with 5 cylinder 20v turbo!

If it weren't for the modern nazi party (EU) they'd probably still make cars like this.

 

[Yugguy]

P6 Rover V8.

 

[stamford]

If only DTV was allowed to finish their turbo 2.6 Chevette HSR as a tool to take on the Quattro.

 

[charger69]

[e30wyn]
