hi

sorry this is a really bone question

DUTTON

Or if you want the sensible answer...

A Sierra


Ben_Copeland - 10/10/05 at 08:36 PM

Yep, Sierra for a normal locost, god knows for a mid engined car.

There ia a very nice XR4x4 for sale opposite me with MOT etc for about £400. Bare in mind it would have a LSD which is worth over £100 by itself.

I was only joking you know lads give me a 4x4 sierra anytime

once all the sierras are thin on the ground, wonder what we will use for donors in future?

No, no, no, no, no!!...... Best donor vehicles - not in any particular order - Yamaha R1, Honda Fireblade or CBR1000, Suzuki GSXR, Kawasaki ZX9 or 12R.

Oh yeah, and a couple of small bits off something called a Sierra.

its going to be a while yet, but im going to do one,but seems as i love motorcycles it'll have to have a motorcycle engine in,

is there a good place i can find information that will help with this as obviously it differs from book design.

how do i find out how to modify the book design so siera parts work?

as said before sorry for all bone questions i'll set about reading all the past posts tomorrow
