I keep being seduced by RWD
Yes I find myself looking at 340 / 360s . I cant help myself
Is it cureable or am I being stoopid
I keep thinking its big and I can toss bikes and everything into it and who cares its not a 480

You must not ignore these RWD pangs!!
The needs are incurable and once you have the RWD you become hooked!

Plus there is something about the 700 series saloon (especially in black!) which looks so "pimp" but without having to get the windows tinted or the car lowered, it just looks so good as it is!!aibast wrote:get 700 series it has a better balance than the 200, or a 300 with a turboengine. 300 has a perfect weight balance,

Barge-like RWD cars will often understeer a lot before they oversteer. They will be lairy in wet conditions if you are going all-out, I imagine; I will have to wait until I'm on a track to find out.

Still havn't got it finished though, it's parked a fair way from me. Only custom part on there is the exhaust manifold, and it will need a custom downpipe too. Redblock turbo's are slightly easier to do, but I was attached to that car (a 340 rather than a 360)
Eh?? The diff is not a worry at all, unless someone has been at it with a MIG. I've never known one fail, the box/diff combo is fine as long as you don't spend all day spinning up one wheel. The prop on 340s on the other hand...the polycrap diff is a bit of a pain, sometimes strips but they are damn good clean fun
i belive a 360 with a b18ft engine is meant to be quite good fun, or so i am told any way, saying that a standard 340 isnt to bad as long as your happy to wait a cuple of centuarys to get any form of acceleration from them!
