My favourite decade for performance and styling was the 80s. Insane Group B motor era and wide as feck body kits. Was reading through a site that had all sorts of posts with mad 80s styling.. Thought I'd start one here just for VAG and see how it went.
Sbarro Golfs (RWD Mk1's based on either Porsche 928s or Merc 300s possibly others too!)

Same actually, i was a young teenager in manchester when that style was still kicking about and before i properly discovered dubs my dad had an astra. i saw a reiger style in the flesh and just wished my dads looked like it!

To bury far far far away never to be seen
Awww come on... I know its all out of date now and a lot of them were impractical and over the top but i'm sure there are many of us who thought differently when we were younger. IMO it was this era that really kicked off the modding scene and the pursuit to be different. They werent all that bad, as an example that first MK1 would be great if the grill and lights were changed but it was just the style at the time. A 600 bhp Group B Audi Rally Car... you cant tell me you'd bury that!

well found!!... i swear MP did it orange originally... cant believe it lives in germany now... ha, there's me saying if i had it i would do it black and there it is... looks great black but those rear lights have to go!

yeah definitely was orange, i remember the inside was just a big mdf rack of amps and subs and airbrushing

That rado looks meeeeean :cool:
-
yeah definitely was orange, i remember the inside was just a big mdf rack of amps and subs
thought so... looks in great shape... i wonder if all that sh*t is still in it..... i cant believe that that pink escort cost 76k to build! i wonder if its all complete still cos for over 5k it would be a good buy for a ford lover. although if it was me the first thing to go would be that spoiler and obviously a respray! I wonder what the corrado fetched, i know max power spent a fortune on that too!
-
i love the escort rs, i found more info on it on a ford site, its niot in mint condition at them moment, has rust etc and the present owner has fitted standard bumpers (but still got the modified ones)
apparently i think the owner is getting it back mint and maybe using it on the track
the corrado is in Ireland, i think the plates are Irish but in the Gay german font

oh yeah, they're not german plates because it doesnt have the license/tax bits in the middle.....

if i was building it from scratch i would not choose pink dont get me wrong, and id feel a tw4t driving round the streets in it, but its what helped make this car what it was/is, and if it does ever get used for track days, Pink would be cool i think
i loved the car way back then, still do now, always liked fords anyhow

i hear what your saying.... i think that corrado got the right treatment though.. i loved it in its days but orange now??? not sure, whoever sprayed it pink!!!!??? :sick:
-
i read that the corrado was involved in a accident not long after it was given away, it showed just how badly the car was put together hahaha, and also remember seeing it at the show, it was a little rough round the edges, someone on a forum made a point of this too, overspray on window rubbers etc
i was not a massive fan of it really, but iv never loved corrados so i think thats prob why, much prefere the Escort
i think they should all be left how they were or restored to how they were but yeah, orange, pink.. both bad shades :laugh:, the body kit on the rado is horific tho

horrific or not, it was done in a time when people thought it looked cool... by the sounds of it though the rado needed to be redone if it was that bad a job in the first place...i'm quite surprised by that, would of thought they would do a top job since it was going to be a prize, otherwise peeps would think MP was cheap!
on the point of horrific, 3 spokes are horrid and people are telling me to keep them on! :shocked:
-
i found this
"It was the '95/'96 Max Power project car and appeared on the stand at the Birmingham motor show in October '96 for the last time. It was the car just after the lime/luminous yellow Lotus Carlton looky-likey (with the nice three spoke alloys but very good Courtenay turbo conversion) but the last one before the pink (sorry, Karmin Rot) F2 Escort RS 2000 (aka Projecxt 2000).
It was a nice install in the VW… apart from all the air brushing inside. It was loud, when it worked. But the sub box was made from 1in perspex… sadly, the subs weren't mounted properly and the seal between the box and a couple of the subs broke meaning the bass was knackered.
Max were glad to see the back of it… right up until one guy crashed it into a lamp post and expected them to pay for the parts/on-off paint job. Erm… don't think so."
-
:laugh: thats funny, "Max were glad to see the back of it" shame... sounds like they spent a lot of cash on a sh*t build... ah well, im sure they made enough money out of it during its peak.
-
from what i read the corrado and the carlton projects were not bult very well... at all. now thats prob not really max powers fault but the people they employed, and if i remembeer correct it was always top companys :shocked:
i read the people who did the install didnt want to do it the way max power wanted, they gave plans in for 2 better ways to do it but they were rejected. the install company did the work as max power wanted but were not happy about it.... they were obvioulsy right
did you notice the pics of RS KICKER project car which was on same thread as the pink one, still looks exactkly the same
-
Yeah they wre probalby only caring about making the install look good instead of thinking about practicality and long life (being a mag)...shame about the bodywork, yeah i thought it was major players that did the work and you'd think theyd do a good job as it was being shown by one of the most popular modding mags!... mind you i suppose they didnt car if it lasted, as long as it looked good for a year or so of showing!
Yeah i did see the old Kicker... thats an old car now!.... still looks tidy but read it doesnt run right at the mo.... they should all have a reunion! :smiley:
-
its a shame some people dont look after things as say i would, i mean if i had been given one of those cars id have kept it mint to this day, i mean the RS 2000 is a £75k car and was brand new, the base car was donated by ford who part funded the whole project

it is sad as the rs ended up asking for £5500 to buy it!

worth that all day long
it could be restored correctly quite easily and that car will be worth ££££ in the future with them genuine rally arches and F2 lump
old ford RS's hold their value like flies to sh!t and that one is something special under that mad paint

Reference the Max Power Corrado TSR built the engine, the car was a complete shed before all the work was done on it.

It was a std red 1.8 16v that had been lightly rear ended plus front corner damage hence why they paid so little for it, we fitted a 2.0 but they did not want to uprate the brakes or susp at the time.
-
i can remember the pics of it before the work was caried out, i still have all the mags
Did they leave the breaks standard in the end then

From what I heard yes plus a set of lowering springs was all they fitted.

was all about looks really wasnt it
like i said before it was not built very well at all, the pink Ford was a much better project even tho it was a daft colour

The 80's were the last decade of freedom on the road in many ways. The cars that also were produced or came from the late 70's such as the Capri (Britains answer to the US Mustang we were told). But there where some very fast cars and then the injection came into play and the big 3 litre and V8's were not that un common.
In many ways these cars where a victim of their own success with many thefts and more fatalities and offcoarse the enviromentalists had plenty of ammo.
The 90's produced the speed camera, the speeding humps, the large engined cars went on the down turn as fuel started to rocket and then to me the dreaded heavy lump in your exhaust called the CAT.
Yesterday my ABF Mk2 left a Focus ST for dust, believe me he was up for it and it's the driver that REALLY MEANS IT in a close dual that wins it but nevertheless it was 80's V the modern 2010 . Speaks for itself!

Yesterday my ABF Mk2 left a Focus ST for dust, believe me he was up for it and it's the driver that REALLY MEANS IT in a close dual that wins it but nevertheless it was 80's V the modern 2010 . Speaks for itself!
What he said :rolleyes:
Which is why I'm stuck in the 80's when it comes to cars... technology had adavnced but only to a point where it made things fun, fuel injection and better placement/management of turbo charging etc. Motorsport: nothing will ever beat group b rallying but then safety became an issue as you pointed out.
When i'm back in my dub i will always feel proud whatever i pull up next to, even if its something faster. its not just about speed for me, its everything.
The only cat my car had underneath was due to an issue with clearance when I ran it over! :laugh: (JOKING!)

Always nice to see Kells coming out as a fan of utter chav rubbish.
Just spending £75k on MDF and other tat does not a good car make.
nothing positive to say again, wow what a suprise :rolleyes:
a 250HP Mountune F2 engine with a 8500rpm rev limit worth 20k then fitted by FORD MOTORSPORT
And of course the genuine Ford Motorsport F2 Wide Arches!! (how much would those Cost!!) they aint no MDF or fiberglass copies
also love the Green Roll cage
is what makes it a good car...................................!
Bad colour but still a cool car.
-
Love the 80's styling!!
Yesterday Up north (Stockton on tees) I saw a Orange BMW (now sure what model it is exactly) but had them crazy wide arches and fitted with a crazy wide 80's kit. Also sat on some lovely keskin rims. Looked the nuts. Colour was bit bright for me tho :)
Still a good example of a well thought highly modded german motor.
There was also a Vauxhall Nova modded in the 80's style afew years back in black. now that was WIDE. and Super fast.
Looked abit chavvy tho, but stood out in the croud.

I think when it comes to cars like these it has to be either or....... have a crazy wide body in a sensible colour like the Rieger Corrodo's on here or the Sbaro golfs. or have a normal body with a mental colour.. doing both makes is OTT.
-
I agree, the colour was far tooo bright for me..

I agree, the colour was far tooo bright for me..
Its like what was said in hear earlier, the Rieger kitted Max Power Corrado was originally Bright Orange. :sick: then Bright Pink :sick: and the new owners painted it black! :cool:

Yep black i think is the best colour all round :wink:

had my swift gti in porsche peppermint green in the 90's, loved that colour :cool:

Them swifts loved to be revved. mate had one in black on a G playe. bluddy hell it was rapid. Sounded gorgeous.

no kit at all
just dropped and a set of, wait for it..... TSW BLADES!!! hahaha i was one of the first to have them rims, i have old photos of it from 1995/96 era

Found this
"
I used to work at a Well Known Custom VW shop in the Late Nineties that were involved in a few of the Max Power Projects... We re-painted the Corrado before it was given away, it looked like a load of Seventeen year olds had been ragging it across fields, the Kit was hanging off, the Stereo was broken, the air brushing in the back was all damaged, it looked like they had been carrying stuff about that wasn't secure... They were out of money and Couldnt afford a new Candy paint job so it got an Orange Mica instead, and looked better for it!! Then we did the Magenta Escort... That thing had the best of everything, Ford Motorsport 4x4 Rs2000 shell with no sunroof, WRC Rollcage, Steel Cosworth front wings and rear Quarters, special suspension mods to push the Front Wheels forward because of the increased wheelbase of a cosworth, Group N spec engine, One off Bodykit..... The Rear spoiler was a proper WRC Cosworth one, the first one was cut up to fit but we mucked it up... No problem just get another, right? They wern't smiling though, at a Grand a piece... If I remember right It cost somthing crazy like 80 Grand to build and we had to paint it Porsche Puce red (Pink!!!) with a Lime Green Roll Cage. It came back again before the Motorshow at Earls Court for a few bits, but again it needed a Full Re-spray Needless to say it was their last big project... "

the 80s makes me borderline ill
un-necissary wide body kits, fibreglass tat stuck everywhere is the scurge of modifying
front wheel drive cars with the rear stuck out a foot, meh maybe its just me but I much prefer the subtle, clean and well thought out modified dubs of now

Clean is now the modern look... This thread was just to show off how crazy the complete opposite was.... some of it was purposeful like the group b cars, wider stance etc. The very first golf i posted is an example of wide but smooth and well thought out design for RWD. I like that one the most (apart from the square lights and grill!) I like the kit on my car because it was a typical not over done look of that time. I do love the clean Euro look but I wouldnt strip mine down for it, i would rather buy another car thats not kitted. My kit is no fibre glass rubbish. its original BBS and tough as fook! :cool:
-
i dint have no wide kit on my swift gti, this is one of its many guises, this was circa 1995/96, just the mad lairy paint job which i still like to this day :lipsrsealed: i was 17 at the time at the time and it was the first car i ever had

ha, classic, dont see many of them about in any condition! in fact i havent seen an R5 turbo in a few years on the road. the last i saw was where i live and that was a long time ago. shame he couldnt sort it and that it hasnt sold as theres a lot of expensive bits on it. shame to break it as the kit would get binned. the original engines were prone to blowing on them!... crappy carb with turbo!

the swift GTI was alot faster than what paper said too, they could easily show up alot of much bigger powered cars, an absolute GEM of an engine they go right round to almost 9k revs too. One of our fave battles was against dave of B autos in one of his 2.9 VR6 mk 2's, which could not catch the swift hahaha, then their was a guy in 205 hp RS turbo who would just not believe my car was still a 1.3 after he had been easily cained... such great fun, i still have the car stored away and miss driving it, keep almost getting it out and re building the engine... one day i will , the car is a bit like what your mk1 is to you i guess :nerd: :cool:
those pics of the skeete R5 turbo kill me, that was such a top motor in its day, to see it like that now, iv got the mag still, and its even in one of those previous links i provided from retro rides forum...

nope not that young, had alot of cars in the 90's, even had a mint mk2 16v in black around the same time as the swift, loved that era, and your right these cars are not 80's, the thread has gone a bit 90's too, apologise for that but still been interesting and helped take me right back to some happy memories

should have kept the mk2 :tongue:

i wish i had, that was from a guy that was in the army, it had spent most its life in germany, but was mint, i padt £6k for it, my mate had it after me, and kept it well, but it was the 90's, we were into the club scene :wink: he got into some bad drugs (crack) and seen as the rest of us were not into that he dropped of the radar, the car went to rack and ruin, and was sold on for peanuts not long after.
for some reason the swift meant alot more to me and i always kept it, really was a good fun car..
likethe look of them rims bottom left in the ad you posted
one one of the retro ride links i put up earlier, a advert for the teddy bear wheel has been posted, says they were £150 each rim at certain VW dealerships :shocked: :shocked:

cant believe youve still got the swift, thats great.... yeah i was a litle disturbed by the R5, only good thing is he didnt get the chance to put that gash bumper on!
-
yep still got her, looks alot different now, sadly, not long after that picture it was vandalised outside a nightclub i was working in, was drug related, not to me but one of my best mates who had done similar to another persons car a few days before (was a golf gti as it happens) the swift was very well know at the time and took the brunt off the argument, i was so gutted. almost let it go the way of the dodo but i ended up taking it off the road and it was re built yet again, by this time it was 1999, and the in thing (for jap cars at least) was very mad colour changing paint schemes, it was finished in a gold/purple (the shame haha) but i loved it and it was one of the firs to have this type of paint. 3 years later it was locked away in my dads garage on axle stands and its stood their ever since. it has survived in great shape too, not many of these cars left.
its tempting to get intouch with the guy about the skeete R5

He doesn't say what the crack is with the engine..... you have to ask.

Don't know why you'd bother, the recess at the front is there for a standard plate, looks daft it you don't fill it with one.
