flat4alfa Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Why are these called 'Tomcat'? Is it to do with smelling of piss or summert? The swoopy coupe body was named that at the factory when in development Some think (typically Facebook warriors) it was a just the turbo coupe, but no.

My dad had a 214SEi when I had the 220. No power steering was bicep destroying. This will be veritable luxureeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheezey Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Which one didn't have power steering? My dad also had an SEi until I parked it half up a lamp post a couple of weeks after I passed my test. I liked it so much I bought myself one. My Dad had an earlyish R8 a few years before, an H plate(H434 RWA). It was a 214Si but I can't remember if it had power steering. He'd had two mk2 Cavaliers prior so it probably felt light even if it didn't have. Isaac Hunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember reversing my dads 214 off the drive and attempting to turn the wheel. If I remember correctly, the steering wheel stayed where it was and my entire arm fell out of it’s socket. rantingYoof and cobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1995 214SEi definitely had power steering...I weighed less than a gnat's bollock when I was 18 with arms like peeled cheese strings and I found it nae problems.

Ghosty Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Greater Manchester Police used 420GSis as unmarked cars. Not sure if turbo or not though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM6trhD6avU These days, GMP unmarked use the VW Golf R, Audi S3 etc. Jim Bell, LightBulbFun, robinmasters and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marm Toastsmith Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 is the clutch very heavy? wondering if i really want two tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 No the clutch isn't very heavy, just got stiffer overtime which is a long while. The cable has always been a bit stretched 'play' feeling and it's lighter than my Alfa 156 and miles lighter than any LT77 I've had the chance of. It's doubt it's about to pop, put it that way. I jump in this anytime, even if it did months along the line, it's a tenner. I can barely get two pints of 'Premium' eurofizz down here for a tenner Marm Toastsmith and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
