Its all good. The Ford badge is on there, for 2 reasons; Its powered by a 2.3 Turbo Ford, ad it was built by Ford of Germany. The car is far from stock, and alot of it is Cosworth; the arches, whale tail, steering wheel, suspension/sway bars, and more.. (Ford Sierra Cosworth)
Here is a stock one that I found this week here in Beaufort:

Thanks man, I actually have an original window sticker, and they were around $22K brand new. More than most cars in there class, and that was one BIG reason for there downfall.
I got the bike as a beginner bike,as I've never driven a street bike before. I didnt want to put a bunch of money on a good bike, so if I ever dumped it or wrecked it, I wouldnt be out too bad.

Yeah, the truth hurts huh? I know, my poorl ittle Merkur, and my poor little Hyosung, OUCH!! You all got me. The truth is, my car, weather its cool or not, as fast as yours or not, put up the numbers like yours or not, is my car, and I got it, because I wanted to, not because I had no choice. I gave up a Taurus SHO (yeah big whoop, right?) for it, and the guy I bought it from has history with this car, loved the car himself, and didnt want to give it up. He gave it up, only because he has cancer (WHICH IS NO JOKE). Him and I became great friends. Hes in his 60's and now lives in Ohio. I would take just him as a sole friend over most of you lame ducks.( yeah, you and your little minds say " this is gay") but you all have the same thoughts, but not have enough hair on your balls to say it.
Maybe, if YOU would pay for an acceptable car, and build it with your money, and call it mine, I'd own a common everyday "Cool" car like you would want me too, but that wont happen.
SO............Haters will always hate, the jealous ones will always be jealous (but make it look otherwise, because they are dumbasses)and you will be who you are.

No passes yet, built the head (big cam, big valves, port and polish) intake, and did a T5 trans swap a few months back, now I just have to get the driveline vibration out, then I'll take it down the trace, and see what happens.

As my first street bike, a 250 around town is enough for me. When I get another bike, which wont be for a long while, it will be a Buell Firebolt, like this one:

Pretty much the dbag checklist of questions right there lol. For forget "how fast you had it?"
LOL, yeah. I had it up to 98 on 95. I rode it to Yemassee, out to 95 south, then off of the Beaufort exit. a 5 mile run. It didnt take long to get it up to 98. I was at 88 comming on to the on ramp.

Really? Deals Gap is a great place to ride...I cant ask him if he's been? Size tire and preference has alot to do with the capabilities as do his abilities to ride wheelies or perform stopies. Great questions to get a feel for his bike and his abilities. Your simply an idiot. :Finger2:

You either have no idea what your asking or you trying to see if I do. With 6 bikes I have been stupid, have wrecked and have mostly riden without safety gear. Have been more of a curb junkie which is why the first thing I look at is someones tire. After doing 180 on my bike just to see how fast it would go I never cared for "How Fast" again. Now with a Dunlop 207 which was a fav of mine at the time I can use all the tire but when talking about a Pilot Sport I could never use the last inch which is a reason I ask his preference and size. We all know Battle Axes which came stock on the CBRs were junk and would slip out, luckily it caught after a about 6 inches. All I was trying to do was learn more about his bike and his knowledge. Anything else brilliant? :roll:

I wish I knew more about bikes, and tires, but not yet. As time goes by, I will know more about them. I do know that I can used all but about 1/2 inch of the tire. It took me a little while to get the confidence in leaning that far. I dont want to push my luck though.

Me being a crybaby???? I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'm far from a crybaby. I think its funny, yes, funny that some like to trashtalk about things they know nothing about, and I know, it all in fun. Me personally, dont resort to trashtalk much, because to each his own, and everyone is entitled to have whatever car they want, and each car can be built to be unique. I like cars that are unique, and not like others.
Anyways, for those down to earth peeps, thanks for understanding why I like my car so much, and am proud of it.

I'm not big on all the glass, but thats the way it was made, cant do much about it. At least there are no blind spots. The wing is part of the Cosworth look. Once the car is painted, it will probably look much better. With the multicolor, it looks out of place right now. Heres a buddy of mines car, and with it all one color, with the exception on the carbon fiber hood, it looks like it belongs:

Thats for sure. I found a 79 4 cyl turbo Pace car in a junkyard down here, and posted up on there, and they wanted EVERYTHING off of that car, busted up or not. I sold the Recaros with the Halo headrests. The seats were in VERY poor shape, but one dude offered $150 for them as they were. They are straight up preservation junkies over there.

It appears that you are wrong.
///MCompact is code for my old BMW 330ti. ///M (M3 engine) swapped Compact (318ti)...hence ///Mcompact. There are probably less than 30-40 swaps like that in the states, so I'd wager that you'd likely see 2-3 Merkurs before a 330/332ti. Even without the swap, the hatchback bimmers (of all years) are rare.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/kiley_sean/Picture002.jpg
But it doesn't matter because neither your Merkur, nor my old car were special. We are not talking about a Porsche 959 or a Ferrari F40 here.
And just for shits and giggles, my present car (Evo VIII MR) is kinda rare for a factory produced car. Only 1000 brought to the states (around 300 in my color). How many Merkurs were brought over?
Do I know about XR4Tis? Yes. I'm not ignorant to the car and even know a bit about Coworth. I know enough to understand that your 8-valve engine doesn't share shit with the Cosworth 16-valve engine that came in the Sierras.
What I, and others, had a problem with was how you handled the typical new guy jabs that were thrown at you. You had high expectations that we would just trip all over ourselves in posting attaboys, kudos and Wowzers at your import on a predominately Domestic biased forum. Once the first jab came at you (and it was a good one!!!lol), you went defensive and claimed we were all ignorant, didn't "know" anything about your car, etc.
If I posted up about my 330ti or Evo VIII MR on a forum outside of bimmerforums or evom.net......especially on a predominately drag race forum (let's face it..80% of import owners rice..not race), then I would expect some catshit being thrown my way until I fit in.
In short...keep your head up. If it was that easy to be "in" around here, this place wouldn't be worth a shit to be involved in. This isn't a "HI..all cars and people are welcome!!!!" kind of forum. If I wanted to be a member of a forum that accepted all kinds and was politically correct at all times, I would have joined some Gay/Lesbian forum. Say...how is SCGearHeads doing?
If you don't fit....acquit this shit.
Its a shame you know nothing of Cosworth, but that why haters are haters; Lack of knowledge, and full of ignorance!!

I don't believe its the greatest car ever, I believe the Delorean is the greatest.........not. my 80s favorite is actually the Lamborghini Countac. Again, to each their own.
