i think the kyosho version isn't quite accurate, i believe they recalled all tt's and put a small spoiler on the rear...

the reason was because of a high speed accident ... the rear was not stable enough... anybody know the story?

pitzon can you confirm if the tt you recently rode had a spoiler on the rear?

i love my z8... i keep it stock (except for bearings) and keep it in my office... handling is ok due to the long chasis setting...

gmeovr no offence taken... wouldn't it be nice to see one of those "old people doing their weekly shopping" in the wrc vitz paint scheme? just a thought...

I never liked the TT.
It reminds me of a flattened Bug (VW).
An ugly car with good performance is still an ugly car.
However, the interior kicks ass.

Z8? That body performs better if you cut the roof off.

*lol* Yes Ken i always felt that itīs a tuned "bug"... I hated it before the testdrive... And as you say, the interior kicks ass with the blue instruments and alloy stuf... After this i really love the little bug...

*Herman, yes it has got the wing on the rear... And as you say there was some weird highspeed crashes in the beginning, Hard to believe that a little tiny wing like thet ahould make so much difference...

I dont think this is a high-speed racercar but more of a cruising and a narrow curvy-road car...

But anyway, my other friend got a loaded Impreza and thats something to drive dudes... Oh yes!!!

Nice to have friends with funny cars, then i can drive my VW and save money... If i get bored i borrow theirs or force them to give me a ride somewhere

Hereīs my VW bu the way, you can get 15 of these for one TT

Ugh! GTi's

I had a bumper sticker on (the rear window of) my Subaru that said this:
"I used to drive a GTI, but I've grown up now"
Needless to say, it didn't impress GTI owners very much, but then again, the rear window was the only view of the WRX they ever got.
The car was white and one day it was filthy, some GTI head wrote pro-GTI and anti-WRX grafitti all over the car with his finger.
It went to the carwash and the bumper sticker was removed immediately.
Hence, the analogy on the bumper sticker truly reflects the mentality of the average British GTI driver.

*lol* Sad to even think of comparing a poor GTI with a angry WRX...

I use it for transportation from A to B without dying of distress, a fun car for the amount of money thats it..

This is why i race Mini-Z, if i cant play with the real boys in 1:1 i can rule in 1:28

*Mondo, white?? Isnīt that a kinda rare colour on a gravel-sidebusting-machine?? Gotta be a pain in the a.. to wash every day? Dont think i have seen any white one here in Sweden

My ex Zoob

Pitzon,

Here's a pic of it from an old Forum:

http://mini-zracer.com/forums/attach...s=&postid=6401

It was a pre-owned WRX STi, low mileage import from Japan.
I bought it tweaked, about 315BHP.
The nice thing was, the speedometer was in Metric, or Kilometres per hour
The fastest I ever did was about 240 km/h (150mph)

Yes, I do miss it, but insurance was crippling, at Ģ2000/anum or US$3000 year.

Looks very nice Mondo... I understand that you miss it... But the nice thing is that you can say that you have owned one

NOOOO not yellow!!! Atleast buy some paint for your poor beaten s2000

And it looks like you need some more layers of the blue one to cover some more...

Buy some black for the roof, you could bye a tiny "Humbrol" can for less than a $

Don't people like TT's or something?
I've found that the Mini-Z TT is way too squirrely to be of any use whatsoever. That stretch job to long wb should fix that though. Wedginator, go with the yellow roof and then stick a big fat University of Michigan logo on the hood!

Gee, I don't like the Audi TT, BUT with a University of Michigan Logo/Decal on the hood, THAT would make the car....

I'd like my son to go there one day... He's 5 now, but one day....
