BMW 745i engine??
jimkk29
Apr 12, 2004, 6:04 PM

SubaruKid37
Apr 14, 2004, 3:05 PM
No, but I can see where you are going, The specs are very close, but not that close!
Another clue, the car is MY2003
MattMerce
Apr 14, 2004, 3:34 PM
elcipse?
SubaruKid37
Apr 14, 2004, 4:04 PM
No,
I think my hint was misleading. The engine is similar - not the car
jimkk29
Apr 14, 2004, 4:52 PM
Lotus Elise 111 S. 8)
SubaruKid37
Apr 14, 2004, 6:34 PM
Lotus Elise 111 S. 8)
You even got the spec right! Wow!
I was stuck when igaboj said the celica, because the engine on the MY2004 111R & Exige is from the Celica - So I had to clarify that it was the Rover K-Series engine I was talking about!
Your Turn Jim :D
jimkk29
Apr 15, 2004, 5:47 PM
Ok, lets go for sth more difficult now.
1.4 lt, I-4
120HP @ 5750 rpm
18.1 kgm @ 3750 rpm

No, not British. I knew this was gonna be difficult. :P
SubaruKid37
Apr 19, 2004, 5:07 PM
Italian or Spanish?
igaboj
Apr 19, 2004, 6:09 PM
FRENCH!! :D
lol, this is really throwing us off
Mopar68
Apr 20, 2004, 1:26 PM
sounds like maybe the engine from a BMW 2002. Or the 4 cylinder from the porsche 924?
jimkk29
Apr 20, 2004, 5:10 PM
LOL, some of the guesses are soooo off. :lol:
Yes igaboj it is French.
MattMerce
Apr 20, 2004, 8:40 PM

jimkk29
Apr 22, 2004, 5:31 PM
No, no, no.
I see this is really difficult, so allow me to give you some more hints.
As we said, the car is French. The engine is turbocharged and the car using it is very small in size. It has even won some rallies too... need I say more??
SubaruKid37
Apr 22, 2004, 6:50 PM
No, no, no.

And yet you say that it is no longer in production. How long ago are we talking, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years....
jimkk29
Apr 24, 2004, 11:22 AM
The last versions of the car appeared in the late 80's and the car stopped production in 1991.
KeyserSoze04
Apr 24, 2004, 1:25 PM
This one is quite simple but i'll go for it anyway:
5.4 liter supercharged gas
Front-mid engne /rwd
24 valve -SOHC 8 CYL.
Horses(626 @6500 Rpm)
igaboj

SubaruKid37
Apr 25, 2004, 4:34 AM
peugot 105 or 106, I forget if the last number is a 5 or a 6
I thnk 106, because they also have the 205,206,306,307 small models. Logic would say there is a 105 as well, but I am not aware of any :?
jimkk29
Apr 25, 2004, 8:49 AM
No, it's not any Peugeot.
Should I give it up?
igaboj
Apr 25, 2004, 12:38 PM
sure, i don't know .... about french cars :)
jimkk29
Apr 25, 2004, 5:09 PM
If more ppl request that I give it up, I will do it.
SubaruKid37
Apr 25, 2004, 5:27 PM
Well I havent got a clue, so I'm happy to hear the answer as well.
MattMerce

MattMerce
Apr 26, 2004, 4:08 PM
well i think the mini cooper is betterthat has nothing to do with the topic, this isn't even a comparison between anything :roll:
jimkk29
Apr 26, 2004, 7:19 PM
Ok, I give it up.
The engine I gave was used in the Renault 5 GT Turbo (final edition).
Should I post another engine or will anyone take the turn?

My friend told me i should say the Renault 5 Turbo, but after a quick discussion we decided that the engine was bigger on the turbo - what idiots!!! If only 8)

hmm...land rover made a 3900cc...so i would also say ford
jimbo james
May 03, 2004, 1:54 AM
Sounds a bit fast for a landrover.
RiceBoy
May 03, 2004, 2:16 AM
yeh...but its a ford...so it can either be in a cosworth or a land rover
12 inch pianist
May 03, 2004, 5:26 AM
not a cosworth or a land rover, its not what you would expect
nutty boy
May 03, 2004, 7:42 AM
a ford mustang
igaboj
May 03, 2004, 9:48 AM
it's not a mustang; cuz mustang is 4600cc, and it could be some land rover, because, it's name the engine game.. not name the car game; just name a car with the same engine :wink:

sorry but i was looking for the engine and the car really, my bad :oops:

not enough bhp for a TVR, unless you are talking about the TVR Tasmin :?
Mopar68
May 05, 2004, 5:02 PM
thats what i thought. Is it a jaguar engine?
SubaruKid37
May 05, 2004, 5:24 PM
hmm, Jaguar, I would agree with on that, except 4.4secs seems just a bit too quick! I think the XK-R is close to that, so it could easily be that!
Mopar68
May 05, 2004, 5:28 PM
but the XKR has more than 270hp.
SubaruKid37
May 05, 2004, 6:35 PM
oh yeah! well I cannot think of any V8 powered Jags with 270hp and a 0-60 of 4.4 secs!

Yes, but it has way more power than that, I had it in guess the car, it uses a hybrid TVR-LandRover engine (not the diesel one obviously!!)

not a jag not a land rover not a tvr...........

SEiGHT?? I thought that that used the 4200cc Rover engine :? Although, since you can put any engine in you want, the use of Westfields in this is a bit of a dodgy area!!!
