rallyes are quicker than 1.6 gtis and used the 1.9 subframe and 1.6 rear beam, so it realy a lighter gti any way seth

This has always been my mind set for the uk version, i was not even aware of a french version until this thread.
Still think its looks disgusting compare to a GTi.

later english versions were a 1.4 tu3 85 bhp motor with progressive twin choke carb,hardly a step up from an xs(earlier cars had the 1.4 xy8 engine,it lay at a flatter angle than the TU and only had 75bhp) as they both had 1.6 front subframes and dodgy graphixs,french spec was a 1.3 tu3s engine on twin weber 40's with lower ratio box,no rear wiper/washer and no centre vents inside the stingy bastids

LMFAO! sounds so funny..."and gave birth to the rallye"
french cars= fun+just please dont crash them..."tin can" "coffin" "you may die tonight" springs to mind when talking to mate with renault 5 gt turbo.
SERIOUS FUN THOUGH!
french cars have got a really bad rep, but if u put the effort in to maintain it all is good!

English spec ones are 75bhp, iirc french spec ones are 90-100bhp. The english ones are essentially XS's with nice stickers on them. By no means fast but very cool and rare these days. Id love one.
did you have to stop to tug one off halfway through typing that?
