Hi guys, firstly I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if not then please move it, thanks!
Im new to the forum, and having failed to decide between a panda 4x4 and a panda 100hp, I had an idea to combind the two, removing the flaws of each.
The 100hp is fast enough, but it spins its wheels alot in the wet and the suspensin is a bit too firm, everything else is excellent. The panda 4x4 is slow. Like really slow. But it is excellent all the time apart from being slow and underpowered. Ive got a fast car, so I'm not after a road rocket, just something thats exactly like a panda 4x4 only with enough power to keep up with traffic on steep hills etc.
My two ideas are: Buy both pandas and put the 1.4 (100hp) engine in the 4x4. Does anyone know if the 6 speed gearbox can be used? Or is the 5 speed of the 4x4 part of the AWD system? Added benefit of getting the bigger brakes and nicer interior from the 100hp, maybe the wider arches too?
Alternative idea: Buy a panda 4x4 1.3 diesel and modify to make more power.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, Ide love to hear them! Also if anyone has already tried this (the 1.4 4x4 or tuning the 1.3 diesel) do let me know!
