Clearly the right moment to use this again…thats right, its the OAM Phoenix GTi (Sadly not in overdrive this time round)

#1985 OAM Phoenix GTi

OAM Phoenix GTi in Laguna Turquoise

The 1985 OAM Phoenix GTi is the best selling car OAM ever produced. Production of the original spec began in June 1981, with the GTi Facelift in October 1985, and the final production model leaving the factory in May 1991.

One of the most iconic car OAM ever produced, even more so than the OAM Chevalier, the Phoenix was a versatile machine, competing with Group B machines around the mountains of Pikes Peak, while also battling against Group A cars in 24 Hour endurance races.

With a powerful, yet economical 2.8L V6 Turbo, the Phoenix was fast, reaching 141mph, while averaging 32(UK) mpg. The interior of the new GTi spec was space-age, with an electronic dash and electric windows, however, compared to the Overdrive Spec, this was merely standard. And at the time, this car was a bargain, costing only $16,900 for the standard model.

It’s a shame, there a lot of good bodies with a wheelbase of just over 2.5m. Could you perhaps make it 2.6m or less?

Too late to change now, sorry :wink:

The Silvia body is 2.51m :rage:

So, something I COMPLETELY forgot to mention was mods.

No CaptainD00M Mods or Barth bodies. If any users have used these mods, I will allow you to make the necessary changes before the deadline.

So, I’m going to pushing the deadline forward from the 28th to the 24th. So I have a week before going back to school to do it.

Anyway, here’s an Entry list so far.

i’ll run it to you soon.



Introducing the Cordona LE, totally not a VX-T/Alcyone ripoff. As you’d not expect it’s the digital age in car form, baby!

LE stands for Limited Edition, because this brings all the hi-tech, lightweight construction techniques to the family automobile. DOHC, turbo, electronic fuel injection, AWD with 50/50 split and a sweet 5 speed shifter for the hero driver in you. Double-wishbone all around, aluminium panels and block and pistons and 225 sports tyres for the sharpest most precise handling and superior grip. You’ll be ready for anything in the Cordona: for fast you have 219bhp bringing you to 100km/h in just 5.5s and under 14s quarter mile, for family you have seats for four, an 8-track for the latest tunes, and better than 23US MPG mileage.

This is your sport compact: high tech and sophisticated to make your life choices simple. It will do everything you need from a car, all for 17550.

Seeing your car got me rethinking the rear end of my car a bit. It didn’t fit the 80’s too well, lets see what I can come up with.
Also, pretty close stats to my car, decided to shrink the engine a bit, I think 300 hp was a bit much.

It’s totally NOT an Alcyone rip-off.

An Alcyone would have pop-up headlamps. Hehehe

I needed to stop ripping it off somewhere down the line of the bodywork! :laughing:

It is the year 1985. Young Laffy buys some Transformers. Other stuff happens.


It is a year where people are interested by this new V6 thing. A year when you could call a car ‘Euro style’ and not have things thrown at it. Or thrown at you. It is time to buy a Primavera.
