PeeWee Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Talking about 4 to 5 grand so not a cheap option at all, yes it would be cheaper to drop an rs lump in but not simple or cheap still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 How much you reckon you would be looking for ?? Don't know yet, i'll figure it out when I come to sell it. A guy wanted to give me 4 grand for it a few months ago but I didn't want to sell it then. It's quite a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Its's quite a nice car understatment of the century its fookin lush mate! I took it out the other week to give it a run and surprised a Focus ST owner that it could keep up with him.. Had a little blat with a Clio 182 and he was again surprised to see a relatively standard-looking Escort GTI go past him at XXX speed.. It's a fun car..
