reid Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 if it had a bit more power there would be no chance it would be going anywere , i love the looks of the car , the way it drives etc just wish it had around 200 bhp , i carnt justify thousands more pounds on a zetec turbo , as there will need to be sorted brakes / suspension on top of that . why not go RST for a while? you're picking up lumps for £150 now, full rebuild and a little tinkering and your at 200bhp for £1500. maybe not ideal but will give the car at least a bit of the power it needs to make it complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
