i like the colour to! i really do like that...its a cool sleeper! obviously it wont be super fast but i bet it goes bloody well especially while it looks like a 1.1  no don't encourage them...they will rip it apart  ...it prob wouldn't be a lot quicker than a 2ltr fiesta si but at the end of the day still quicker!i just think its cool! got a retro look to it with the wheels

an xr2i with an rs2k lump apparantly did 0-60 in 6.7 secs due to the torquez being 145lbft and bhp 148 standard what would be good is buy that and whack a 2.3 bottom end on it and a 60mm throttle body it would be quicker then a 2.0 zetec Si sure its a heavier lump, but i'm sure it won't be much slower in the corners yes, commence ripping  and it looks good wheels, colour, recaros

Seen this on ebay before. I like it... I'd be tempted to do one, as said with the 2.3 bottom end. Look on ft . com there is someone building a 2.3 turbo MK3. |

Looks very nice, a cool little sleeper. But for speed, buy a 106 gti, strip it out a little and a decat pow a 6.8 0-60. Been there done that with timing slips to prove and only owed me £830 (£30 for the de-cat). A lad that stripped his a little more had 4-2-1, cams air filter managed a flat 6 to 60 and 14.5 quarter. There's been a few that have all done these times whith simillar mods. No heavy front engine so they still go round corners and easy to insure as still on the original engine. Just don't lower the much as they'll eat driveshafts

Quite a little sleeper that, i'd have it and make it handle better than a standard fiesta If you de-cat the 106 isn't that illegal? as it (in a normal MOT not a swayed one) would fail the MOT which makes it a bit pointlessWould have to ask the guy if he's de-cat'd that fiesta, and i can see that really doing a 106 would be cheaper tbf! But why do what everyone else would do, thats boring Well done for the chap for whacking that rs engine in there

De cat exhausts are NOT illegal. Its the emissions that can be illegal. |

But Paul is right. So long as he passes emissions, the law is on his side
