Had it power runned well the results speak for themselves i had a compression test on it 150 psi on all cylinders and they done another test and showed 20% leakege on two pistons what does this mean they said they knew thta wild sid and alot off people are gunning for him

they said its worth a remap but i dont want to be throwing anymore money at it with it leaking on two cylinders

coming back on the M5 throttle switch decides to pack up so the car would bog down had to disconnect it to get home then my sat nav gave up and then stuck in traffic for an hour

im gutted and really peed off my heart aint in to this car anymore what do you guys think i should do get a new bottom end then have it remapped or cut me losses i feel sick cus all the time i put into it

the hydro carbons well 1200 not very happy i been told the truth and its hard to swallow

Hurrah, a believable power figure!

Now sell it and buy something fast.

i know what your going to say m8 told you so and i holdmy hands up m8 you lads were right i was wrong sorry but thats not what im bothered bout im really gutted cus the rings have gone and all the time i put into the car i dont know what to do cus i aint got a clue how to do a bottom end rebuild i would love to do it for experience but dont know how much its gonna cost me

Why rebuild it. Just bang a new bottom end in it.

i would be better spending the money on me gti and cut me losses and sell the fezzas parts

its really not that bad mate a bottom end rebuild aint that expensive couple of hundred quid and aint really that hard its probably easier to do the bottom than the top end or another engine is about the same price but if you rebuild then you know what youve got

Is that the best you can do?
-
2000 V70 T5 SE - 2.3, 5 cylinder, 20V, VVT, Turbo, 250bhp, cream leather, climate control, the works!

All the RS Turbo's should have the panel without the filler flap (unless its been replaced with mk3.5 item)

They ALL have sunroofs.

And as said above.. the usual fiesta problems, rust etc

not necessairily

as mentioned twice, check for rust sunroof, sils, under the kit, arches, boot, front and rear valances, slam panel, sunroof, under the bonnet etc

CVh engine is good, just check for abuse as mentioned by JD

Be aware though, the best mint examples carry a premium, upto and upwards of £4.5K up, but thats pretty much standard concours. Be wary of "tuned" motors with no reciepts with 800Psi of boost etc, as that will spell tears

If its had a T3 conversion check who did it, if theres no reciept walk, if there is ring the company to double check.

Also, it has no LSD, as the ERST did, so bear that in mind hacking it into a corner and on that note, make sure the BC box is quiet with no moans or groans, and that it isn't to hard to get into gear Standard clutches are known to take a battering, even with a standard car, so check what clutch is on the car, with reciepts etc

The interior is the main selling point, and a mint interior is expensive so bear that in mind if a car you are looking at has a fecked interior unless you are putting your cossie seats in

HPI check would also be recommended, as it was hardly uncommon for an old ford to be nicked, let alone an RS tubs

I wouldnt worry so much about a T3 and who did it, as its an easy as pie job to do.. I'd be more wary of who mapped it up!

thats what i sort of meant by receipts but didn't put it in such words, you know what i meant

hmmm dont know maybe put the money into a decent onei think a standard one or just keep saving for a mint escort cossie or sierra rs500

well if you get one, just give it a good look over as you would any car

I'd keep saving then. An Escort or Sierra would keep more value and be worth more in the future. Sadly I'm not the first to announce this so the prices have never really moved You could meet in the middle with an S1 ERST.
