i was refering to a standard evo, even so probably an evo done the same way would out perform the fiesta on the track but like some people said onyl way to find out is on the track but as mentioned im sure the chasis and suspension would of been changed so there would not be much of the mk3 chasis thats standard on that fiesta

I seriously doubt it was changed. It may well have been strengthened, but the same chassis probably remains. Get some info on it if you can :thumbsup:

They should have a race of all the overpowered shitty cars with too much money spent on them. :lol:

And that would be just one of the reasons why we all have a moan about the cost of our insurance in the first place :doh:

I can't abide by all that crap. All my mods are declared, I pays my bills, I takes no chances. Yet people who don't declare eventually get caught out and honest people end up footing the bill. :rolleyes:

Ok, ok, that's maybe going a little too far, declaring something like that :lol:

I mean alloys, exhaust, fuel controllers, boost controllers, engine upgrades, air filters, and engine changes would be by far the biggest reason to inform the insurance! :lol:
