This car is impressive when it comes past you. The build quality is spot on, and I'm pretty sure it does what it says on the tin. Will be a credit to any future owner.

there is quite a following for orions and you may find that he has a fair bit of interest, if it had cosworth on the end ur tune would of changed then, if u ask me to many people are biased on this site towards cosworths and big turbos

So you fully expect it to sell at Ł4500??

Why are people biased towards cosworth? Because they are iconic and the top end models that ford made.

You think this site is biased to cosworth? Put up a pole! BMW M cars will get WAAAAAAAAY more votes here.

Why not I sold my escort cab for 4k and it wasnt as big spec as the orion, its all down to the right person wanting that certain car!

This car is quick. I've been in it and matty is a good mate. He ain't bull shitting about it

Has it proof of such Power. Charging up the road behind your mate dont give an accurate Topspeed im afraid. His Terminal also suggest Power below 300bhp so his 165 is im afraid just a claim until proven.
I like the look of the car & i wish the owner all the best in selling it.
Never make claims about your car that are not proven or you end up with the comments you see on this thread.

No offence Rod but if your saying you need 330bhp to do 165 in a RST/Orion that weighs approx 1 tonne then thats complete crap.
I pulled 160mph with 231bhp, 205/45/17's, 5th 0.76, 3.54 FD, 6000rpm... the maths indeed do not lie!
I only stopped because I ran out of road, another 5mph was easily doable

What a word to spell wrong, eh?

[AJC]

why are people so quick to jump on some ones back, its ridiculous, instead of asking serious questions and enquiring.... jump the gun and go straight into slagging of mode.

what would everyone say if i said my rs1600i kept up with a lamborghini, would i be lying?

i know its true as i was driving it, oh and i seen 160 that night in it. and mattys orion is quicker than the 16i was...

i would of loved to have seen these do that, the look on the supercars owners faces

[QplateRST!]

There's no better feeling than beating a super car in an old ford! It's even better when Its In a nail like my fiesta ha!

As for Matty Orion running a 12 sec 1/4 at the pod next weekend I'd say it's easy done !!

[charlie luciano]

Not doubting or slagging the car off but the only thing I find a bit of a concern is the 'still logged as a 1400cc' bit

if someone buys the car goes down the road and God forbid has a serious accident they will be in shit street

if you mod a car with a million horse power and lots of blingy bits ffs tell the insurance company and get the correct cover, it will save you a lot of grief and money in the long run,

if you can't afford the insurance then don't get/mod the car end of

You clearly haven't lived I've been a passenger in a genuine 160+mph one and it was eye-opening

Hope this car does the claimed times, might shut a few of the hole-pickers up for once...

As for the price, did a certain white Orion not sell for similar money a couple of years back?

Some people on here may hate them, but to some they are going up in value. The Ford world is full of variety, it isn't just about RS badged motors!

I think as long as you insure it as what it is it doesn't really matter what its registered as, my cabrio's highly modded turbo'd etc, still registerd as a 1600, but fully insured all mods declared etc

[warrenpenalver]

165mph on a 20 year old saph speedo is probably more like 150 mph measured on GPS.

if your claiming your car does 165mph yet you measured it keeping pace with another car then it is totally relevant that the speedo on the pace car may have been overreading. In fact unless it had massive wheels then id put money on it overreading as most manufacturers ensure thier speedos overread slightly as its a requirement that a speedo does not underread so by making it overread with a margin you account for wear and tear over a cars projected life span.

from a purchasers point of view, 165mph is different to 150mph

if you had read an earlyer thread you woud see i had acounted for this give or take a couple of mph
I Quote
sorry mate but im not being optimistic about the CLAIMS the quarters are true and the top end run i was clocked at the side of mate in his saph cossie i know the clocks arent entirely accurate but i still had 500rpm left to go before i backed off so 165mph should be right give or take a couple thanks

[Zetec_mk4_XR3i]

nope the car does the numbers and sells for what your after mate to shut up the doubters!
