not if they are set up right I have 2 cars on bike carbs a 1800 zetec in a mk2 fiesta on bike carbs pushin out 160bhp completly standard and when it got to 6800 was still on the way up (need some arp bottom end bolts ) and a mk4 escort cab with a 2.0l zetec with 175bhp the power curve on both is a straight line all the way up nice and smooth all the way from low rpm to flat chat . all it takes is a good rolling road garage who knows what they are doing

jonboisescort · 09-10-2009, 07:07 PM

went and took some pics of the car today with a mate in his polo

Dennis_Wiseman · 09-10-2009, 11:51 PM

Looks stunning mate.

How do you find the steering on the steel wheels with the different offset? Is it a lot heavier?

Glenn. · 09-10-2009, 11:54 PM
