i built this up for around 1200/1300 quid and it goes well




was a 1.8 16v xr2i now has,

2.0 zetec
de-cat
rs1800 ecu
exhaust and filter
gmax shocks and spring
4x4 cossie front brakes and braided lines
every bush and gasket changed for new
stripped out with corburu seats and harness
yoko parada 195/50/15 £150 quid a set off ebay and do around 2/3 days


to sum it up it does the job and has plenty more potential to go quicker its 100bhp at the wheels but has loads more tourqe then the 1.8,
it can pull past a 306 gti-6 to a ton to give you an idea of performance and was up with plenty of cossies and much more powerfull cars at the rs combe day recently purly on how much speed it carries through the bends,just thought it might be worth you considering something along these lines before you go french because i can 100% say that this car has given me no trouble at all apart from a knackerd clutch in 6 track days this year and gets some real abuse belive me
