i would like to own a minter with the recaros and split pokes but they are all gone and any mk3 fiesta with plactic over teh arches is hiding something very bad
if they put a turbo on that zetec it would have been historic
you are a moron...
how the hell can you say ford had given up with fast in 1992, the sierra cosworth only just finished production before the RS1800, and ford were well underway producing hemolagation RS cosworth escorts...
its showing that ford could produce a pokey N/A engine that WAS relible and lasted longer on less breakdowns and mishaps
they made far more than 500ish too
i have a Rs1800 spec engine in my fiesta and at 22 it certainly entertains me, if you dont mind the 33mpg and having to get it up to 3k rpm a RS1800 would make a awesome enjoyable daily/weekend car
oh also since you slated its power... 3bhp less than the RS turbo of the time
