our estate is used on a regular basis, and returns very good mpg, even with a 4.1 diff it will still hit 115 and bobs on at 75/80 on the motorway nicely,, we run a 20 zetec on 1800 rs ecu and inlet ( this allows us to run standerd brake servo ), we always get 104 hp @ wheels ,, the car is bomb proof, we have done loads of track days, its been round the ring, and its still goin a few years on ,,
the conversion is well worth doin
