Never driven one myself, but what is the handling like, what improvements should be made? The Datapost Escort RS turbo went pretty well didn't it?

Thanks for input.

 

they handle aswell as any other late 80's shopping car with a turbo engine bolted to it




great for changing lanes on motorways

 

As standard, shocking, but lack of performance keeps them on the road

 

Datapost one went great - and I'm sure if you have a few hundred grand fin development money you could have one that went the same

 

FWD works against it alot, but spend a fair bit you can get a sweet setup that'l keep it stuck to the road even through twisties...

coilovers
adj. TCA's etc etc

 

you ever driven a saxo,,,,,,,,, there shite cars and even with all them mods out handle more erst's

 

To make a series 2 handle..

hard work.. and expensive

But compared to what?

I thought my series 2 was ok for what it was, handled better than my 16i and as expected for a car original desinged to have 70 bhp.

Depends what your comparing it to.

True- they are no EVO - but stick a set of Koni's and decent poundage springs, strut brace & polybushed, decent brakes and Roberts your mums brother.

If they handled like a go kart they wouldn't be as much fun imo

 

 

As above, be prepared to spend a good amount on adjustable kit to be able to dial something decent out of them. I had the standard koni's and polybushes and it was still pretty shit. I thought it was OK at the time. Then I drove an escort cossie

I really am trying to avoid driving an EVO for the same reason
