Default Decisions, Decisions ....

I was looking at getting another cossie towards the later part of this year, but I dont know whether to get the s2 done up a bit more and stay with that.

I have a little bit of bodywork to do on it, not much at all, but the engine has done 125K, although it doesnt use HARDLY ANY oil, and I do 70 miles plus in it a day!

What sort of cost would I be looking at if I had it rebuilt? Would I be better going for better internals, maybe even a 2.1 Zetec?

What sort of costs would be involved??

Possibly thinking of getting a T34 with a full front mount intercooler and engine to suit as well. Would that be a lot better than say a stage 3 TT hybrid?

Cossie management?

Dont know what to do

Before anyone says get the cossie, I changed my old S2 to a 330bhp sapphire, and although the power was there, I just really missed my S2 to the point of I wish I had never sold.

So come on peeps, how can I get a good 250bhp+ from my current car!

Thanks...........

The s2 will cost as much to run as a cossie if you modify it.....get a cheap runaround and have a cossie sat in a garage for the weekends
