which out of the 2 would you use?

determind to get a track car this year, gonna be one of the 2

and what mods would you make? gonna be a budget track car as well not spending ££££££

oh n its gonna be my everyday car! , although that dunt matter 2 much as i walk to work and im insured on the birds car

 

Id use a fiesta as its lighter and cheaper. Also i wouldnt use an rs1800 id get a 1.6 Si and put a 2.0 engine in . That way its actually cheaper than rs1800 and has a bit more torque.

 

I use an Rs1800

No special mods on it at all apart from a cheap spax suspension kit and i run it on trackday tyres and race pads and it suprises cars with twice the power on track!
Recently added a rollcage though after seeing a nasty accident lol.

 

rs2000 all the way,more power out the box, simple chip exhaust filter and a t/body form one of the guys from www.rs2000-16v.com and you have got 175bhp, they handle better than the rs1800 also,look what marco has done and thats on a standard engine
cheeRS gary
AKA shrek

 

RS2000 all the way

 

ask marco




std rs2000 of marco,s is really good on track

 

I had a RS1800 as a track car and it fared pretty well. I would recommend a decent suspension and brakes upgrade and some good tyres as handling will be important as it's not the fastest of cars.

Wildheart and Steve B off here have both had RS1800's as track cars and I've seen them more than hold their own against higher specced cars.

I'd use the Fiesta, due to the size...

 

RS2000 mate

ive still got the 4x4 u sold me

 

ha av ya? nice one, i cant seem to stay away from the RS2k's quality motors, want another

done owt else to yours? hows it running?

gonna get shut of the cossie me thinks

 

yeah been meanin to speak to marco about it, see what he has to say about his

i know, i want it! but gotta sell the cossie first as its replacing that

 

put a new engine in as the old one packed up not long after i bought it

put a superchip and a panel filter on it today, gonna tidy up the bodywork this year and get rid of all the rust,

 

shit! you ad to put a new engine in??!?! gutted bud

what happend with it?

does it feel any different now its chipped?

 

was coming home from uni on the motorway and it died, head gasket went, took the head off and the bores were all shit up and was a bit of a mess so i just bought a 2nd hand engine with lower miles,

superchip makes alot of difference, put it on and a panel filter and it feels smoother and revs better and higher

was pretty cheap aswell paid about £65 for the chip and then £58 or sumthing to get it reflashed at graham goode racing today
