I built one to about that spec for under Ł200, its running in Marts escort now. worth the cash if you've got no mechanical nouse, but its not rocket science to build one yourself for little money.
If the 'low comp' pistons are std skimmed ones, you wont be able to run over a bar of boost without them melting too IMO. If they are proper forged ones its a fuckin bargain, buy it now

hi
65 probaly referrs to how many they have built at a guess
should go in with little problems as the fezy rs1800 is a zetec lump
as said above skimmed pistons are limited on boost i would go 2.1 zvh with low comp pistons but not in a fezy no disrespect but front wheel drive cars handle badly on uk roads with to much power and the fezy can be a bit of a pig for handling over the series 2
and i am sure these pistons are the ones which came with the engine after its clocked up a few miles as a n/a engine and not new ones so in theory more strain on used pistons which are not turbo pistons so its your choice just stating the facts as i see it
