Default ERST V FRST

Alright guys, I currently have a high spec ERST for sale but am thinking of a fez?

What is better about the fez? Are they more tunable?

Points to look out for when buying one?

Cheers

the fez is faster standard against the standard escort they aint as common either wich means it turns heads easier they are more tunable but do have some limits and can be hard to work on but if you have time and money they can be rockets for a buying guide go to www.rs-ford.co.uk hope this has helped you out mate.

As standard only have a T2 turbo where as the scort has a T3. The fezzy cost more i.e turbo's etc. Smaller,lighter....maybe quicker.....

Oh, and the main good thing..... EFI... Chatter

Fiesta is in many ways the better car, but the lack of space in the engine bay is a pain in the arse at times.

Most ERST owners will tell you the T3 and LSD is a good reason to have it over the FRST, but you can fit both to the FRST easily so ignore them

Main point to look 4 on bodywork are.

Fuel cap, they all rust!
Edge of rear bumper where it meets teh arch.
Round front windscreen
Under passengerside door rubber in the bottom right corner
Battery tray
lower edge of tailgate
inside the sunroof channel

easier to tune than ERST to a point, ok the turbos r more expensive an they dnt have LSD, other than that, they r much more rare.
