Well looking thru the classifieds of Fast Ford and Performance Ford, i c one or 2 nice RST's, for example 2.1 ZVH's.

They go between £2700 and £4500.

Are these gonna be reliable if well looked after. I dont thrash my cars.

Are they quick

for an example, a 2.1zvh "stage 3" how quick is this really going to be ?

I need to keep up with golf vr6's etc!!!!!

Cheers.

anyone got any links for other zvh's for sale, fiesta or escort i dont mind!

Golf VR6's are easy mate, they are one of the cars that always seem to want to play with me, they stalk me. Even with a mere 230bhp they soon changed their mind

Oh, and that was only with a weedy 1600, I don't know about ZVH's, I am not a fan personally...

reliabilty is always a issue with a tuned car though, if i had up to 4.5k to spend, my money would go on a mint H Reg with a stage 1 tune, at around 180bhp,

or a mint series 1

Even a mildly tweeked CVH powered RST will make mince meat of a VR6 Golf. A 2.1 ZVH will nail one to the nearest wall and set fire to it
