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.

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

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.

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