4x4

was looking for a second car and saw a nice pic of a black mk6 in Performance Ford mag with a escos splitter on.

so now im tempted.

which is best out of rs2000 4x4, 2wd and gti? whats the difference between engines

rigwrecker

rs2k has a 2L 16 valve engine wi 150 bhp the gti has a 1.8 zetec wi 115 bhp

ive seen this black MK6 RS2000 with an escos splitter





both 2wd and 4x4 RS2000's are 2.0 16v 150bhp
GTi is 1.8 16v zetec 115bhp

go for a 2wd RS2000 or a GTi, will be good for a 2nd car, 4x4 have a lot of problems and i think they are quite expensive to buy because of their rarity

id pick the 2wd RS2000 out of the three

and if any of the above is wrong, then im mistaken........ lol

rigwrecker

cool lookin rs2k

4x4

cheers

4x4

indycos

thats the one

thanks for the advice.

i assumed the 2wd rs2k was the one to go for.

Not too sure on the gti, Whats the tunnability of both engines, basic tunnig though

rs_daz

i dont know much about tuning on them mate, but put on an exhaust and filter on either one (RS or GTi) + a set of nice wheels, and you'll have yourself a nice car

i havent seen that black one lately, but if im correct, i think the plate has been changed to J444 ESR now, but i may be mistaken

i think the guy who owns it is from on here
i took those pics above at last years ford fair

love the car, dont like the mudflaps at all though

rs_daz

Tuning the 2k..

Mines 175bhp at the mo.

Collins powerchip
JJ Manifold
JJ Throttle Body
Modified Airbox
Decat Mongoose system.

But its changed abit since then so MAYBE more
As i have A JJ 65mm Focus Central Throttle Body and modifed Plenum.

indycos

i really like this MK5, and the above MK6



hope the owners do not mind me posting pics

the cars are both stunning

4x4

is that a mk5? what engines do mk5's come in?

4x4

rs_daz

im probably gonna end up with one.

cheers for the info

Roy

If you get a mk5 watch out for rust. Same with the mk6. I have seen a mk6 rs2k and its had a hell of a lot of rust.

I used to own a GTi. Big power difference between the rs2k and the GTi.

If you can find a decent mk6 or mk5 rs2000 then go for it. If not there is pleny of GTi's floating around the place

indycos

yes mate, factory MK5, you can get a 1.8 16v XR3i that looks very similar, or an RS2000 which is a 2.0 16v (same as the MK6 one i think)

4x4

nice one

4x4

indycos

think im gonna have to go for the mk5 after the pic you just posted, but cant fnid them on autotrader

4x4

the grill is different to the standard rs2k, is this an escos grill? what else has he done to the front end?

better still do we know who owns it?

rs_daz

Yeh a guy on the rs2000 site owns it..


Look on ebay for a rs2000 fookin loads about.

the mk5 looks a bit dated now i think, the k6 looks better but you lose the bonnet bulge

as for engine options, remove said 2.0 I4 lump, replace with 2.3 lump from a galaxy, lose the balancer shafts, plug the hole up, swap the cams, 170 bhp

Cawood

get a mk5 2wd RS2k

best ones IMO, i've had 4 now, the 4x4's are pretty poo, so slow, feel proper sluggish n heavy

mk6 if ya fancy something newer feeling

mk5 if you want a more sporty looking car

4x4

mate your car looks , you selling??????? if not i'll try ebay, thanx for the ideas.

Cheers everyone giving ideas

een klein verschil tussen rs 2000 en 2000 4x4. De rs2000 heeft 110 kw en 150pk. De 4x4 heeft 108kw en 148pk. Die is minder snel van 0 naar 100 maar is veel beter in het bochtenwerk.
Grtz.
