You have posted this similar question shit loads of times

Stoo

Oooh ooooh!

jenni watson

whats the website for north yorkshire rs spares?

fuzzy

have deep pockets to pay for the repairs.

jenni watson

if a rebuilt.how long would that last?

Stoo

How long is a peice of string..?

It could last for the next 15 years, or 15 minutes. If it's a well known tuner who built the engine and it's not running massive power, it should be fine.

leather imo but only if in reasonable condition go for a 2wd faster,stronger etc stage 1 will be fine as this is what cosworth wanted it at!

doesnt matter how much you spend on one

its either going to last a good few years or 2 weeks

and be prepared to have it off the road more times than its on aswell



stage 3 will be fine but you will soon get bored

Hold on, so are you Jenni Watson? Or the spurious person posting from her PC?

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

2wd is faster and can handle more power in standard form

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

mechanic28

wtf you on about lol

there almost the same engines and the 2wd box can handle more power not the engines

4wd all the way id say though

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

so if the transmission is stronger and the 205 block is just as strong in a 2wd wot can handle more power in standard form?

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

if the 205 blokck is stronger why did they make a thicker walled block and most cossies use 200 blocks nowdays


but yes you have got me on that one

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

205 block is not as strong as the 200 block but 205 block is just as strong in a 2wd as a 200 block in a 4x4 if that makes sense 200 block was made thicker to be able to cope with the extra weight and stress of the 4x4 system,205 block was and is not weak and can handle big power in a 2wd
