ive got shot of the vr6 - replacement car inside!
Just got myself a nice fiesta turbo, only just came back from getting it so pics are a bit shite but you get the general idea
needs a few problems sorting but nothing serious! Now lee needs an RS :2t:

Looks clean and tidy, i wouldnt do anything to it apart from lower the front a little, keep it standard looking 
How does it go and feel compared to the VR?
And also what happened to it? did you do a part x or sell it seperatly? if so that was quick

it feels a lot rougher, smaller, the sound is definitely good, i loved the grunt of the vr6 but the wastegate chatter sounds pretty impressive. Goes well enough from what ive driven it on test drive, pulls a bit better low down, the vr seemed to take a while to get going
Im gonna lower it, get some door mouldings and new ford badges and thats about it tbh, t3 instead of the t2, and see how i get on after that
feels good to be back in an RS

I've always wondered this..... not just on that fiesta, but a few of the older escorts too. Whats with the green stripe around the body, and also sometimes you see green ford badges
Whats that all about?

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Looks nice, but they arn't euro ones, they are uk lights that somebody has sprayed the indicator parts darker
reverse lights are on the o/s on the euro spec ones, there are some uk ones around but they are ultra rare, iirc under 5 pairs in the country

I used to pay 75 quid for good year tyres for my escort cossie wheels which were on my old sierra. The tyre size was 215/40/16 though. I think it looks ok with the standard wheels on.

whats the story with the Evo and cossie?
Also if you like the cossie wheels but dont want to pay 70-90 per corner for a decent tyre how about mondeo 16's?
They look great if lowered correctly

Story with Evo and Cossie is the Cossie went for a setup after a full rebuild and engine let go on rollers
so breaking that for sparesBought evo to replace the Cossie but after realising
1. how slow it is
2. how much they are to maintain and repair
3. the previous damage it had sustained had most definitely not been repaired properly ( was not something visible at time of buying the car)
decided it would be best off in bits so can get another Cossie
so weve got the remainders of the Cossie in the back garden at Lees parents and the Evo on her driveway

Fiesta RST's came from the factory with the green bumper / door moulding stripes, ERST's had black bumper piping, XR's had black or red piping depending on body colour..
