I think my rs is a awesome looking car, most rs's are imo. I could go beiges and next chip but that wud mean saving another 4/500. Then i'd still get RS reliability probs, i've not had a single fortnight where nothing has gone wrong yet!

to be honest... if youre worried or annoyed at the bills an rs turbo brings home when it plays up, i wouldnt even bother touching a cheap performance rwd or 4wd car, the bills will be a lot dearer.

keep the rs and chip it with the beige injectors like you already said... looks and sounds like a cracking car to me

Out of all of the formentioned cars, which is going to be generally the cheapest to insure? Don't really mind fuel bills, but huge insurance bills will hurt!

Only 10psi due to fuelling of the blue injectors. WIth beiges and bigger chip this is easily 200+bhp.

I should hope it doesn't. It doesn't break down weekly lol, just silly things taht you expect to happen with an 1989 Ford! To be honest, mechanically the car is running better than ever and is so smooth, just have niggles such as battery light on and needing a new washer pump, but as I say in the for sale thread i'm sorting these out before sale.
