I am going to have a look at what it will cost to go stage 3 on the T3, am i rite in thinking that i will need injectors, 3 bar, actuator and chip? recommendations?

also i always thought that if you were on a T3 it was stage 2 and stage 3 on a t34, prosumably i am wrong here.

aye up lozi, you have opened up a can of worms here pal.lol Im on my 4 rst, my bro has had a stage 1 saph and he now has a 2005 sti wrx with 305bhp prodrive pack, but his favorite car is his escort mk1 rs2000. Ive been insured on all these and I must say the scooby is the fastest but thats it. the fords just seem to have loads of character, i love the rear wheel drive aspect of the cossie and i know its sad, i love the look of saphs. But for me the fiesta rs turbo is a cracking car, yes it has a week gearbox and no power steering and brakes which are there but you would swear they wearnt. I love them because I can do pretty much all the work myself for peanuts, really fun to work on and i dont think they are unreliable, they are as reliable as the way they were built. Have a drive in a few fettled ones to see what you think, i wanted a cossie after my last rst but i knew a couldnt afford one. One day i may be able to afford having one on my drive

Get what YOU want, and what appeals to YOU, that's all that matters.
Who gives a toss about what is technically better built, or what other people say you should have. Wouldn't we all be driving Audis and Beemers if that was the case?



Ahh wait a sec, half of PF already do
