An RST with 200bhp is a fast car, but in truth, there aren't that many around with a proper 200bhp.

Get rid of the MFi and get some decent managment for a proper 200bhp. Will be very quick and alot of fun.

TBH, the 200bhp is the last thing id be looking for out of a used RST.

Get one thats structurally sound and aint held together with snot and porridge and take it from there.

Like christian said, every used rst for sale these days "claims" to have 200bhp... you'll know if you drive a genuine one.

No need to ditch Kjet for 200bhp IMO

A 200 bhp rst is a quick fun car provided its all in good order and with sensible brake/suspension/ chassis mods

It is possible to get 200bhp on K-Jet. But eventually the metering head is going to fuck up and then bye bye pistons. After 9 RSTs, the only ones that were even remotely reliable were the 2 on non K-Jet managment The rest broke down pretty much every day

Well said......

The usual "195bhp conversion" is 90% about 175bhp......
