my rs1800 fiesta is my daily driver , i do about 20 miles a day and then go out to my mates etc . i can do upto 1000 miles a month sometimes but the car has a full service every 3/4000 miles and is maintained regardless of cost . fookin thing cost me about £8000 over the last 2 years and has just come back from the sprayshop.
the only bad point is petrol as i use about £40 a week as i like to show the new sri astra boys how fast a 15 year old ford is
you can do it mate , just remember if its a run about then its a run about!

I've been driving mine every day for the past 6 years lucky for me work is only about a mile or 2 max from home never really had a problem with the car only once and a while as long it's been well maintained and then sometimes I use the car for some evenings or I get picked up by my mates at times I do try and keep the miles down and try not to drive it in the rain so it can be done.

i had an ex fast ford feature car,orange rs turbo.used it everyday for a year.no problems at all.
and my s2 in my sig was used pretty much every day aswell.(taken deposit on it now so i dont use it)
i always check oil and water every 2 days,and even if i give it the odd blast,i dont hold it to the red line,just drive it sensibly.look after it and it will look after u.

BigJim19

If you're going to use an RST daily, bin the MFi and convert it to EFi.

SHould be fine with that stupid bosch crap in the bin

I use mine every day too. 1.8 ZVH, and when it was a 1.6 too. Had loads of problems :CRy: was my fault tho! They are decent run arounds, just make sure you add a decent long run every so often

rickbartlett

put a switch on it if your worried,that way u can flick fan on in traffic.but leave all original wiring so it comes on on its own aswell.
