induction kit, down pipe, manifold, possibly modify the water and oil feeds and drains, and move the radiator to clear the actuator.

Really easy if you have everything there to do the job in one go - the hardest part of the conversion is making the downpipe and sourcing an Escort oil return bung for the block (used to be anyway).

I used a Collins actuator and it burst through the rad on the motorway when accelerating hard - you'll be fine on a standard style actuator - note i would upgrade the gearbox mounts just be on the safe side.

But it is the best mod you can do to a FRST by far.

it is an easy upgrade to do, it's all bolt on parts and simple mods
