I had a rs turbo at 19 then a rs2000 cossie rep at 20, although i loved the cossie rep it will never be the real thing and i have always missed my rs turbo

My insurance for rs turbo at 19 was 2.5k 3rd party fire n theft, thta was 9 years ago wud hate to know what it is now,lol

As your quite young you really dont need that much power at the moment, why dont you get one and do it up yourself..

How many years no claims have you got?

dont get either pal, no offence but at 19 and if you only have 2k to spend keep what youve got or get a little hatch, a rst will be a shed for that price and insurance is just stupid.

get a fezza xr2i or a mk4 escort that you can build into a rst gradually

Escos reps always look shit IMO as the originals are more sierra than escort so nothing looks right.

A zvh engine is no better than a well looked after/rebuilt cvh unit. My best advice would be to get someone who knows them inside out to go with you as 90% for sale will not be worth buying IMO. I have bought loads in the past and they are loads of fun but if you buy a shed you will have loads of heartache!
