Frst or 6deg beam?
My 200 is going tomorrow night, which will leave me with enough cash to either buy a cheap FRST, as i bit of a project to entertain me; or, buy the cos a 6 degree rear beam.
problem is, i can't decide. i've got no actual use for another fiesta, apart from i'd like having another. but i also find it a little hard to justify another k thrown at the cos. would i really notice a difference? or would i have to make the front fully adjustable too?
any opinions would be grand

I'd go for the fiesta, probably not the best choice but who cares? I was in a similar situation last year, buy a gearbox for the saph or an rst off my mate. Went for the rst and it's been great fun although i'll regret it when my box goes tits up

I'd go with the cossie option, just concentrate on turning that into a monster, and a beam is a good start.

T3,.48 housing, 360 bearing and T34 comp wheel macined to fit, running 1.8bar.
boxes are cheap, mate. plus, a grand won't buy me anything that will be much better than std. I've done 30k in the car and never blown one yet

I am shocking for this, projects on the go, sell something instead of upgrading the car i should, get another car and that turns into a project........ not goood and gets expensive

Gives your more confidence, car doesn't wallow in bends and go into oversteer as much and off you do stick the arse out it goes forwards whilst being sideways.
That and a proper rear diff transforms the handling

Looks like that might be the best option, i reckon. at least once its bought, its done. another fiesta will be yet another can of worms opened, i suppose
I do mate, awesome car, that one. My first turbo car, only sold it because i got to the point where i would be losing money if i spent any more on it.
