My bro's girlfriend is picking one up on Saturday. Sounds quite nice with half leather and Air con.

Anybody know much about these? What can we do to it to get a bit more from it. Nothing daft but she wants to get the most from the money spent

In advance for responses

ive had one for three years now

respond well to usual filter n zorst, a unichip really opens em up. but like all zetecs they respond to head and cams altho with the 1.8 the preffered method is with the older 130 spec cams as they have a bit more low down over the kents

anymore info matey check out... http://www.escortgti.com

Steve,

I had one for three years before the Cossie



Did exhaust, air filter, 130 throttle body, and then decided it was far too slow - sold it and bought the cossie.

Loved the car though - get her to speak to Rob about an exhaust and filter - they're not as expensive as you'd think for that car..............
