Thats what it says in the advert. Unsure what BHP it would be giving out. My mate said thats as far as he would take it if you where using it every day, just to be on the safe side

Its easy enough to say do it, but with your own money would you really?

Personally I wouldn't. Its as old as the hills and for only a few miles drive a day, is there much point?

To track from time to time, definately, but otherwise not for me.

It would be used everyday, and probably given a good run on a weekend. Would even attempt a few RWYB days and possably track days if i got the chance.

Fair enough the Sierra will be quick and still a "cossie" but its still a wank old ford sierra, the saphire cossies aren't exactly cream of the crop are they.

I imagine you could get a newer better car for what you would be paying for the sierra.

Know the lad you mean, mike, he currently has a mint rs500. Aparantly the black one you are on about has been stripped and sold on, And the engine was going into an escore the last i heared,


I saw him in the rs500 a while back, he was behind me at the lights at the bottom of Prescot Road, we was both turning back up Borough Road and as I pulled away all I heard was screeching tyres, looked in my mirror to see him coming up behind me sideways

Go for it! I've got a wee soft spot for the sapphies, definate council estate chic.

You could easily use this as a daily driver but personally i'd pick up a binner 1.2/ corsa fiesta etc... for the daily commute
