Now 300+bhp and wet roads arent ever going to be the ideal setup, but still you can tell that this car is immense, really is a credit to tony who owns it and damo who did alot of the owrk, is mint and looked stunning, love the dash as well

this is a common facotr with RST
SVM286 from here has a 286bhp S2, and that does a gearbox in 3000 miles
ill find out, but SVM will be able to tell you whats the best setup is

exactly my idea,
i really fancy a series 1 RST, diamond cut 7 spokes in an immaculate condition cage etc!
But mk1 escort with a 200 bhp lump is my ultimate fantasy!!
jr - escort looks lush
