Anyone drove one of these?

for a 1.8 GTi they are slow as sheep!

Thats all.

My old RS2000 was slow as well but pulled like a train while in gear

Easy solution would be to transplant an RS2000 top end with a galxy 2.3 bottom end. Instant 180bhp

i just bought a 3 door 1 the other day power band doesnt kick in till 4,000rpm
but i was told if you put the mondeo 2.0L cams and throttle body + ecu they can make 150bhp and you fit a power boost valve to get rid of the flat spot

i think they did them in 115 and 130 flavours,
either way...maybe a good runabout but theyre still a shit gti.

they're crap, totally gutless and rust like all escorts do, Had an R reg for a few weeks to sell for a friend and hated evey min of driving it, couldnt give it away, chucked it into the auctions in the end with no reserve lol.
