ART...
THE VTS AND 106 GTI ARE BASICALLY THE SAME CAR, SCOTT WILL BACK ME UP ON THIS BRAKE PADS, ENGINE COMPONENTS, INTERIOR PARTS, THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, INFACT LOOK AT THE EMBLEMS ON THE PARTS, THEY ALL ARE PRINTED WITH THE PEUGOET AND THE CITREON BADGES. UNDER THE BONNET THE VTS AND GTI ENGINE BAYS ARE IDENTICAL TOO.
YOUR CHOICE MATE

RS what fiesta or escort? just make sure you give them a good look over first as they are pushing on a bit age wise now, but find a mint one and you'll love itsmileys/smiley4.gif

your call deano
Dom, one of my mates is a ford head through and through he had a couple of escort turbos and now has a sierra cossie 4x4 running 330bhp. His last RS turbo was mint it was immaculate inside/out and underneath and was pretty fast though he had only done mild things to the engine

really depends on your insurance situation mate.. 3-4 grand can get u quite a bit in 2nd hand/used cars...
if u got a decent insurance record.. look at:-
nissan pulsar
nissan 300zx
mitsubishi fto
vw golf gti 2.0 or 1.8
mr2 gt
... its really up to you, just remember jap = expensive parts...german = expensive servicing.
if i were you tho id hang onto the vts and save up a bit more then try pick up a lower milage/better condition car.
