Cookie - My Zetec went like phook, lit the tyres on request, and although I never raced anyone in it, I know it would win. Not the cheapest though

I fitted a Dunnell Zetec to my Escort (now Sambo's) after a lot of consideration between Zetec, N/A Cos, BDA, XE and even Lotus Twincam. In the end, I chose the Zetec because it was the best package overall for what I wanted. It is very light, and had the best low down torque and very flat torque curve. Being a mainstream Ford motor, it was also very easy to get a hold of standard parts cheaply. It was however very far from the cheapest option, though I did mine a few years ago and maybe prices are ok now, I dont know. I think it might be easier to get higher bhp figures from an XE from your £1500 than a Zetec, but I have never owned an XE, so others will be able to advise you better here. Hope this helps!

Why would you want to know this Mr B?

Thats not rust, its character Your gf went weak at the knees when she tasted that fabulous and hideously expensive tea cake! Overcharged?? Im sure you got that car about £10k too cheaply! That poor guy probably had to sell his kidneys to pay his bills after you con'd him out of his lifes work
