    Spec of the escort:

    RS2000 I4 chain driven engine converted to 2.3L using a galaxy 2.3L block
    RS2000 Head ported and polished with 3 angle seats
    Piper 285 fast road cams
    Weber 45 throttle bodies
    Weber alpha engine management
    Group N exhaust manifold
    208BHP @ 6800RPM, 182lb/ft torque @ 5700RPM

    It was super fast but it just cost me too much money on fuel, repairs and obviously that work wasnt cheap so it was time to sell.

    Nice, bet that shifted a bit...bit of a sleeper too. What do you think to the williams?

    I have to honestly say the williams is nowhere near as quick, I didnt expect it to be, the RS had so much torque it was hard to beat with a N/A engine.
    Having said that its only been a week and im falling in love with the Clio, its great to drive, you have to rev it to get the power out of it but its not slow by any stretch of the imagination. I have also managed to do 150miles on less than half a tank of petrol which is probably what I would have got at most from the RS on a full tank!!

    I think iv made the right choice and I dont see any need to do anything to the Williams apart from the exhaust. When I got the RS as standard is we disappointing and not worthy of the RS badge so I felt I had to do something with it but everything from engine to suspension and brakes is done for you and Im very happy!!

    You had probably used the upper portion of the fuel tank. Heh, the fuel gauge runs out very fast on the bottom half.
