what are these like for acceleration?

would rather have a 1.6 sport lowered, speedlines/softstars and exhaust than a mk5 fiesta zetec s.

are they about the same speed to legal speed limits compared with the fiesta?

theres a nice black one in classifieds going for 1250, tempted!

how much do you want to spend on a car? i take it your selling the focus and getting something cheaper

reason i am asking have you thought about a corsa c 1.8sri? as they are newer than the corsa b's

April 08 feature car

Buy Mikes GSI for 1500?

A much better looking car to start with, not much more money either.

really wouldn't spend more than 2k on a mk5 zetec s and more than 1200 on a corsa i suppose.

just need to free up cash and just want something that doesn't do 18mpg

Not really, a good polish/wax a few times a month and a wash or 2 a week and it will be fine. It's a good example aswell, for an extra £250 that is what I'd be looking at.

ok so the corsa c is out of the window then, i was thinking mk5 was 1 of the newer fiesta just looked and thats the mk6 thats why i was getting mixed up

yeah the mk5 is the one before the shape i had fiesta.

my brother has a corsa c and i'm not too sure of it. it's only a 1.2 16v though so probably why.

danny, just looked as his advert and it does look a nice example. only thing is i hate the gsi interior

and i thought GSI engines were C16XE rather than the later X16XE's?

I think they are about the same in straight line terms. But get a £140 inlet for it and the difference is mental!

And GSi's came with both X and C16XE's, the former being on late models

oh right, that clears that up then. i don't know much about the fiestas which is why i'd go for the corsa.

im sure the corsa is abit quicker standard, but as said an inlet makes a massive difference.

edit - only thing with the fiesta's is noisy engine's and rust tbh

I don't really like all the modern stuff tbh. hate the traction control on my car so i turn it off every time I drive it, even in heavy rain.

and 1.8 c's are out of my price range really, although they seem nice, just prefer the drive of the B and the looks too.

the 1.6 is quicker than a zetec-s, looks alot nicer with a couple of mods like you have mentioned. you have some good features in them too. a/c, e/w, h/m, e/m
so its not bad really.

1.6 sports are quicker but zs's handle better.

I can vouch for this first hand from owning both and my gf owning a mk5 zs aswell.

i did like my sport but rations were all for low down power, once you hit and indcated 115mph it was like hiting a brick wall

i don't really go past 100 anyway. only ever done it a few times in the focus, too risky.
