but it pulls like train and this is what andrew-v4 was saying it took along time for him to catch me! :wink:
i am shure from past coments from owners of the rs20004x4 these were a slow car with about 150bhp and a engine that wasnt very tuneable,and heaps of problems with the gearbox or transferbox! a rover with with 200bhp turbo up its chuffer should eat it for dust! :wink:


Who said owt about rs2000 4x4's :? mines 2wd and will do the 1/4 the same as the rover 600ti


Yes ure right they are reasonably quick cars, I know I have owned 3 of them but they are pretty much untunable as standard blocks, thats why I bought a scubby (which is far more tuned) - and that did scare the shite out of me first few weeks.

I would say however I would have another rs2000 2wd any day, what a beuwtiful car in white they are....


at last some 1 who talks sence :lol:

If ya wana see my old mk5 rs2000 which was 185bhp+ read the features in performance ford jan 05 or the fast ford feature march 06 :wink:

and with that in mind that was wth the 2L block :wink:
