Hi Rich,

From my experience the best first option to go for is the sierra 1.8cvh, easy to fit and easy IVA tests (emissions) with decent performance. Then when you're bored with the cvh upgrade to the 2.0l Zetec, you can get a brand new one for £700 then its an easy swap for the CVH, many of the cvh parts (sump, exhaust and gasket, starter motor, trigger wheel, clutch, engine mounts) put in bike carbs with megajolt, get the carb balanced professionally and you'll have a flying machine.

Took my Dad out the other night in my own car, he used to have some big motorbikes and be a co-driver in some top rally cars and he PAPPED his pants.......

Have fun...AndyH
