In need of a high powered duratec which is road friendly.

After a very good year with a silvertop 1800 zetec & experiencing all the westfield forum has to offer which include some excellent local meets organised by the lovely Julie from the peak & a cracking day out at a sprint track. Also a special thanks goes to Trev (trevturtle) for helping me so much with the car. He really is a credit to the forum.

After experiencing a ride in a s2000 on the sprint day i am now getting some big ideas & want a lot more power. So the time has come,do i pop a tuned blacktop in or sell & wait for the right car to come along which already tuned up ready for the track but still drive able to use on the road.

After some advise & a lot of thought we came to conclusion that it would be cheaper to sell & buy a different westy. I would love get a s2000 but the budget was a little bit more than i could stretch too. So after some advise from my local rolling road he said a duratec would suit what i was after.

So this morning i sold my silver top to lovely couple from stoke on trent. Sad times :( but its time to move on. So if theres a very well looked after duratec you know where i am?

Thanks Ben & Nat.

Hi Ben & Nat,

 

Cant help with a car, but make sure you don't rush into it - wait for the right car - it will come up - I waited 12 mths, but it was worth the wait!

 

Good hunting.

 

Cheers

How powerful Ben?

 

Youre welcome to take mine for a spin (low powered duratec ~190bhp and not very road friendly) to see if its quick enough.
