The age old zetec 2.0 v zetec se 1.7 debate.
Don't do it ! is what you see on the net ,the extra weight will ruin the handling, which is a fair comment.
So... zetec se is quoted at approx 81 kg and the 2.0 Blacktop Zetec is approx 100 kg, which you may have calculated already is 19 kg extra over the front wheels.
Strip the air con pump out 5kg?, air con rad 3kg? , shift the 5 kg battery into the boot, chuck the strut top weights (as I already have) 1kg each and you are nearly there.
I love the racing spec 1.7 engine , its just that Ive got another puma, a ST170 engine, spare gearbox to use internals out of and more than anything else im BORED
