R2 2000 2.0 zetec 16v it looks shiny, the story sounds good, 90k.

zetec slightly cheaper, less miles.

is there any real difference?

Yeah the RS2000 is just a 16v version of the dohc, so i would expect what tuning bits you could get to be few and far between, and expensive.

You will need to make every thing for the Rs. Its heavier than the Ze

That said if you can re wire the loom you will get 150Bhp and a very cheep instal.

Tuning wise you can chuck money at a ze all day long. For the Rs a superchip and filter is your lot.

With the Rs they are now using the bottom end from a 2.3 scorpio / galaxy and getting a strong 180bhp. Bits for a rebuild are MEGA dear.
