Hello to you all guys!
I have been a member for a while and i have read many interesting things about the beloved FRS.I am not an owner yet but i have been looking for one and there are some questions that i would like to ask you.
I have decided to look for a standard one and keep it like that just as Mr Ford intended to,my main concern is if i am going to have any heating problems with standard boost-turbo etc.The heating problems and blowing gaskets are much of a problem for a standard FRS?Is there anything i can upgrade such as the radiator or the chargecooler??Maybe a lower thermostat (82c) i think if i am not wrong,bigger fans or i have read that you may can change the position of the fans.
Another question i would like to ask you all is how laggy (is this the correct word?) becomes the FRS if i change the chargecooler--->front mount intercooler for better cooling.
And some last questions regarding the alternatives in case of ordinary maintenance.I always try to use original parts but sometimes the cost is 2 high.I have read that the water pump is very expensive,the clutch also (AP RACING),the engine mounts must be expensive i think (common problem i have read),are there any alternatives for all these stuff???Is there anything that must be bought only from FORD because there is no other option (not bodywork and stuff obviously)????
Thank you in advance for your answers guys and excuse me in case of bad spelling or any abuse of the english language!
