The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.
The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.
The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.
Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.
The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts

The redtops were a good example. But plenty of others. Pretty much any new design from the late 80s was in that ball park.I seemed to remember bro's MkII GTI being 140bhp from a 1,8. Even a 1.8 K series was north of 140bhp in standard trim, though the 1.8s came a bit later. Honda too were producing stuff getting close to 100bhp per litre from a NA motor in the first part of the 90s.By most, you mean the Cavalier, Early 90's perhaps with the shift away from K Jetronic injection and carbs.By the late 80s, most 2l petrols were getting thereabouts. Thats 35yrs ago nowAnd to think it wasn't all that long ago that 150bhp was considered to be pretty decent.picks its heels up when asked.All things are relative. I consider 150bhp to be a sluggish dog . Maybe when I'm (even) older.... Same bro had an RS Turbo in the mid 80s, that couldn't have been far off 140bhp from a 1.6 judging by the speed he had to go to court over , but thats forced induction so doesn't count |

There's a kebab joke in there somewhere. He is a Christian man. No idea why he had a Muslim send off. |

A central locking motor delete and retro fit a mechanical passenger door lock could future proof it...

My passenger door central locking gave up a few weeks ago.Now suddenly it is working ok any ideas I should be so luckyFear not, it will play up again soon, until you fix it. They usually start out intermittent, then eventually get to the point they properly screw your over, esp if its the driver's door one. I'd refrain from dead-locking it, and also ensuring that the key works smoothly in the lock. |
