West of Scotland RSOC

Wee side project i'm doing, few of you might remember i was sellin a tidy red mk4 XR3i recently, and i told the boy to let me know if he was ever sellin it cos it was a cracking wee car, to cut a long story short he needed to sell it so I got it back last week.

Step 1, buy the car back






Step 2, get bored with cvh




Step 3, buy 130 spec 1800 zetec from mate and chuck it in





Planned to use XR box but had a bit of damage inside so now using a 5spd box from an Escort 1.3 Eclipse

Cant do much more the now cos the conversion plates I bought (cheers JPA) havent arrived yet - these mean i use the original inlet to make it a lot easier. Also waiting for the engine mount and 4-branch to be modded to suit zetec.

Hoping it'll go well with this setup - thinking about stripping rear seats and that out too

cheeRS

looks good bud...really clean car this......question though how come the exp bottle is on the pass side

looks straight as an arrow Rosco, nice one

all the best with it mate

looks cracking ross! should go well withthe zetec fitted.

NICE ONE ROSS,LOOKS LIKE THERES GOING TO BE A FEW OF THESE ABOUT ,I,VE GOT MY CONVERSION PLATES AND THEY LOOK LIKE THERE GOING TO MAKE LIFE ALOT EASYER,CAR LOOKS A MINTER ALSO ,GOOD LUCK WITH IT,WILL BE WATCHING THIS,KEEP THE PICS COMING,CHEERS IAN

you'll enjoy yours with the zetec mate, totally transforms the car

itchin for these plates to arrive

I THINK I,D ENJOY MINE WITH A MINI ENGINE FITTED JUST NOW ,YEAH I CANNY WAIT,MY PLATES HAVE BEEN SITTING ON TOP OF MY FRIDGE FOR THE LAST WEEK,IM JUST WAITING ON MY SUMP AN BITS,GOING TO BURST IT NEXT WEEKEND HOPEFULLY,I HOPE YOU GOT A GOOD DEAL ON THE CAR WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT PLANNED FOR IT THEN ROSS

got a great deal, the boy taxed it then sold it to me for £200 less than I sold it to him for

dunno mate, the plan was to do the conversion and enjoy it a bit then move it on but i'm thinkin of holding onto it now, the S2 will be for sale at end of summer but i reckon i will be able to afford to keep the 3i

well after waiting for ages for conversion plates, got it all together yesterday and she fired up first time

couldnt run it long cos only manifold on the now but main thing is she runs! Just to finish off water pipes and fit alternator now

NICE ONE ,KEEP US POSTED,GETS SOME MORE PICS UP

Nice one Ross, cant wait to see it out and about. Gets some more pics up

well there she is, thinkin about selling though to downsize my fleet! Just very small bits to finish off, exhaust blowing slightly, crossover pipe and a good run. She starts and runs good though

details in for sale section

Never spotted this before! Looks really cool! I'd keep it!

im the new owner got it home gave it a good polish, plans are just to fit my megasquirt, bike carbs or standard zetec management whatever i find first to get it running 100% then a good layer of waxoyl before winter
all pollished up

looks absolutely mint mate, well done

looks nice, well done

LOOKS MINT,WELL DONE

that looks mint mate! - bike carbs would do the trick!!

My mates looking for an XR3i, just thought about this but I see lots has happened since I last looked in!
