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
