*Project Car* XR2i into Track Beast!

[E11OOT]

Still got the 182:rasp: (just to clear that up straight away)

Bought a 1990 fiesta XR2i 64k on the clock, MOT, TAX, good condition etc. £420.

Plans are to turn it into a track day car, i'm sharing it with a friend.

Initial Pics.....already lowered 55mm on PI springs!

Will keep you updated!

Nice one

That looks very tidy for an XR2i. You don't see many about now a days.

What sort of power to weight are these?

I guess they don't weight more than a 1000kgs?

Doesn't look to bad for £420.

Throw the pi's in the bin, unless you like understeer.

Good luck, good car underneath all the tart.

That looks pretty clean, whats the petrol car area like ?? As they always seem to rust up round there.

Are you going to keep the standard engine in it ??

petrol cap area is rusted as usual going to a mates body shop to get it plated and welded. Will keep the standard engine just sourcing some throttle bodies at the moment!
