, I've done a bit more to mine now, I should update my thread, love the mini light style wheels, I was thinking of going for them but 14 inch, or using ford ka3 mini light style, be sweet motor when done.

m4tt274 · 31-05-2010, 03:47 PM

the seats i think look good.
you should put a link to your resto under your sig so i can have a look.
the wheels are genuine minilites and im just waiting for some wheelnuts in the post from speedshack (y)
i was going to go for 14's but i heard alot of people say they dont drive well on them and i know they knock the speedo out 8% or something. then i got offerd these 13's for 120 quid with tyres so went for them

eedwin · 31-05-2010, 03:56 PM

Cheap set of wheels then mate, I upload more pics and sort link out, I'm running s1 turbo box. which is surposed to be run on 15 inch wheels, so be bit out, but be further out on 13s. still toying with the idea to sell her.

m4tt274 · 05-06-2010, 12:46 PM

what engine are you running then to have an Rst gearbox??

the car is now on the ground and running well. took it for a quick buzz round the estate and it all feel ok, but the brakes are naff

yet to put the xr2 arches on, new number plates, and adjust the handbrake then MOT time

TOMMY_RS · 05-06-2010, 12:53 PM

looking good mate.
can't wait to go for a spin in this, i start driving in less than a month

jonny s2 · 06-06-2010, 03:29 PM

looks the dangalies mate, will look good with xr2 arches but just look how cool and clean it looks without them, personally id leave them off

m4tt274 · 06-06-2010, 03:58 PM

i know i prefer it without them aswel tbh, but the wheels stick out slighly from the arches so i need them for mot

Glenn. · 06-06-2010, 04:59 PM

I wouldnt bother putting the XR2 arches on it looks good as it is fella.

m4tt274 · 09-06-2010, 02:34 PM

i have to as the wheels will fail it on its mot and my standard wheelshave perished tyres.

RAPID 3DR · 09-06-2010, 11:40 PM

fook me thats mint,nice job mate

whats the plan with the white p100?

sparkys2turbo · 11-06-2010, 09:21 AM

looking good mate, enjoying the driving? I've got a 1900cc tall block cvh. lightend and balanced bottom end, ported and ported big valve head, big cam, soild lifters, double valve springs, twin 45s, using s1 rst box for the lsd, s1 bit tighter then s2 but lose a bit of top end speed, still do 135 140mph which is still plenty for little fiesta.

m4tt274 · 11-06-2010, 11:32 AM

that sounds like mental little mk1 lol, get some pics up of it.
but yeah i can imagine that would be enough. scary enough doing 90 in this one let alone 130 :O

the white p100 is just something weve had sitting around for a while. the shells in good condition and my dad had a recon engine and box put in it so he dint want to sell it. i figured to keep it and use it for spares for the loud p100 until i can save up and build another lairy project

mk1max · 18-06-2010, 12:00 AM

beauty ;p i helped build this

CRAIG HAYTER · 18-06-2010, 12:04 AM

Have a word over on www.xrtwo.com about the height

Brian

stevo123 · 21-06-2010, 11:49 AM

Love it. What a great job you have done. Reminds me of my college days, couple of lads had Mk1 1.1 fizzies. The engines are really tough and seemed to rev for ever!

Keep it up mate, it looks superb.

m4tt274 · 21-06-2010, 10:08 PM

cheers mate, the engines do rev hard :P but

its not a cossy

lol
abit slow :/

ROADWARS · 21-06-2010, 10:15 PM

looks very well top work

m4tt274 · 23-06-2010, 10:51 PM

got my forum sticker put on the back window today and gave it a proper buffing with a rotary polisher, it looks like a differant car!! such an improvement.

then a mate came round in his xr2. Its running around 180 bhp and it sounds properly awsome, runs really lumpy low down because of itsrace cam. loved it.
