Default Mk1 fiesta xr2

Bought as a rolling she'll about 5 years ago, it's never finished Tho as I keep changing the spec

Anyway I'll pop a some pics up of its progress and then keep this updated.

This is how it arrived from Blackpool, bought it without seeing it.






Decided to go with a1.8zvh turbo.



Will get some up to date pics up shortly.

The tank and fitting for the front breather is from torques mate. Bought a breather blanking plate of eBay and fitted the 90° barbed fitting in it. I also have the rear block breather.

I have top outlets to rocker and front breather and bottom outlet to the rear block breather.

Can sort you some pics if want Tho.

Stunning car m8. Amparo blue is a stunning colour,had an x plate escort in this and it was polished to within an inch of its life and was always gleaming.

Will be keeping an eye on this. What's the rest of the spec of the car?

It has only been mapped at 3psi at the min and made 187HP with 200lb-ft.

Will be going for a t34.55 over winter and mapped for high boost now it's got some miles on the motor.
