you got to understamd its a 17 year old car so things go wrong or play up be prepared!
what mods you got in mind?????????
yeah the valve stem seals were done before i bought it, so thats 1 less thing.
im just guna whack on an exhaust, D/V, and induction till i got the cash together for a full on rebuild.
i duno bout specs but im aimin for 250bhpish in a proper rebuild eventually duno if that sounds abit optimistic like lol.
my dad has an american 1.9 tall block cvh sittin around which i wudnt mind stealin to use in a rebuild but i think he has designs on usin it in his N/A escort xr3i. BORING NO TURBO!!
for the time being tho im more realisticly prolly guan jus recon the engine n go stage 1 n get all sillicon hoses coz sum ov them r bound to be fucke d by now until i got the cash to do it all proply n get forged pistons n rods n different management too.
