Well guys, it's been a long time, and alots happened to the little XR2.

After that bottom end giving way and being replaced it was never the same, the bottom end that went into it was turd and after about a month that let go too (the Friday before the Fast Ford day at Crail) so I changed the bottom end to an extremely sweet EFi block and got it running on the Saturday, but then it started snapping HT leads for fun, and then decided it didn't want to run. Changed the dizzy, coil, leads and it still wouldn't run, so got peed off with it, and put it off the road mid October (it was going off the road at the end of October anyway)

And it's been sat there since.

But now I'm finally doing what I've been planning since I bought the car and all the purists can bugger off as it's my car, and what fun is having a standard car?

But anyway, the car is getting this spec (And 99% of this is bought, awaiting delivery)

2.0 16v Zetec (Silver Top)
Weber Alpha 45 Throttle Bodies
Weber Alpha Cams
Weber Alpha Engine & Ignition Management
Vernier Pulley's
Ashley 4 Branch & System
5 bar fuel pump
S1 RST LSD G'box
Powerflex Polyurethane Bushes all round

Ferodo DS2000 Pads
Tar.Ox Monza Grooved & Drilled Discs
Goodridge Braided Brake Hoses
Dot 5.1 Fluid

Weber Alpha state that this spec will give 185bhp on a 2.0 Zetec with standard manifold and CAT's, but since it's not a brand new engine I'm using it will have lost power over time, but I will regain some with the 4 branch manifold and the fact I don't have any CAT's. So IU reckon it should be around 180bhp at the fly, any more and I'll be extremely happy.
