Just seen this on www.xrtwo.com






Not something i've seen before.

 

thats cool, must understeer like a fucker though

 

there is a transverse yb in next months performance ford in a mk5 van

 

f**king quality though

 

beat me to it

 

ha ha lol

 

that must be absolutely mental, but he must struggle to get the power down, what gearbox he mounted to that????

excellent craftsmanship though

 

struggle to get the power down and round a corner i'd imagine,

good one for doing it though, always wondered what one would look like.

Different

 

Fair one for doing it. I cant help but think a Zetec turbo would have been so much better. Then i suppose he couldnt say he had a Fiesta Cossie.

 

IMO, cossies only suit/should only be RWD or 4x4. FWD cossie engines dont look right.

 

Al it needs now is some Evo running gear and you have yourself a really serious car.

Loosk tidy though and I have no doubts that it wont hang about

 

Dont see the point, If it was driven in reverse it would be fine....

 

you got any more pics mate?

 

THats an old one that AVA did

 

I think the fact that DJM made such a good job of their KA that its not such a bad thing to go for that layout using a YB.

As said just needs some Evo running gear and it would be insane.

Any more pics of his old black 4wd one ?

On the PF dvd it seemed to have a ton of clutch slip at the PF thrash but still went well considering

 

Dan@FastFord, No I dont mate sorry, im sure someone on here bought it not so long ago tho.

 

coworth ka

 

nice

 

I bet that XR2 is a proper weapon for acceleration, The look on peoples faces would be a picture when they get munched by it

 

My old 1 again

Seems to get more attention now than when i had the fookin thing

Drives crap,handles crap and imho a complete waste of money and engineering and couldnt even imagine it in an xr2. Mines had coilovers,polybushes etc etc and still didnt like corners only time it was good was rolling above 60mph and keeping it in 5th to get power down

 

I remember reading a mag feature on that years ago.. and the owner wanted to stay anonymous!
Was that yourself that owned it then?
Maybe that's why you didn't get any attention

 

LOL!

You lot are so funny.... 300bhp cossy in a fwd car is a waste.... 300bhp cvh RST is AMAZING

 

Haha good one

Nah waseant me m8 that was the guy that got it built m8 i bought it last year and posted it on here and hardly anyone bothered commenting lol but now its popping up here there and everywhere lol

Was fun surprising people on motorway etc and the odd run on a very warm day (for grip) but as said not a very good car otherwise tbh. My nova c20xe drives and handles alot better imo

 

Cossie lump is alot heavier to begin with but i see where your coming from

 

Kinda thought it would be like that myself. Bet the original owner paid a fortune too!

 

Cost him 10k to get engine in,custom mapped etc etc. Had hybrid turbo etc aswell so waseant completely standard either

 

Anyone got the contact details for the XR2 owner?

AWESOME Time to feature it...

 

Shit of a shovel comes to mind
