Been a bloody long time since i posted, not sure if the hatred for orions is still there, haha But ive been driving them since I passed my test in 01, and still love em to bits to this day!even though ive had 4 cossies, always come back to a orion.
Anyways, heres my baby, started life a 1.6GL, 38K miles from new and 1 owner.
Now running a RS2000 converted to 2.3, full custom stainless and few odd and sods,full adjustable spax, ghia interior, recaros trimmed in ghia cloth, loads more stuff,any ways, heres a few pics.
























the RS engine is just epic, goes like hell and just sounds the absolute nuts!
anyways, all comments are welcome, also different wheels, as I want to change for next year

 

You've had that a while haven't you mate?

 

yes mate, longest one yet!had year out last year, so enjoyed it to the max this year

 

looks awesome whats the rs2000 lump like compared to the zetec it replaced?

 

Very cool car and under rated engine

 

Very nice mate,got a 2.3 in mine,sounds nuts with a decat!

 

I like that! Old school cool!

 

This is an impressive conversion. I've plenty of time for the onion, I've had 3 but I'll put this out there........I really don't like the rs kitted ones. Yours looks really tidy I just can't get behind them, hard car to do much different with too.

 

Very nice

Glad you still have this Orion. The engine just looks so factory fitted.

 

Wheel change and....

A supercharger would finish that of perfect imop.

Lovely motor that

 

Really nice Orion mate

 

always been a fan of these since the days everyone dropped a RST engine in them

 

Me too had a mk1 ghia and a mk2 with venoms

shit now im showing my age.

Just thinking the look of that has just taken me back to the early 90's love it fo cool factor hate it for making me feel old lol

 

cheers for the good comments peeps, the kit is marmite, I debated putting it on, but im glad I did,I love it!I did think about super charging it, but sadly, no space to do it easily and neatly
