As title Myself and a mate were discussing this and i said that the xr would be better all round am i correct?

Standard Focus 5door

Xr2i : full s/s exhaust, lowered 50mm on 13's, K+N,

What would be better overall and also,

Acceleration?

Handling?

Top Speed?

Please Discuss!

Many Thanks

The Focus has a very good chassis and would surprise you I think. Straight line acceleration the little Fez would come home first. Everything else I would put my cash on the Focus.

I loved our old CVH 2i (RIP ) it went nicely with a 135bhp engine build but used to struggle against our mates VTS Saxo.

 

ummmm might be time for a few other mods then!

what was done to yours to make it 135bhp?

 

no shame it that - my frst at 186bhp used to struggle against VTS'!

straight line speed i was always catching but bloody hell those things can handle well!

my money is on the focus for the same reasons!

 

A ported and polished cylinder head with a few tweeks (standard valve sizes). Piper cam kit with vernier pulley, Superchip. uprated fuel pump (long story ), Ashley exhaust manifold mated to a custom built stainless steel exhaus and the obligatory K&N cone filter. There was a 1900cc or a ZVH engine build on the cards but unfortunately a twat in a BMW drove into the back of it and destroyed it last June.

Car has been put back on the road since and is in Stevenage but it is a shadow of its formerself. Truely gutting when I see it crab up the road

 

news cars come out of the factroy tweaked a fair bit more now than they used to.
You've got weight on your side, but not technology.
Best thing to do is go for a nice drive about about 3 in the morning and see what happens.

I aint recomending you break speed limits or anything as thet would be wrong, but when its dark you sometimes miss the signs dont ya

 

its going to be on a private road!

 

cany go wrong then, take it to the street!!
