well the xr2i is well slightly rusty now, an i still have my run around 1.1mk3 fiesta sat about...
sooo i was thinking maybe time to strip the xr of parts an move them over?

good idea or a bad one people?

 

Well if the 2i is completelty shot then do it but if theres a chance it can be saved id repair it mate !!

 

why spend money on a xr2i thats worth a fart ? then again why spend the time and effort making a slow car into a moderatly slow car, lets face it your hardly going to catch many performance cars out in a 90bhp fiesta are you

 

the engine isnt standard... turbo, piper cam, cnc head

 

fair does then it might be worth doing if its got some decent power say 200 ish?

Stick some 15" steelies on lower it a little bit and away you go

 

bout 200ish i believe i did have the graph wen i got the car but lost it somewhere lol, was thinking banded steels prob bout 8j

 

banded steels are illegal and can be dangerous

 

not if you get theme done properly

place called wide wheels or something they get them tested and certified

 

why are they illegal?

sorry for thread jacking

 

as above? surely if made correctly they are safe?

 

banded steels are cool!

 

I would do it but make the fiesta look standard and have some fun in it upsetting people.

 

15" mondeo steels with spacers, 195/50/15s, 2.0, cams , arp bolts chip

 

in fact, what are banded steels and why are they illegal?

 

relatively speaking 2 steel wheels welded together, I don't think I have to tell you why they could be dangerous

 

ow thanks for that ,

my uncle did this to his car back in the day...and they used to slowely go down cos the welding was wank

 

thats wat i wanna go for, any suspension mods? wat do the steelys handle like, i heard the flex alot? wat size spacers it running?

 

hopefully thats what my ratty looking xr2i will be doing very soon lmao
