If it's from an original carb XR3 with a four speed then it is probably a different length to the one you have. I wouldn't bid on it unless you can check the exact measurements

Its unlikely to fit anyway as all S2's left the factory with ABS.

id keep away from mk3 parts, but you can fit eny mk4 drive shafts. my s2 turbo is running a dieasle gear box and xr3i abs drive shafts, and the abs has been taken off the turbo.

not ANY mk4 shafts, they have to have ABS inner CV joints and its actually quite a rarity to find ABS cars i find!
