250+bhp N/A 2.1 Zetec 16v Orion, now gone, Audi S3 is here
Re: 250+bhp N/A 2.1 Zetec 16v Orion, Exhaust made !!
I saw your intentions on XRTwo.com - it's a shame, but I understand that it's turned into a money pit so it's best to stop before it gets far too much.
All the best with it mate, and I hope you get a decent amount of cash back from it

I would but there is a few things i'm worried about and one is.... RUST.. It looks mint in the picture but it isn't
The roof has got a few bubbles on it now from rusting inside out. I've done my best to repair most of the car but i don't see it lasting much longer and as i said i don't want to spend any more money on her.
I have had loads of offers on the engine alone at £7.5k and i reckon i will get about £4k+ for the rest of the bit so £11.5k on a newer car is better
I want a Audi S3 and you can pick one up for about £6k and i'll use some of the money left on tuning that and fitting lambo wheels etc etc

Re: 250+bhp N/A 2.1 Zetec 16v Orion, New Air box
I think the Audi S3 is a very good choice - A mate on here had a 210 model for a while with only a 265(ish) map, and it really was incredibly quick, with all the traction you could want, while still being an amazingly comfortable road car It's cars like that which, albeit unfortunately, can make someone very easily stop modding an old Ford for the sake of something so good straight out of the box It'll be sad to see your Orion being broken eventually, but the Audi is such a good car for the money

Re: 250+bhp N/A 2.1 Zetec 16v Orion, New Air box
I'm not 100% sure how low it is?
If you look at a 1.8 sump, there is the pic where the exhaust goes, well i would say 35mm lower than that?
My manifold was made for a Zetec with a 1.8 sump at the time and as you can see i had to cut and weld the dry sump for it so you can get a idea how low it is

Tried to fit the strut brace and that doesn't fit and also the heater blower motor
The Strut brace is a easy one as it only needs a notch cut out of it to clear the air box
The blower motor will be modified to fit also

Read the rest of the posts an you see the that the car will be broken next year for that reason, even thought its only surface rust on the under side and can be sorted but not going to bother as the life of the car will only be another year or so.
