Re: My First XR2i - RST Bonnet
Ive just read the thread from start to finish. I love the way you have transformed it into what it is now. How does it go now with the new engine?

its quick, had it on rolling road not so long back, 145 BHP standard with cone filter and a broken exhaust.
the bonnet needs rubbing back a little but its better with the temps

Re: My First XR2i - RST Bonnet
well in the last month i managed to kill a gearbox, clutch, head gasket but all fixed now
got hold of a magnex system cheap, took me nearly a week to get back box and mid section apart
here it is, just needs fitting but weather stopped me,
out with the old
Maf, cheapo filter and duct tape
in with the new maf, propper K&N and breather pipe going to where it should be
managed to stretch the original rubber pipe over the maf, took some doing
Enjoy

Re: AW3K's 2.0L XR2i, stainless
its quieter than my standard system was, but when you hit 4k revs it growls at you,
it actually gives me an extra 20 miles to a tenner now with the k and n fitted

Re: AW3K's 2.0L XR2i, stainless
i've noy been around here for a while , so ill fill you in on whats been going on with my car.
rs2k discs and pads
braided lines, although the back ones will be useless
focus rear hubs and calipers
polly top and arb mounts
rosejointed lower arms,
moved the ball joint in 10mm to alter the camber on the front so the tires shouldnt wear as bad.
put normal bonnet on as paint on the rs one was very poor
thats about it for now
let me know what you think

I had 240mm brakes on my 2.0. They are fine. A 2.0 is only the same power as an rs1800, and they have 240mm brakes
