wow that is an impressive figure, what happend to the 106 wheels you had on this?

[hb69]

yeah i did try the rallye steel on, but my brother sold the rallye just after, with the steels on so didnt have time to buy them off him. im thinking about some xr2i 16v or rs1800 alloys in black now

[AGAR]

Fantastic thread- don't know how ive missed this before.

What a difference the car now is - i'd be over the moon with that.

[clarks.2007]

Are you using the 1600si exhaust?? What bits have you done to the engine altogether then? Just a question to see how i can improve mine cheers scott.

[knuckles]

get a proper exhaust made up for it and then give it another go...

Your one is restricting air flow

[hb69]

AGAR- im pleased with how it is now. cant help but think it needs a rollcage though

jam2006- yes im using a standard 1.6 si exhaust, still with the cat on it i havent done anything to the engine aside from what ive listed on page 5. i dont know anything of the history of the engine, aside from that it came from a 1998 auto mondeo

clark- one day when money allows ill be after a magnex system

I never saw that Gulf cap!

[bakewell001]

I'm sure he found it halfway through the day

[Smo]

That really doesn't surprise me!

[hb69]

right, finally i have invested in some good condition blue stripes. as my car has been so desperately lacking these since ive owned it. cheers to fiestadave58 for sending me some straight unmarked stripes

anyways after spending about a day getting the old adhesive off the back, i used some industrial strength tape to reattach the stripes today. i took a couple of pics while the sun was still shining.

[bakewell001]

Oooo looks good.

I'm liking the blue harnesses too

[jayrs]

sweet as mate

[hb69]

due to unforseen circumstances it looks like ill be stripping this shell down and putting the 2.0 in something else

after all the hard work its gutting

[jayrs]

what have i missed why

[hb69]

ill fill you in with the details on msn mate

[Summer22]

It's very sad news hon

[fiend]

Really sucks to hear the news, without seeing your car I would have never stripped the rear of mine and put a strut brace in.

[jayrs]

ill fill you in with the details on msn mate

sorry i missed ya on msn mate, was watch dvds with the wife

[knuckles]

due to unforseen circumstances it looks like ill be stripping this shell down and putting the 2.0 in something else

haha, not quite that bad

i did an hpi check the other day and since then its thrown up a lot of questions about my cars colourful past, ill tell you about it in more detail on msn mate, but im seeing this as a chance to start with something new, and either get rid of the 2i as a whole or break it for parts im not sure yet.

[jayrs]

[hb69]

red mk2 xr2, you know its the right thing to do

[jayrs]

well it should be red i would make a comment about white here but under my sig, turboboys said it all, and thats a real quote!

[onslack]

gutting news sorry to hear it

[TIL13R]

dont think i have ever seen a white mk2 XR

[Ollybee]

What a arse mate. Do you want to sell the engine?

[jayrs]

well it should be red i would make a comment about white here but under my sig, turboboys said it all, and thats a real quote!

dont think i have ever seen a white mk2 XR

the white mk2 xr2s do look nice, its nice how the black body kits break it up

first one was my first XR2 (very first car)


this one was my second car, and second xr2



and a white xr2 pic i had on my pc


come on henry, your turn to post pic up of ya xr2

[hb69]

cheers everyone

ollybee- i might, id probably rather sell the car as a whole to get rid of it, i havent decided yet though

jay- its not an xr2 im probably getting, its just a base spec mk2 1.1. main reason for wanting it is that its pretty much rust free all over, and has lots of potential. that last xr2 you posted looks awesome

[jayrs]

it was on ebay ages ago, prob a yer or 2 now, and yeah it does look good, aprt from the badboy bonnet

a base mk2, mate if its clean its got to be had




mondeo rims even suit the mk2 too

[Tweek]

Best Mk2s I've seen so far are Chris' (Digita1dragon), Adz' and Beau's.

well over the last few days ive been to a few bodyshops and got them to assess the slight damage on the rear quarter, which was a result of a crash it apparantly had in 1998, it had been repaired but poorly, so 9 years on it was a bit worse for wear. today i took it to be welded properly and undersealed. i got it back this afternoon and am very happy with the result, i will be keeping the car now. i dont have any pictures of the work as its dark but ive got a stockpile of parts to fit to the car when i get a spare minute and ill take some pics then
