300 i whent for 7 as the wheels n tires are soo small iv seen a few mk 2s runnin 175/55/13 with seven inch rear springs iv even seen them shorter they seem to sit just right . if not i have some 8" aswell

[Ratspeed]

Ahh right. Its just i know of someone who had 8 inch on there xr2 and fully wound up only just sat right.
On the mk1 i had to get 10 inch springs just to get the arch off the tyre

[rs-tom]

[lachojski2005]

the car is looking awesome,and those wheels set it off a treat i think you made the right choice. quick question how hard is it to do the wrapping on the bonnet?

[Michael!]

this is literally car pawn.
although i got think the bonnet would look better red

[jayrs]

my bad mate.

[Ratspeed]

That looks the funlumps!
Camber on the front looks awesome too

[rs-tom]

Cheers mate

[rs-tom]

done a bit this weekend . getting bit cold in the garage now

removed the zaust manifold to weld the lamba in so hopefully she will be runnin better soon

wired in the gauges and plumed the oil pressure senser just have to weld the water temp sender boss in

made a really good job of the gauges all soldered n heat shrinked and theres just 2 plugs and u can remove the whole lot









made up 2 brace bars for the mondeo servo these have made a big difference i stamp on the break and the servo does not move this should improve brake feel .

top one






bottom one






also knocked up some floor mats for the footwells out of 2mm chequerplate
used heavy duty velcro to attach them to the floor so easy to remove to clean ect




thats all for now....

[rsonblackwheels]

awesome, looks soo cool

nice choice of wheel

keep up the good work

[rs-tom]

Cheeeeeeeers mate

[rs-tom]

Thanks mate

[rs-tom]

Bit of an update nothing major accept passing it's mot no advisories

Iv done s**t loads but dont really have any pics

Found n fitted front screen
P clipped fuel lines
Got all electrics working everything works now
Made a cover for the hole in the back for the fuel pump
fitted tow strap
Adjusted mondy servo so pedals sit at propper hight now
Welded boss in magnex manifold for lamba
Gave the manifold a light polish
Cut the first silencer out of my magnex and replace it with pipe ( I did this for clearance purposes now my zaust ain't so low to the floor


Polished my tail pipe looks loads better was s**t up

Then had the tracking done and mot













Brought all new drainage plugs looks lot better plus I'd broken most of the originals




Ready for mot





Next thing is clutch release bearing as it's loud as feck n a bit of driving:-)

[jayrs]

[jonyb4]

looking awesome mate!

loved the brake servo bracing and the foot plates

[b0yracer]

just read through this project/build, cracking job youve made of it

[rs-tom]

Cheers mate it's nothing ground breaking but it's mine

[jonyb4]

have you heppened to pop it on the rollers

be nice to see what its pushing out

[rs-tom]

Nah mate it's not that quick it ain't as quick as my standard frst . I think it's struggling to breath feels like its holding back

[jonyb4]

hmm sensor to fault maybe?


its got the recipe to keep up with a standard RST, the 4 branch should free it up big time


the air intake temp sensor seems to play havok when they go wrong, Bic™ to replace though

[Michael!]

Said before, ill say again


Car pawn.

[rs-tom]

Update time

Right. Since mot iv did about 100 miles in 2 days the car was all good apart from the clutch

The release bearing was so noisy . I was pretty pissed off cuz I fitted a new clutch but forgot all about the bearing . Anyway I
Thought stuff it removed the box at the weekend and while it was off I sorced an LSD box and some vibratechnic mounts . Refitted all
Today done 40 miles all seems good . The box Seems a little noisy in 5th though

Anyway here s a few pics from my journey today























That's it for now I love the way it drives the brakes are really really good on the road

Next I need some kinda sunstrip as the sun can be a pain

[black2]

Utterly sexy, I love this car.

Makes my mk2 look like a complete shed!

Gareth.

[jayrs]

makes me wanna sling clarks car out the main workshop and get the xr2 in there!

[jonyb4]

LOL



stunning mate, very well put together, personally though can i recommend spacing the back wheels? just to even out the look
shall make it feel more sturdy at speeds

[jayrs]

jony, he wont need to, you will be shocked how well these handle even on std stuff!
