looking smart there. your car looks immaculate, unlike mine :cry:

by **Sphinx** on Mon Nov 21, 2005 1:51 am

Fair play, you've turned that around!
I thought it was tacky at 1st but you've made it looks nice and clean

by **heeman10** on Mon Nov 21, 2005 2:51 am

Good on you, it's looking a million times better already! I hope you're enjoying modifying it. It's all the small things like the dash, mirrors, seats, carpet etc that add up to make it a much nicer car. Good work

All i need is the dark coloured Recaro seats to finish the interior.

by **knuckles** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 1:08 pm

At last - i finally got my Rs bonnet resprayed.

I know the colour looks a little different , thats due to the paintwork on my car fading. Requires some serious T-cut.

I think im the only person ever to pay to have the ford line put back on the bonnet . . . :lol:

Also i know the bonnet needs adjusting from the huge gap on passenger side.

I'll help you rebuild it if you find me a nice one lol. I’ve found one in my area same color as yours but they guy is dreaming and wants a grand for it. I’ve said ill give him £700 if he removes the wheels etc and whatever he wants etc. It’s mint though apart from the tail gate a bit of rust around the wiper arm. And hey its only done 63,000 woooh

by **NeoMagic** on Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:22 pm

Infact bo**ox just swap the engine its easier and look out for a mint lump or a shed 2i with mint engine.

by **Badgerboy** on Tue Jan 03, 2006 11:35 am

Have you got an alarm yet? Just looking where its parked up from the photos, its looks prone to attack from chive baxtered.

by **knuckles** on Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:47 am

Thanks alot for all your posts

The clifford alarm will be the next thing on my list after i get this fitted.

I let you lot figure out what that is....

by **woodwardsbodyshop** on Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:50 am

i've got 2 xr2i's and only paid 177 altogether :bonkers:

by **knuckles** on Fri Jan 06, 2006 10:32 pm

Hi all.

Ive been quoted £85 to fit the kent camshaft and to sort the oil seals too, Dont know if thats good or what ? :-?

Should be fun once thats fitted :devil:

I have finally got round to sorting the rusty filler cap area on my xr2i but have chose to change it to the mk3.5 filler pannel with fuel flap.

Dont ask why but i think it looks better flush.

Mk3.5 on the left and Mk3 on the right.

by **mmorgan88** on Sat Jan 07, 2006 1:03 am

yeh i think i tlooks better flush to be honest and less prone to rusting as well

by **Badgerboy** on Sat Jan 07, 2006 2:32 am

Not as easy as just slapping the Mk3.5 panel on though, keep that in mind!

by **NeoMagic** on Sun Jan 08, 2006 1:30 am

I personally prefer mk 3 I am partial to a dimma fuel cap

by **knuckles** on Sun Jan 08, 2006 12:57 pm

Dont worry - I have looked into whats involved to change the fuel filler. Been to fords and ordered the new filler cap and flap with all inner wing attachments. £39.75 in total

ive been quoted £75 to fit and spray the mk3.5 filler pannel.

So im looking at £130. Which aint bad. :cry:

I cant believe nobody has mentioned the kent cam - doesnt anybody have a 2i with it in to give me a idea about what its like ???

by **Smo** on Sun Jan 08, 2006 1:45 pm

You'll probably notice an improvement with the cam, but more likely from it replacing a worn standard cam. An uprated cam on an engine like the XR2i CVH won't give you much improvements over a standard cam without other work too, such as head work and a better flowing exhaust system, etc...

I think Kent used to quote about +14bhp for their XR2i cam, didn't they? I wouldn't expect anywhere near that without a lot of other work.

Atif/Xr_Dub had a Kent CVH32 Cam in his old XR2i lump apparently (see his engine for sale post here: http://www.fiestaturbo.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=118532 ). May be talk to him about everything else he has done too.

by **mannion** on Sun Jan 08, 2006 10:00 pm

i had a kent cam in a mk2 XR2. It made it idle a bit lumpy but it pulled like a train! Although i don't know if it had any other work done to it, so this reply is pretty useless, but there you go :lol:

by **knuckles** on Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:58 pm

Got new pieces of this mk3.5 jigsaw puzzle.
Filler flap £15.88
Filler housing £16.50

Im told now i need a new filler neck and a different inner wing pannel.
Hopefully pick these up at the scrap yard as guy at fords wants £38 for filler neck alone and he cant guarantee it will be the correct part .... :-?

Nice one

by **knuckles** on Fri Feb 10, 2006 8:06 am

Hi all,

Small update but loads of pics

Added : Rs Spoiler, Mk5 aerial, mk4 dials, New rear bumper with New blue bumper insert, Euro rear light cluster.

Also had the windscreen change because of a small 2 inch crack which got alot bigger :rolleyes:

Was so relieved to finally wave goodbye to that horid black plastic spoiler and welcome a lovely polished rs one.

Let me know what you think.....

Cheers, knuckles

by **chris-fiesta** on Fri Feb 10, 2006 9:39 am

looking good, but needs a good polish to match the bonnet...

i ould have let the bodyshop mop the whole car to get rid of all the swirls and bout make the paint work gleam again

by **paradox** on Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:32 am

a great improvement mate
