noooo lol the white shell is the replacement shell for my 1.6 Si.Going to use that to build a new daily runner.

This red xr2i is going to get all the money spent on it and recieve the ZT.

Finally its here.Very very fast delivery from Martin Hadland "aka Reyland Motors" Ordered it Tues,Paid on Wed and got it today. Spoke to him on the phone and can happily say he is a very nice bloke. Will definitely be ordering a Tial external waste-gate from him.

I ordered a GT30 turbocharger with .63 exhaust housing.I'll let the pictures do the talking...









Pictures against my T3 that was sold on eBay.



Oh yes I'm a very happy bunny!

Incase your wondering what sort of power this can produce,It will push 450bhp with good drivability.

Agreed. Going to need a bulletproof gearbox/driveshafts and LSD.

Polishing service on aluminum, please pm for details

that is a mental sized snail

how much was the turbo and rods?

pm me if you like

Turbo was £887.50 with tax and shipping from Martin Hadland...Search for GT30 Turbo on ebay. Seems he sells them cheaper on ebay than on his site. Bought the rods brand new still sealed in packaging from a bloke in Lincoln *Not Ian Howell* for £300

Spent today in the garage doing odd jobs on the project. First I decided to clean up the engine bay a bit by brushing off all the dust and wildlife that consist of 6 legs or more! Then decided to unplug and pull out all the engine bay loom and the fire seal? I think thats what its called,The metal and fabric guard between the engine and wiper motor/gutter panal.




I then realised I really should clean up and repaint some of the under car parts.

Decided to quickly remove and paint the holder and supports for the catalytic convertor in black Hammerite Metal paint.


Going to remove and clean up the wishbones tomorrow

looking good

Did some more today but my Fiesta SI reshell project took up most of the day but whilst it's battery was charging I decided to crack on with the FZT Project. Didnt get around to painting up the wishbones but they need sending off to Ian to be made adjustable anyway so ill wait.

First I removed the driveshafts along with the hubs as I'm going to repaint the hubs anyway. Driveshafts were really cooked on there so ended up releasing the gaitor and just pulling off from the ball joints instead,Its all going to get refurbed and regreased etc anyway.

Shafts next to Gareths the gearboxes new home


Then i set about removing the xr2i's standard inlet manifold and injector plate.


Then trial fitted the Rover Turbo Inlet manifold with Ian Howell adaptor plates to test the fit. Fits beautifully!




All weekend I've had Lilly dropping ball or this thing at my feet,If i dont throw it after 10 or so seconds she will drop it actually on my feet or on my tool box.Even worst is the ball she drops it and it rolls under the car!


Cute though.
