Just thought id share with you my mk3 fiesta.

its a 1991 Fiesta LX 1.4i with just 40,000 miles on the clock (20,000 when i bought it last year!!)

photos

front splitter is still to be colour coded. weather is so crap my local sprayer cant do it!

















exterior is pretty much finished.

next on the cards is coilovers and engine work when I have the cash!

not sure whether to tune the original low mileage 1.4i or upgrade to an xr2i engine...

turbo it

plus easiest option

Its a beauty!! looks great with those wheels, i think dave on here has a set of those. I cant beleive how low the milage is, thats a great find. I think you should go rs turbo if your changing engine, more uprated than xr2i's cvh.

welcome to fsi

car looks a good base to start with, if you can afford it i'd get the 2i engine in there and then look into fitting a frst engine

sleeper ftw!

cheers

the obvious answer would be rs turbo engine but i cant afford to the petrol/insurance/tax etc!

which is why i was looking as an xr2i or just a 1.6 cvh.

my only concern is it would be a shame to ditch the original engine with such low miles which is why i thought of tuning it. id be happy with anything around 100bhp.

itd be alot of work but it is possible to turbo the 1.4 for around 100bhp i think. if i was you then i would keep the engine how it is for a long time and enjoy its good low milage feel until you can afford the expenses.

she's a beaut

1.4

cam, 4 branch, air filter, exhaust should be fun

welcome to fsi

car looks nice

nice looking car i like this

carb'd 1.6 cvh out of mk2 xr2 or mk3 1.6 s would fit in there easily and there about 90bhp or sumat standard and wouldnt be hard to get 100bhp out of it

Mint!

as i said over on fg savage car mate, retro out!

if you wanted it to stay retro but have it turbo'ed then the old carbed xr2 engine with a turbo technics kit would be cool as feck.

only problem is that the tt kit is quite rare now

To rebuild?

Minter mate. Love it

I say keep the engine for a while. It's only done 40k so will still be pretty reliable. Then when you can afford it later on maybe consider an engine swap

LOVE IT!

Always fancy a clean 5 door retro styleeee
