Doc Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 That trend for vauxhall 16v motors seems to have died down doncha fink
Guest MK1gaz Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 You can't give them away either which is a shame as they always go well . I've advertised mine 4 times for peanuts and i've still got it so i'll just hang onto it now for 10 years and then flog it for big money
bashmk1 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 amazing engines, still better than anything ford have designed(maybe bar the duratec as i have no idea what thats like)
bashmk1 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 says it all really then doesnt it. im guessing it was mazda???
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I'm planning on dropping one in my Anglia saloon. However I change my mind more often than I change my undies. That said I've not changed my mind for a week.
Mr Sam Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 i quite fancy one in the fiesta......with the same spec as that purple corsa that runs 11's FWD's just shouldnt be able todo that

Davecara Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Would I be right in thinking that Cosworth had a hand in designing the XE? Its a stonking motor, only ever seem to end up in Nova's round my way though

bashmk1 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 amazing engines, still better than anything ford have designed(maybe bar the duratec as i have no idea what thats like) Ahem.. Ford Cosworth DFV ... the most winiest F1 engine of all time, yeah but you dont see many of those on ebay for a pound cos some chav crashed his astra while racing his mate in his one-six saxo.
hellblue Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I had an XE in my mk2 cortina up to last year, whilst it sold easy & i got a bit more than i paid for it i only had the one call on it,so i think i was lucky
escortmad79 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Would I be right in thinking that Cosworth had a hand in designing the XE? Earlyy Red tops have Cosworth designed Coscast heads
