My Fiesta Supersport

Under going rebuild as we speak. Got it backed in the garage at the moment with no engine, box or suspension. Going to fit mk1 xr2 engine and box.

looks like your well on your way i've got a mark 1 myself and if its still solid plan to put 1.8 zetec in it from my mk6 scort si (had slight argument with ditch, but waste not want not!!)

nice bruv looks like a good clean shell

[Mk2Jo]

Very nice .... looks like it will be another good one

nice project mate

 

just a quick question tho, why fit an XR2 engine if its a supersport ?

 

there just as rare as XR2's if not rarer I can't really talk because i've got a 1300S replica but if you've got the real deal why change it?

 

I've noticed lately a few on ebay that are proper supersports with XR2 engines or even been reshelled into a XR2

nice little project you got there mate

[mk1mexico]

yeah keep it 1300

I did think long and hard about it. I chose the 1.6 because; It looks almost exactly the same as the 1.3, but goes a hell of a lot better. The 1.3 just doesn't give enough power for todays traffic. To most people looking under the bonnet, they wont even know its not a 1.3. I'm trying to keep it original, but to the spec i want.

At least i'm not putting a cvh in it!.......that would be ruin in it!

[Fiesta Steve]

Yeah, 1600 all the way

[Chevette1256]

yeah I understand your point about it looking the same etc

 

I would say if you spend the right money tho the 1.3 would be just as good

 

anyway moving on from that what interior you gona fit?

Just make sure that you inform the Insurance Co, be a shame to loose any payment on it, coz of not claiming the bigger engine
