Old school cool

Lookin forward to seeing you kicking this around the track tony

Just ordered my bigend shells (cos its knockin) water pump oil pump and belts ready for the trackday and i might have a scorpio verysoon so the cosworth engine should be in sooner then i thought.

Oh and might be buying some sap cos alloys for the trackday as i plan on using all 8 tyres.

Those bits expensive tone??

Cheap as chips.

Water pump £23

oil pump £38

Belts £8

Big end shells £23

Just finished the breaks today not the best in the world but will do for now.

Gutted the car hasnt got an LSD. But has got newish komi's all round.

PIC FROM WHEN I GOT IT STICKERED UP FOR THE TRACKDAY MORE TO FOLLOW WITH ITS NEW WHEELS.


Some new pics comming soon.

I am trying to buy a 3 door cossy kit for it.

After xmas will be replacing all the bushes and fitting a back axle off a xr4x4 so i get a lsd and rear disks.

Also going to have it mesured up for a 6point rollcage but i am not to fussed on having to cut the dash.

Just a couple of pics put my trackday wheels on to see what it looks like.

It is sitting high at the back cos i never moved it after jaking it up still need to put the springs on the back though to make it lower.

lookin good matey! gona look mint when u finished all your plans! keep up the good work

Buying my bucket seats tonight of John so thought i would go up and check on the car and some daft idiot has tried to rob it

Apart from the fact the engine doesnt work because the bigend shells need doing its got NO steering wheel on it a shed load of bits in the back inclooding a bonnet and loads of crap on the front seats what idiot tries to rob a car in this kind of condition.

Nevermind should be up and running soon once i get the quad out of my garage so i can put this back in.

whyn o why do they do this

any damage?

where was the car? any damage?

Car is in a carpark at the moment.

Only damage was the rubber from the sunroof was taken out and the door locks are buggered.

Been thinking alittle

I like trackdays and like my 4i and have been looking for a rwd car to trackday.

I went and looked the 4i over good n proper today and found its prob going to cost close to £5000 to get it how a want it (spray job seats bodykit engine). I want a 24v cossie engine in my 4i which will cost £1500 before i do all the work.

So i have come up with this idea need to know what you peps think??

TRAKDAY REPLICA CAR LIKE THIS OLD 4I BTCC THAT ROUSE WON THE TITLE WITH.



I have a traiders insurance policy ready to be setup in june so getting the car road legal wont be a problem that way i can use the 4i as a toy aswell.


Wouldnt cost the earth and i could go out and buy another 4i later in nextyear for £1800 with the cos engine in it.

What do you think.

Cool car man! i just got an xr4x4 on a k plate, had the choice of that or a 4i, chose the 4x4 coz it was 100 quid cheaper.
i can tell you where the 4i is if your interested?
its got a scorpio engine in it with cossie running gear, bodykit, bonnet and had a bare metal respray 5 years ago. needs the exhaust fixing and welding in the usual places though

I please do.

xr 4x4 is a good motor mate but i am a rwd man and like to hang the back end out ALOT.
