Top stuff :) Get it posted on RSOC to really pish off the hardcore blue oval'ers who deem it sacrilidge to remove the standard tape deck out of Sierra Cosworths lol

[nova_saloon]

you cant take the original tape deck out, for it be oringal and shinney and such! the exhaust on it coming out the front must be sodding loud!

[french riggy]

ha ha thats an omp toeing eye on the front, its gone now as i've refitted the sump guard.

[Rysee]

Whack some Allesios on too for good measure :thumb:

[Rexy]

lol, I'll get the Info request thread removed :D

[Sloth]

what info request thread?

[french riggy]

There is an actual sensible thread about this request

[LEWI007]

Love those fiestas me.

Cosworth engine would be the one though.

[french riggy]

You're looking around 1500 maybe more for a decent one though

[L14MNP]

lol @ annoying the Ford lads. Loads of them run XE's in their Escorts anyway.
Not cos they're better. Just nice n cheap when you consider bang for buck!

Cool mk1 mate. Do it. Will certaiinly shift!

Just been helping my mate with his mk1, 1700 Vulcan Crossflow on T40 Webbers this afternoon. I miss mine. :(

[LEWI007]

Lifes short, and a MK1 Fiesta deserves one :thumb:

[french riggy]

I've seen xe's in escorts but upto now i've not found anything about them fitted in fiestas. Someone must have done it somewhere.

I've not had the car long but i love it already :)

[L14MNP]

I'm not sure I've heard of one in a mk1 either. Will ask my mate tomorrow. He knows all on the subject of Fiesta's lol.

After any bits mate? I have a lot lying about still, doors, wings. XR2 interior and other stuff.

[Sloth]

heres an idea, measure your chassis lef to chassis leg distance, measure a nova, if its the same or bigger you know it goes in, if not its gonna be tricky but they have been put into a seichento....

[L14MNP]

Agreed. ^
A YB might be around £2K but at least we know they 'fit'. lol

I'm not after any thing yet but if i need anything i'll drop you a pm. The car had a full respray about 18 months ago and is fully undersealed so i'm hoping the rust will stay away. interior wise its all stripped out with a 6 point rollcage it was used for rallying before i got it.

[french riggy]

The zetecs require cutting of the chassis leg on one side and some taken of the other. when i see riggy i'll have a look how big the engine bay is in comparison.

[Sloth]

stop posting, go get the engine out.

[L14MNP]

Sounds like a good shell mate! Get some XR2 head lights though! (I don't have any lol)

You gonna do a WIP on here? :)

[french riggy]

I can do if people want to see it. I didn't think it would be too popular

[Sloth]

are you mad, of course its gonna be popular!!!!!

£5 says it fits.

[L14MNP]

Yeah man get it up. There's more old skool non-Vaux love around here than people care to admit! They don't even flame me when I stick pics of my Volvo up lol

Mk1 Fez FTW. Can't beat the little buggers. :)

[Sloth]

can with a stick...... lol

[Rysee]

I tried to buy this but she declined my offer before i made it. I expected her to say she'd had it from new... she had. Mobile hairdresser and it's used everyday

[muzzy]

That's a sweet looking Mk1.

A guy phoned me about an XE I am selling saying he was putting it into a MK2 Escort.

took me ages that did lol

[stevejohnson]

dont think it will bother them really the xe is used in loads of old fords like capris escorts and cortinas plus the head was designed by cosworth

[Dod]

Ok, no one is gonna like this but since when have I cared?

The easiest solution is a CVH Turbo or a ZVH. You're ruining a nice motor otherwise.

it might be easier in terms of fitting but a decent CVH turbo will cost more than a decent XE. And a ZVH is a lot of messing about for the gains achieved (the fastest RST still has a 1600CVH ;))

there's a post over on passionford about nova's and most of the people are on there saying just how much fun you can have in one. it seem's the nova is losing the boy racer image. someone on there bought a c20let nova and they are all saying how much fun you get and power for so little money. oh and i drive a sierra cosworth and im not bothered about losing my standard tape deck, but there are some pretty anal people when it comes to fords i have to agree.

[Andy]

theres an xr3i running an xe on youtube aswell
