james_60 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Nice colour. Not sure about those wing mirrors and those clear rear lights. Imo the wing mirrors look better if they are the originals colour coded and the smoked xr2i rear lights. The Reason the so called 0-60 time is so slow is that :- You had a car full of people. You have an exhaust larger than a deep pan pizza Is the Engine a CVH or a Zetec Valve oil seals springs to mind. How many miles has the engine done not the car. Were the brakes uprated as well as the suspension Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey86 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 thank you, i will upload a pic of engine l8r, but should be around 110bhp ? this does feel slower then a 1.1 with just me in the car, and to everything else the car is how i bough it for yestaday, so any help be great.. a freind told me the cat could be blocked ? for the reason i am loosing power ? and its says bon engine 16v zetec , looks same as a mk5 escort engine but this one has a efi on top of it ?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi smokey86. I live just up the road from you. does sid dennis have anything in? Shame, I had a 1.6 zetec last year and sold it for £150 with 11 months MOT. Engine was spot on but the rest was knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
