I've been lucking around for awhile now, thought I'd better pop some pics up of my ride, see what you think  She started like as a Rosso Red 2.8, but been through a few changes since!     Also got this fitted    Due to an overheat problem, she hasn't been on the road for 18months, I could kick myself, I was thinking i've wrecked the engine when all it appeared to be was a stuck closed thermostat! A quick clip of her running after the 18month sleep!  She's MOT'd now, just waiting for me to get the tax. Hope you enjoy looking, as much as I have building her |

Crikey. That must be a little brisk!
I like it - although I'm not a mesh fan. Colour is superb.

Its umm nippy! even on the LPG The mesh is there (and its the only bit) to allow as much air in as possible, the standard slatted grill doesn't flow that well, and its different from the sapphire cosworth grill. The colour is a Honda colour, goes purple in certain lights |

The XR4x4 always had shed loads of grip, IMO it always needed more power to exploit the handling and grip. Sweet car!

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

She's putting about 200+bhp, abit less that some of the 24v powered cars, due to her gas conversion, but I'm looking into a gas injection kit, which should bring the power back up!  |

Very cool car dude, agreed the engine bay looks a bit meh with the red, but you can't see if when you're giving it the beeenz and enjoying what you've built. Cracking car.
Any build pics at all? That's the coolest stuff to look at somtimes.

Thanks for the comments I know the red bay is abit meh! its due to be sorted very soon, only be satin black, but will look alot better, also the rocker covers and plenum chamber will be redone in metallic blue powercoat. I don't have many of the build, as I'm normal get to carried away building it to take some pics!   Only resent pictures I have are of the twin fan conversion, I can post them up if anybody is interested |
