Oh no, It wouldn't be a good project if it didn't lose a bucket load of cash.

Lol add up all the bits I bought While building it in the first place, money's not important when you dont intend to sell it! A quaife atb would be nice too.

As with 50% of the rallyes I've owned, this one broke down within 24hrs of me getting it.
It wouldn't rev past 4k and was generally running like poo. Mark at French sport tuning had a look for me and it turned out to be a damaged crank sensor plug and also the wiring was knackered around it. All sorted now and running sweet!
Next on the to do list is to get the tracking sorted and also the wheels balanced.

Jim, we must meet up for some pictures when the weather is nice.
Sorry mate, missed this. Yes we do, need a little run out in this. I nearly booked blyton for this Sunday too!
You busy Saturday afternoon? I'm heading over to Leeds to Costco...
If you book Blyton, and you want a passenger just let me know mate and ill be there!
Unfortunately I've got the kids all day Saturday chief. You putting the fezza on track?

I bet that's a lot of fun over Goathland. Nice project you have.
I was planning on, but funds won't allow at the minute.
Hope to get it on track at some point this year though.

Bet it's quick Jim?
It's pretty nippy mate! Runs out of puff at about 115mph due to the box but I rarely go anywhere near that.
Who does? I want a passenger ride at some point mate.
We need a get together.
Indeed. And pictures will ensue...
Next time you go to Blyton, ill tag along of that's ok?
Just got a new lens for track day shooting which I want to try out

Nice, how much is it?
£2600 which is what it would probably cost me to buy everything seperately. I could hopefully swap the engines and punt the saxo on for £1200 - £1500.

Looks like the scoob is stalking its prey lol.
Defo buy the Saxo for the engine. Like you say, you will be able to sell the Saxo on and get some money back!

Nice! Someone's mate up the road as just got one in white, very cool apart from the chavvy England flags sticking out of it atm.
apart from the chavvy England flags sticking out of it atm.Nice 16v'd xsi on the bay at the moment.
I'm just a bit concerned about how much the sax would fetch as a more standard motor.
Just do it Jim, makes complete sense!

If you bastardise it keep the 1.3 on an engine stand, service it and stash it for the future. These cars will be worth more with the 1.3 in the future. They are the beating heart of these cars. The 16v has legs in a straight line but the 8v is a hoot on track as well. If you get itchy power feet, strip it out to lighten it and put some sticky rubber on a set of S2 steelies.

Oh yeah, I think it's the sensible thing to do.
