How can you fall in love with an xr2i? Could have at least been an rs turbo!

Even then.. :roll:

Get some decent suspension on it.

Really :shock: It shouldnt be i was sure yours would be polar white :|

Also get some pics up bud :top:


We tried my Dizzy on it on it and that meant it only miss fired at 6000 rpm instead of 3000, bit of a mystery really i thought it was getting too much air but for the dizzy to make a difference it cant be that.

Try what Saj (That guy who came over for a chat) said get some engine flush stuff mate it might well be fuel contamination :top:

13's with 50 profiles would be tiny!
Mine are 15 with 50's and don't look big.

I'm sure minis use 13's and 50's. What wheels are they? Swap the tyres with the ones you have on the steelies.

Thats does look a little odd if you got some bigger tires on it would look better :top:

Coilovers might help but the bottom of the car would be on the floor before you close the tyre to arch gap :lol:
