1990 Ford Fiesta XR2i review from UK and Ireland
"A good one will out run most things at the lights... mine does"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It was standard when I first got it.
I put new suspension, brakes, gear box oil, Magnex exhaust, K&N induction kit, changed the tappets - Castrol magnet oil (it likes that, no fully synthetic, it doesn't run properly), cam belt (a must), decent coolant and a tune up (with a little more petrol programmed in), and I will test anyone, no jugging, no shudder... but even after a new clutch it still plays up a little...
General comments?
I have fitted Recaros.
It is very quick and these cars where made for an after market exhaust and filter as Ford made the originals as part of the "restrictive powermods".
