So far so good. I have had nothing go wrong with the car since I bought it a couple of months ago.
My car is totally original with only 38,000 miles on the clock which is great considering the car is eleven years old this year.
I am planning to strap on a Turbo and putting on the Cosworth Body Kit on the car.
As the car is now I am really happy with it, but is slightly underpowered compared to what I used to drive, I used to have the Fiesta XR2i 1.8i, but obviosly the car was smaller with the same engine as my Escort.
The car handles well and has a good ride quality, but I am planning to Lower the suspension slightly when I have put the body kit on so I hope not to upset the ride too much.
It should be noticeably quicker than your XR2i. Yes it has the same basic engine, but tuned to deliver about 20bhp more.
Are you sure you have a 130 version? The 105 and 130 engines look the same apart from the sticker on the inlet manifold, and these can easily be (and often get) swapped.
I am very happy with my xr3i I think the power is just right, it is not to quick, but it has the power to get rid of the boy racers that tail you.
Ford started the boy-racer, so what you goin on about, you if anyone are a boy-racer in your xr3.
