Bigron86 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well after having a ford probe for a while i decided i wanted a change, iv always wanted an Escort RS Turbo, unfortunately money wouldn't allow this but money could stretch to buying this mk5 XR3i, its not perfect but its salvageable http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a568/bigron130686/IMG_3518_zpsc3e51ea3.jpg im not really a fan of cars been modified so id like to eventually get it back to standard, doesnt need much but id like the original alloys back on the car, the old air filter box as its ot a k&n filter and all the badges for the back end as these have all been removed. ill also be needing some bits aswell like the cassette tray that goes below the tape deck anyone else from or around the bradford area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Ther are mods which can be done and retain the standard look of the car. perhaps try some mk5 rs2000 wheels for example is it a 105 or a 130? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking my cars missing some black strips of the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yes it looks as if the bump strips have been removed although being an xr model they would have been colour coded. i have mine removed. Prefer it that way personally. if you sack off the k&n kit i may be interested. Since i converted to 130 engine ive struggled with an air filter/intake setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horizon Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Car looks really smart. The xr3i came with black strips (100% certain) and black side skirts I think. The rs2000 was colour coded side skirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yes it looks as if the bump strips have been removed although being an xr model they would have been colour coded. i have mine removed. Prefer it that way personally. Plan to remove the strips from my Escort soon, just another moisture trap as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Oh i thought you said you had a k&n setup. Looks like its just the airbox itself you need really in which case any airbox from a cast efi inlet will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
