Project Sierra XR4i

[Kitos]

Heheheh.... i will strictly maintain only 2000cc and below atleast for this moment.
After a few years on this stock engine then i will rebuild to add on bigger turbo and perhaps do a twin turbo project but that is much much later lar.

The engine is out and resprayed.
The mechanics done a good job in cleaning it up and the car bay chasis had not got any single accident so after sand paper polish with good paint on it looks great!!
The petrol hose mounting had been relocated to left hand side for safety purpose. The shop also found that the front wheel had already been coverted to pcd114 so i think ex owner should have done the same for the rear wheel :)
All the old wirings not being used on the bay are slowly being removed and the dashboard is slowly coming out as well to do remove further unused wirings.
The engine condition are in great shape so nothing to do except the power steering is leaking oils so it will be replaced.

Here are the pictures so far from today's visit to the workshop :D

Still doing the engine bay polishing and then go for 2nd layer paint.
The area of the ex spoiler have some rust since it's been taken out for long time and it wasn't properly sealed. Need to do some cleaning and polish before the rs cosworth spoiler goes back to the car.

Still looking for the power steering replacement and then do the cleanup on the engine before remounting it back in.

[Kitos]

It is a day to rejoice as the XR4i is finally done with the body work and paint job ;)

After looking at the last posting date i realised that it's been more than half year since i have any update on the project. Well finally the stage 1 of the car is complete on the exterior and i will be moving to next stage. Hopefully this time the progress on the work on the other detail work for the car will be more swift ;D

Here are the photos of the XR4i i took and enjoy.

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Eh? You've got an AD resort too? Haha yes, I got my coilovers finally on my wagon, im so happy . Next up would be arb's from ultra racing aaaand uhm, weber carbs. Heheh Whats the PCD of your wheels anyway?

Yes, i still have the resort for my parent to drive around. I am not sure the PCD on the XR4i now since it's been rojak now so need to check with my workshop now. :proud:.
It's good to know that you have done with your car project... mine still going on :sleep:... feel like ages to get the project car done up.

 

[LittleWhiteWagon]

Ah I see, haha reliable and spacious. Every parents criteria eh? Im guessing yours is a 114.3, looks bigger than our AD's

Done? Nah dude its far from done, far far from done. I'm still waiting for my carbs + ARB's... then a full bucket.

Its just faster when daddy replaces whatever's broken with cheaper and better aftermarket parts haha

 

[Kitos]

Huiyo... how come this thread topic become "Promoted" ar???

WhiteWagon,

Yes you guessed it right, it's PCD 114 after i confirm with the workshop ;)
Yeah it will be faster when money is not an issue ....lol

Lucky, haha maybe cause you're restoring a rare Ford?

Haha awesome, better wheel choices. Hmm what brakes are you using btw? Im kinda curious :hmmmm:

 

[Kitos]

The brake is rojak already lor as it's not using ori break. It's using S13 brakes that came with the SR20 halfcut from the prev owner ;D

Oooh. Haha upgrade one more step lah, 5 lug 4 pot R32 brakes. You'll get muuuuch more variety in wheels :proud: .

So technically your car is a silvia in all but body right?
