pekwah1 - 31/1/11 at 08:55 PM

Hi guys,

thinking of putting a xflow engine back in my car for when i do the IVA, in retrospect was probably a bit stupid taking it out....So... anything considered, let me know!

Regards,
Andy

bearing in mind you're in hants, is it up that way?
was hoping for something somewhere that won't take me all day to drive to.....

Might have a 1700 x-flow running piper cam and twin dellorto 40's had produced 112bhp at the wheels, requires new big end bearings fitting thou.

But why not IVA with a Zetec ?

because with my setup i'd be quite lucky to pass.... plus if i use the xflow i won't need to worry about what engine i put in in the future

We have been down this route before!!

I will get my xflow running perfectly, and you could use that ?

Got one in pieces in the garage ready to put back together you can have for free if you're interested? Based in Gloucester

thanks for the offer, if you can include transporting it down to gatwick for me i'll have to accept!

If I'd had known last night, I could have brought it most of the way for you I'm in Luton today lol
It'll all fit in the boot of a car anyway, as it's all boxed.

Sorry to hijack thread but I'm looking to upgrade my xflow engined car, looking for a 1600 or over lump (but needs to be cheap)! Based in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire. I've sent U2U to thefreak

Alan M - 1/2/11 at 12:07 PM

Why can't I access my U2U???????????????

Alan M - 1/2/11 at 12:09 PM

If I go on the site via Google I can't but can via Google Chrome!

thefreak - 1/2/11 at 12:11 PM
