I'd be stoked if I was given a Fiesta as a loan car. Usually they're old buckets o' poo pooe

Ok.... Bad news. Bottom end totally fiucked. Piston Fiucked. Head Fiucked... so im pulling the peice of poo poo 2lt out and putting in a 13B N/A, Would appreciate anyone whos done a conversion or has a 13B already in a esky to give me a few pointers. I've priced a 13B Bridge Port with RX4 Box for $1500, but in terms of all the other stuff, manifolds, modifications etc give us a shout. Some tell me not to touch the rotor but its cheap easy power... What do you think?

That's a real shame man. I know how you feel though!

As you said rotors can make good power, but just as another option to consider (if it's your thing), you can get front cuts with 20v Toyota donks in them for a decent price! They go hard and rev really well too.

Best of luck with it mate and sorry to hear about your bad luck.

I was wondering how your car was going. What the hell happened?? [:0][V]

I have been in a brigy 13B rx4 it was a todal loose woman in traffic and was a beach on fuel but it was very quick.. One of my mates done the conversion and it was a lot of work steering column changes new engine mounts, but it also was a turbo job. You may have seen it in newcastle in the past was a light blue mk2 pano.

You could look into zetec?

Very sorry to hear about your engine Rhys.

Rotors aren't well know for their reliability or longetivity so you might just be getting yourself into a different pile of poo.

I had a mate with an RX2 bridgeport which hunted and carried on on the road, not a good daily driver. Just my 2c.
