Greets and Links:
Odd Fact: Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) were forbidden from using the Fuel-Injected XR3i engine when designing the XR2. Ford wanted the XR3i to be top-dog. (dog being the operative word these days!)

This is by no means an exhaustive list of links. More links can be found on some of the sites below or you can always join the modders webring.
Sorry to all you people out there that aren't on my links page. There are literally hundreds of Fiesta websites worldwide and I do have a job to go to!
If you want a link, you're best bet is to e-mail me. - These (and all other external links in XR2.org.uk) open in a new browser window, so you won't get lost.

David Boltons Race Spec XR - This is a sub-section of his main website devoted to his track/race XR2.
Having bid a sad farewell to the blue subaru machine a little while ago he's back at it again with fiestas.
If a car fitted with Fire Extinguishers, vents in place of headlights and lots of pure power is your cup of tea (and if its not then your in the wrong place mate) then check this site out !

fiestamods- A web-friend of mine who's currently modifying his Fiesta. He has a noble philosophy "Showing people how to transform a really basic Fiesta into an XR2 beater".
This site just marches on from strength to strength, more mods than you can shake a big pooh covered branch at, guest cars, reviews, tips and to top it all the guy is even running the Fiesta Modders webring and the Fiesta Bulletin Board. If you're going to do something to your Fiesta this is one place to check out. - NEW IN: Check out his cossie-inspired mk3! (as soon Mr Steve's pulls his finger out and updates the site!)

Fiestaworld - An invaluable source of technical advice on fiestas. The usual stuff like modifications and style tips are present but with much more besides. I regularly visit this site for details on wiring and the more technical jobs that you can do to your car.
The guy running the site is some sort of electronics wizard. Visit it now, you won't be disappointed!

www.xr2.8m.com- Probably the best purely XR2 dedicated site I've seen so far. It's got loads of 'readers' cars and experiences, a crash section, an advice section, bulletin board and lots of other photo's and material.

www.ns-r.co.uk- Follow Nicks progress in the (genuine) XR Championships, this site is an excellent source of information detailing all the tracks and stages.
Watch him spin, mash and generally abuse a pretty-much-standard XR2... You can even rent one for a day and red-line it yourself!

www.mikehume.force9.co.uk/fiestas/- Mike Hume's become something of a name in mk3 Fiesta's with him and his mates really getting to it with turbos and 2i's.

Fife HotHatch club - if you live far up north then you can't afford to missthis site. The CVH tuning section is a must if you're new to Fords. Otherstuff includes pics and classifieds.

This site however has nothing to do with cars, it's his personal web presence and online skills index/CV.
Take a peak !

www.guinness.co.uk- Well, after giving us Boyzone, Westlife and lots of senseless killing the Irish finally got something right!

www.amiga.com- The Official Amiga Technologies Website - The world leaders in multimedia and graphics. School kids who had Amiga computers enjoyed stereo sound, 48,000 colours on screen (out of 16.8million) and an operating system that fitted on a single floppy disk.... all while the PC was still in nappies !

www.dogpile.com- A mahooosif search thingie that searches loads of other search engines at the same time!
