Saw it when you, and Alex posted it on Facebook, it's a beautiful colour, and, I can't wait to see the progress on this one, after following the AX!

Look the xsi looks. You going for a full restore are just painting and fixing rust?

Looks awesome! I love S1 XSI'S, they just look "right".
Good nick aswell, good luck with the resto!
On another note, I noticed the rev limit is higher out of this than on a VTR. How do the lumps differ if at all? Or is just a higher limit to do with ECU?

I've spend hours looking on eBay, auto trader, piston heads, car and classic, and the usual forums. Every so often a suitable gem comes up. The AX was a non brainer that it would be good given the mileage. This one was the 3rd that I'd enquired about. The first being a 205 GT but that needed alot of tidying up compared to what was advertised. And the second was an S1 Rallye in black which looked fairly tidy but failed to mention Cat C.

Cheers mate. As Monka said I've been reliably informed that the XSi has the same setup that the later S2 Rallye adopted. Not sure exactly what's different compared to a VTR though.

Im not sure its got a higher comp ratio as only the 1.4 xsis got domed pistons. They should be dished in these and the s2 rallyes. Not that I doubt itd make much difference really all in

Right well I guess the saying 'start as you mean to go on' applies here.
As usual there's no particular method in my madness but it all gets done eventually. I've given the car a good check over underneath and the first thing that made the OCD side of me twitch was the underside of the sills, i cant stand half washed cars :-) so this is my starting point
Much better
Having done the AX previously which only had 25k miles on the clock I got curious on the underside of the 89k XSi
This
Led to this
I have the day off tomorrow so let more cleaning commence

Super anal, I love it! What did you use to clean it off? I'm assuming that it was factory underseal that was coming off and not dirt/road grime?
