Defo drums on the back, mine had an lsd but every one seems to say they dont ? If the one you are looking at doesnt then I cant see any advantage over a newer donor

Xr4i has unusually large 10" rear drums which means that the handbrake cable fouls the Indy rear upright mounting bolt.

They do have a close ratio gearbox which is good if you are going for a pinto or zetec etc

They also have larger front brakes which could be a good thing

No LSD either

not a great start for a BEC Indy though

Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys will keep looking for a 4x4 but they seem to be going up in price of late

The 4x4 is only good for the diff. If you're not too bothered about LSD, there are alternatives available which may have more donor parts available to use, as well as better ratio diffs (depending on which bike engine you want to use)
