Sapphire Cosworth

[Paul RS]

Decided to give the car a good clean today as i haven't waxed it in a week or two, as it was sunny i thought it would be a good idea to go and take some pictures. Any i've taken previously have been crap, not that these are much better lol

Updated the spec as well as i've fitted new parts and discovered other bits missing/different to what was thought to be on the car.

Future plans (if i don't sell!) are a BARA gearbox that even i will find hard to break lol, new wheels and bigger brakes all round. I'm considering going DTA or Pectel management and possibly going for a Harvey Gibbs engine.... Probably a 450bhp/430lbft T38 conversion. Or if i put a T4 on - over 500bhp

looks amazing, great spec.. however the wheels are not really suiting the car I dont think

 

[Paul RS]

Had the fuelling checked by Mr Gault last night and everything was confirmed to be very safe He also was able to roughly confirm the power output is correct as well

I know, not sure what to get though - i'll probably end up with MOs again! But thats a bit down the list, other things need done first.

[bob]

Looks great very clean and super straight, thats some spec list too bet it doesn't hang about!

 

[DaddyCC]

Shoulda put the pics up before the spec list, very standard/sleeperish lookin as u can get for a Cos till u get to that engine bay

Not likin the wheels either but does look a bit unsuspecting that way.... Whats the expected power output???

 

[Paul RS]

Having driven your car and mine, it really is hard to tell which would be faster. Mine 'feels' slower than yours, but the power delivery is totally different...

its specced for over 400bhp. It is around that measured on the accurate 'arse' dyno But it all depends what boost its running. I have no idea what it is as there is no gauge in the car. Should be holding around 28psi.

 

[Johnski]

Looking well spotted this on piston heads a while back, nice plate too.

 

[Steve]

very very nice mate, jealous! get the mo's on it
