basically ill start by saying i pretty much no f.a about motors as this is my first
and ive had bikes in the past.Anywway my neighbour who is a kingsize coksucker by the way owns a sierra cossy and hes outside 24/7 with the bonnet up fiddling with it and revving the fucking nuts out of it,even though i know for a fact theres nowt wrong with it.what i want to know is are these motors something special only whenever i pull up in my zed he throws me the most dirtiest looks as if hes looking down at me through hes nose,and its got me wondering.I know these cossys used to be cars people went mad for when i was a kid but i thought it was now a case of common as shit like the rs turbos ended up rnd here.
what do you guys think i was curious.thanks apreciate your time
p.s hes out there now revving nuts out of it

ive got a few mates with rs turbos and cosworths ... all of them are seriously modded.

Theres a seirra 4x4 cosworth with stage 2 everything and a wickid boost controler, bailey dump valve the lot. thats running about 380bhp with the boost control. had it off the clock at 180mph.

fiesta RSTurbo running about 280bhp est full engine rebuild uprated cams pulleys Head ported and polished triple layer gasket T2 turbo fuly lightened bottom end full samco hose kit etc blitz dump valve helix racing clutch. off the clock at 160.

escort RSturbo not as modified as the rest but the body styling n shit is top notch. Loads of ice etc.

Sierra cosworth RWD Completly standard kept in showcar condition. Engine absouloutly imaculate.

cossies are a different kind of car, i'm a big ford fan (minus the KA) and recently a sierra cosworth managed to become the first cossie to break 200 mph.

the escorts have held their value alot better than the sierras but thats doesn't mean the sierra is shit, just not a good as the escort.

lets put it this way, how many cars have you seen on a J reg, K reg still are worth £15k and are probably ragged. A mint condition escort cosworth would set you back atleast £25k. not many cars that old are that valuable.
sierras are cheaper about £6-7k usual price, probably £10-12k mint condition one.

the above car i mentioned the seirra cossie the bloke who owns that is 26 he managed to get his quotes down from 2k to 600 quid... but he is a professional driver so i supose that would cut his in half.

he had to get someone out to look at his engine tho because of all the mods hes got.

Im on the look out for a cossie engine to go in my project car (ford capri) im painting it next month.
I still think they are one of the best engines nice and easy to work on.
A mate of mine let me drive his escort for the day but i think the older seirra 3doors rwd are best more fun to drive when you get the arse out.

My mates got a rwd saphire cossie, wot a buzz drivin it. He's debadged his so most people think its just a spec'd up standard car. Great car but i wouldnt want to run 1 every day cos he's always got probs with his. He takes piss out of my Zed but still likes to drive it!

shifty u muglips just cos u got a skyline doesnt mean its the best car in the world. at the minute this seirra cossie would put you to shame...

on a track or round the town and if you dont believe me I can easily arrange a meet up spillas or arnison.

just to giv an example of how fast this fucker really is ...

cossie vs ferrari 360 ( cant spell ) - Cossie wins from about 60mph to over 180mph

not only is it a quick as fuck car it could be alot quicker hes got a shit load of ice in it weighing it down plus his interior is full leather comfort chairs lol if he stripped the car and if he could change gear fast enuff hed be hitting rediculous times... im saying times cos hes already had redline out of top gear he just couldent tell how fast he was going cos it was of the clock at 180mph.

shifty shut ya shit. ill agree with ya if you mod ya engine it will be faster but at the minute you aint got a clue.
