Re: Sierra 3dr Cosworth - Fast Ford shoot
Rolling road power run today and the figures are in.......... i'm going to use the bhp figure from the first run as its the highest the car produced on the session i was going to change the spec to GT30, Siemens injectors, air injector and new map but i don't think it's financially worth it.
And here it is - 435.3 @ 6050rpm

Re: Sierra 3dr Cosworth - RR figures and video.....
Right winter times here and the car is now sorned but before i needed to clean the underside to find out what i was up against if i decide to go underneath and paint.
Well the steam cleaner brought off all the s**t and undersealer to leave a pretty decent surface to work with so now i'll be sourcing all the new bit's:-
Rear brake covers
New brakes
Refurb front coil overs
New exhaust
Refurb steering rack
Sort the powdercoating
More updates as soon as it goes to the bodyshop
Doesn't look pretty at the min but it's original and 23 years untouched

Re: Sierra 3dr Cosworth - underside
Somebody is going to be busy
Its takes alot of work to sort an underside properly, believe me
Its gonna take many hours of prep. but ultimately worth it mate,
Will look stunning once done though,
I spotted your motor in Rallye News this month as well, looked aweswome

It's going to break my heart parting with so much money for a new S/S system when you pick a battered 2nd hand unit that does the same job for 1/4 of the price but it should look good)
