Hi lads,
I dont realy post on here (dont no why) just like to keep up to speed with whats going on in the world of cosworth's. Ive had 2 escort cossys over 5yrs and a series 1 i used on weekends of my cousins but time change and ive moved on to my dream car (the porka).
Any way the mini, you may of see it on turbominis.co.uk ,its a spaceframe chassis with the remains of the steel shell over the top, its still powerd by the A series engine but with a T3 turbo on it,
Running lightend /balanced knifedged crank, rods , low comp pistons, big valve head etc
Straight cut 4 spd dog box, sailsbury plate LSD.

Right timne for bed , i must be up earlie to get on with andys car? (soz for jumping your thread mate)


Rick
