the tops had to be cut off to increase them in height to get the suspension travel that these cars lacked so much

carlo · 11-01-2009, 10:15 PM

Nice one mate

markk · 11-01-2009, 10:18 PM

cheers carlo, been very slow last year, but i do now have a gorgeous little boy, worth ten times any rally car, so no rush with the car.

carlo · 11-01-2009, 10:20 PM

Fair play mate of course! what about a engine you got one or gathered the bits?

markk · 11-01-2009, 10:28 PM

bottom end is in the machine shop, no head as yet, im waiting to see what the batch of new ones are coming in at from cosworth, as second hand ones are silly money at the moment.

carlo · 11-01-2009, 10:33 PM

Andy was talking to cosworth at autosport on friday they had a new head wiith them didnt mention a price tho

PAUL S · 14-01-2009, 06:52 PM

chap on the RSOC site asked at the Autosport show - Cosworth said 2k bare

for a new 4x4 head casting, 2wd ones are to be made soon as well

not a bad price on the whole really for what you get, a pukka head with no issues, and plenty of life in it, if you have to have a head ported, then say new gasket and skim every few years then a new head over say 8 years of ownership is nothing really compared to spending a fortune on an unknown

the only update i have now, is that my ecu has arrived, and all singing and dancing unit, with some superb features, the manual is 130 pages thick !!

gonna take some learining is this one to map.

Twins · 17-01-2009, 07:09 PM

Yes that was what I was told by Cosworth and they are making 20 to 25 of each 2wd/4wd, and they were looking at blocks next.

foreigneRS · 19-01-2009, 08:50 PM

surely they could easily sell 50 of each and do them cheaper? or maybe they are keeping the production limited to keep the price high

markk · 09-03-2009, 10:22 PM

small update, shes sat on her wheels now, all things being well it will be painted by sunday
