Default Cosworth Build

Hi everyone,
Just bought a Cosworth Replica with a series 2 rs turbo engine..
It has full recaro interior and a loud blow off valve..
Car needs a good bit of engine work and im hoping to have the engine modified to put out serious power.
It also needs a small amount of tidying on the body..
I have a seriously good mechanic and panel beater so i know it will be as good as new when its done..
I will keep yee posted on the car as time goes by..

really good replica for a change with decent paintwork and a lower spoiler that sits in the right place, only tell tales are the rear windows and feul cap as far as i can see, so not alot to do if you really wanted it perfect not that it doesnt look perfect as it is, ive even got piks of this car on my comp

As already said, looks a nice car... am i right in thinking its going cosworth power or just a tweaked rs turbo engine?

I'd love a drive that size
