Default The Road Escort Cosworth
Owned this car for quite a few years now. It has 56k on the clock its been up to MSD a few times and recently had a coilpack conversion, anti lag and launch control added. Stupidly put it up for sale when I wasnt sure I would have the time to use or store it. I had many offers but overall Im glad I didnt sell it.

Some pics

Added a set of 378mm Alcon brake kit. These turned out to be a nightmare and needed quite abit of work! Dont buy used bits it only ends costing more to put right.

It developed a small piston slap on cold start so its gone off for a complete engine rebuild. Nothing fancy just rebuilt to standard spec again.

Hi Jakki,

The car has been faultless really if anything too clean and nice to use. Due to having many other cars at the time and not really using it I put it up for sale but glad I didnt sell it. Currently talking to do a full underneath resto.

Very nice any pictures at all? Im in the market for a saph myself.
