Default Cosworth MOT PASSED!!!! update 25th Nov 04

I bought my Moonstone blue sapphire cosworth 2wd G reg `90 as a present to myself about 4years ago I bought the car as a std motor with escos alloys and has since had a diff rebuild, gearbox, and engine rebuild (due to cambelt slipping)

It had just had an engine rebuild when I bought it so thought it would last me years, unknown to me it had an oil leak that rotted the cambelt stripping teeth from it, new exhaust valves and a year later it was back on the road looking a little better than before.

I finally took it off the road again last xmas when the turbo went and decided that 300bhp would be even more fun and have been saving and collecting the parts for the job, 803 injectors, ecu chip, 3bar MAP etc. It seems the weather has got to the shell the last couple of winters so it may be its last couple of years when/if it gets MOT this year, dreaded rust!!

Realising the brakes wouldnt be upto it I have also uprated them too (still a secret but check my avatar for a sneak peak
My engine bay last week shows i have a bit of work to do before the end of the year

but shows some improvement this week, there are some secret bits still to do but its fair to say i will be happy with a good 300bhp, i think i have specced it sensibly, being on a tight budget this should perform OK on track when i finally sort the chassis


Parts Im waiting on now include:
4x4i/cooler
T34 turbo actuator and damper brackets
Brakes now modified and waiting to be fitted
New alarm/immobiliser
