Paul,
Ive als on my escort(mild)and it really makes a difference on the back roads
on large open circuits like Donny it doesnt make any odds.
Yep was built as a kit and not one of the original factory built ZEI 220 Cossie powered versions.
I bought it with a Cossie engine already in running the usual greens, T34, 205 block etc.
Basically ripped it apart, threw the engine away and had a new 200 blocked one built from scratch with all the trimmings. A reliable 500BHP was the aim. At the same time added all the gadgets like ALS, WI, Dizzyless, Ryan Loom.......The list goes on!!! The most dificult bit was getting a big intercooler in the nose to suit the power.
Really happy with it now. Spent some timing mapping it on the road in the end as it was a pain to do on the rollers and the results were well worth it.
Its a absolute track weapon, albeit a bit of a handful!!!!!!
