My 3 door is comfy ,abit harsh ride wise but then its 26 years old . The engines are not to much to tune, 5k gave me 360 bhp ,this is with a NEW t34 and everything was replaced, 5 years later all it needs is the half moon cam seals doing as they leak a little . All in the 3 door owe's me about 20k over the 8 years ive had it.
You loose more than that if you go get a new car
well considering mine is on coil overs and strut braces, and 18s you wouldnt tell it was on uprated suspension, the cossie rattled my teeth out on coilovers, was okish on konis
5k for 360bhp? did you have a rebuild? considering a std cossie engine can take that with uprated gasket, turbo, injectors chip and map sensor, most have exhaust and filters already
evo 360 is stage one with just filter exhaust and remp and will take abuse all day long, which i know full hand compared to my old cossies and this jap crap, cossie i go through a gearbox each month, evo not matter what i throw at it only thing gone wrong is a heater matrix lol
but im not defending the evo, there two different cars, i want another cossie but will be another escort again, i couldnt live with a sierra anymore, so ill stick with this evo, plus a stroker kit for 2.3 is very cheap compared to cossie stuff
