Talking Sierra Sapphire Cosworth Replica 2.0 DOHC


Cosworth kit
Drilled and grooved discs
Cossie rear axle with Lsd (so rear disc set up)
Cossie interior
Fancy stereo system
Full Power flow system
Momo steering wheel
Remote central locking with Cat 1 alarm
I think it has Koni adjustable shocks aswell
Underneath looks very tidy indeed all the main areas are spot on
What a posotive change from the fez!! it feels so solid while driving with absolutely no rattles, squeekes its sooo great.
Here she is an absolute beautey, very lovely car to drive so sadly the fez is taking a back seat for now (no more money to be spent on the fez )
I just had to remove that splitter from the front bumper as it wouldn't go over bumps, inclines etc



Fully refurbed wheels with new tyres




First of all remove the badges. The exhaust was from Demon Tweeks in May and tbh its incredibley loud only one has the back box the rest is a straight through stainless.






Lovely leather Recaro soooo comftable. Momo steering wheel


Not everyones cup of tea (paint brush splash type thing) apart from that the engine is mint recent rebuild along with clutch, gear box and diff.

i noticed the car temp gauge was always slightly high so straight away look at the wiring on the fans, what a f*cking mess it wasnt even connected. There was a wire from the earth on the battery connecting to the fans wiring then went all the way over the wing into the drivers foot well and not connected to anything, then there was a live wire from the battery over the wing aswell and in the same place as the earth and one wire was burnt f*cking numptys. So basically fans not connected at all.


From that to this, the original wiring was just cut for both fans for some reason. All spot on now atleast.


Heres the nice little stereo that came with the car, Flip screen dvd player (only Ripspeed but does the job) and its got a huge 15" sub and some sort of 1000watt amp in the boot.

had a look underneath and all is very good (ALL THE COMMON AREAS ARE SPOT ON FOR NOW ATLEAST), only slight surface rust at the back so after a quick wire brush, etch primer and undersealer its now spot on just need to finish the rest . The MOT is in October so it may need the rear bushes doing #-o apart from that it is all good up front, the brakes are brilliant but needs both front hoses so might get braided if i can find out what calipers are on the car (dunno if they are cossie ones)
Thats the only silencer so its very fecking loud just hope the emissions will be ok.






Thats all for now, most of the next pics will be on Sundays mainly. Just undersealing, new springs all round, small amount of bodywork (proffessional job shortly) and mot next month so might need some poly bushes at the rear.


Comment welcome. Any advice on getting the ECU chipped or performance parts??
