its mad that cossie prices have overtaken skyline prices in the ten years I've been out of the ford scene.

My escort cossie box cost £250 when I broke it back in 200. Whatever it was And a skyline box would have cost 10 times that back then. Now it appears that prices have reversed (almost).

I paid £4.5k for my os box and as much as it is inherently stronger, it's the long first gear that makes the biggest difference imo. I get 55 in first and have clocked 0-60 in 3.2 on road tyres on the road (vbox with no rollout).
