My Escort Cossie :)
Well here she is finally photographed after a bit of spit and polish 
previously owned by cahhz of this board 
Its a 1996 small turbo with 30K miles.
It now has a stage 1 chip and upgraded fuel pump via TurboSystems for a little extra zip. The new year has the following on the shopping list new Koni's and a quick shift and it will be pretty much as I want it, he says!!!
Anyway heres the pics a bit of grey day unfortunately

hi andy she looks awesome, glad to see you looking after it!!!
so youve already staged 1d it??? what type of power does that bring? what does it feel like to drive?
lets hope the tuning doesnt bring you problems, as its been 100% reliable standard!!!
the evo is just something else i love it to bits infact i dont miss the cossie 1 single bit

Hi
Carl, yep it is
To be honest Byron I never gave it any beans prior to my visit to TurboSystems so its difficult to say what the difference is but I would guess around 40/50 horsepower difference LOL!!
The car sailed through the MOT although I had the front TCA bushes replaced as they were starting to look a bit crusty and there was a rubber mount missing from the exhaust, apart from that perfic
It drives lovely still, its deceptively quick due to the quick spooling turbo I think next year I'll get a new turbo with a 360 bearing to help a bit more! A set of Koni's will be going on early next year and a quick shift the only other thing I'm wrestling with is whether to put 18" comp MO's in white on there's no doubt it will look good but I like the standard alloys now as well
decisions decisions!
