Hi, couldnt see a new member section so iv thrown this in here.

As the title suggests iv just bought my first cosworth!

Im loving it so far although there are a few faults with it that i'll no doubt be asking for help on soon. Its a 91 Sapphire 4x4 & looks like this







Its covered 113k & has no rust!!

Coming from a scooby STI im loving the power delivery of the cosworth engine & the comfy as hell leather recaros!

Welcome

Car Looks nice

Should have gone for the manly 2wd Saph though suppose your used to gay 4x4 after owning a Scoob

 

looks great fella in a the proper colour as well

 

If i'd have went from the impreza to a 2wd saph it would be wrapped round a lamp post by now mate especially in this weather. Might work my way upto one after iv modded this

They do look sweet in the darker colours

 

Welcome mate and nice motor ya got there, Hope you keep loving it driving an old school classic, gotta feel better than ya old car.

 

Is that roosie's old saph ??

 

Welcome & I love the colour

 

Well done mate for getting a proper car. If you look after your cossie it will be ok. You just have to remember that these cars are old and will need money spending on them. They are a fun car to drive and alot safer than the 2wd. I think you have to be mad to drive a 2wd cossie, i would be shiting myself every time i came to a corner quick. I respect the owners of the 2wd cossies.

 

Thanks for the welcome

The car lived in Wales for a long time but was originally bought in Essex i think

 

very nice condition

if you are not totally sure of the service history, i would immediately do a cambelt, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, brake fluid and coolant change. could save you some money in the long run.

for oil, use silkolene pro s from opie oils don't be using shit like castrol rs or mobil 1 imo

 

welcome, ar looks very nice


shouldnt be long before you see this sight though

 

Its got Castrol RS in at the minute, was changed just before i bought it! Whats the matter with it? The cambelt looks pretty new but i might get it done to be safe.

cheers

 

lol its booked in at the garage already mate! Started making a knocking noise from the n/s wheel, sounds like the drive shaft.

Whats up with yours like?

 

its running sweet at the mo, just a pic after i blew the head gasket because 1 of the 14 year old water hoses split

Hello n welcome 2 the world of cosworth ownership, u will love it, they r a pain in the ass at times but as said above they r old cars now, keep it well maintained n it will b fine.

glad u saw the light n crossed over from a scooby

 

Im with foreign rs on this, get a service into it as it might save you some cash in the future


I`d also phone the bank manager and give him plenty of notice about the money you will be borrowing shortly



Part from that welcome and enjoy a classic
