Default Big Thanks To Mark Shead

The Cossie is on the road again, better than ever

Did some mapping yesterday, only 2 bar of boost - it's insane! Puts all the power down in second, even tries to grip in first, never dreampt it was possible, should be mid 7's to the ton!

Big thanks to Rod, Dean and Dave Moss, and John and the lads at FCM Motorsport Bristol (the ginger tosser).

Just need to fit the AP's on the front and sort the breather system out and we're ready to go again. Simpsons 3.5 inch exhaust is mental, 105db at 3000rpm, sounds crazy!

It just gets better!

Engine let go again at the Daddy Thrash '06 (went at Daddy Thrash '05 first time), been rebuilding it since then. Grips really well with the new rear beam, mental!

Hi Dan, it's great to have the old girl on the road again. Must be a year since you saw her, when your Escort was at FCM for the clutch and brakes. Was great to meet you mate
