just been out for a quick run with cossierich, and at one point i almost cried like a girl

boy does it go well!

well over 400bhp on a pretty mild engine spec (not sure what it is, rich?)

awesome grip even with all that power and a standard rear beam, boy those R888s are good!


Well done rich and well done Mr Shead

This Saph is such a good car, and it's not even big money/big spec - this is how cossies should all be

 

you should have bought a proper sapph aswell before you spunked your money on that 24v one and left a very sour taste in your mouth about them and maybe your opinions on them would have changed.

 

Jim,

ta mate. Hope this post makes people see that cossies can be made fast on a limited budget. Fucking brutal isnt it

 

sounds good

looking foward to having a ''play'' with rich

 

it does sound like a good car!

 

Well done Rich and Mark

Another happy MAD customer

 

Jim,

7.6:1, standard crank, standard rods, mahle 4x4 pistons, standard head ports, with bd14 inlet cam and standard exhaust cam

 

Nice one Rich made up for you pal

 

Well done mate sounds awesome

 

Helllloooooooooo sailor

 

Pleased to bits for you Rich, car is superb mate, enjoy..

Slim and Co..............

 

Very supprising isnt it, I always say all cossies are fast until you go in a fast one,
Rich's spec and the GT3071 works very well.

Mark

 

yes Staffi it is AWESOME.

Yours would have been as well so wanted to see yours running properly mate

 

whats the budget been then rich? what do you reckon its cost you to date for current spec, be interested to know - i thought i done my old one on a budget, but it wasnt as quick as yours (370ish)

 

Sure does, and thats thanks to you my friend

 

Why, where has Staffi's Saph gone?????

 

This post might change his mind again pmsl

 

Play with me or the car?

we must yes

 

dont be silly, he dont go over 3k on the Rev counter anyway...

 

im waiting to see what its like, it went awesomly well on the old spec, let alone the new one.

Rich knows full well how much i liked his car anyway, fookin' awesome


Rich, just for you mate

 

play with the car damn i worded that bad

 

Kelv,

you can have a drive when i see you next

 

swap keys for a short blast mate

 

Aye

None of your famous launches though please on mine

 

good to see she's back to her best matey.be good to see her going.

 

Sounds good rich, yeh ill hav a go aswell if the ofers there lol

 

They are good arent they when done properly.

Quickest car Ive driven was my mate Marts NMS 4x4 saff, that was on a GT30 and around 450bhp and foooook me

 

do you take the cos out when roads are wet rich? wondering how you get on with the R888's in the wet!

 

Rich, I look forward to some passenger action next time i see you

Whenever the fook that is

 

in a word no. i have been caught in the rain and its not great Damp roads are just the same as other tyres, its when the tyres are asked to clear a lot of water that things become treachorous

 

i know that feeling mate,and im 4wd although i still say the a048's i have are better in the wet than the techkings that were full tread on the mondeo

 

The most famous being sat next to Craig about to join the M25, it launched like a rocket until it snapped the main shaft in the box, then Matt towed me home

your right, none of those anymore

 

foooking animal!

 

I knew that turbo was going to deliver the goods, essentially the same spec as we run on Rob's astra, they are just AWESOME for a 2 litre engine, I dont know why more cossie owners dont seem to know they exist, lol

 

Belive me thats about to change.

Mark

 

had a play and a look at the motor at the weekend

it's very nice but i was faster in the mondy

 

At least five do

 

My derv is a 1.9litre, can I have one

 

if you dont mind saying how much has it all cost fella?

 

Up to Rich if he wants to post about that of course, but the price Rich got things for on this occasion isnt the same price they are generally available to people for, he got lucky with quite a few things.
