As I dont know alot about them like some of you plp Im interested to know the following.......

Basicly next yr I mite be in the position to buy a saff cosworth .Now which one would be the best ie 2wd or 4wd ,is the 2wd cheaper to get hold of parts like gear boxs etc or isnt there much in it between the 2.

Was leather available in both or just in 4x4s?

And if i ran it around standard bhp mayb up it later on to say 250bhp.would i have much trouble wiv the standard engine parts,and at which point do they let go.

Sorry for all the questions

 

cossies are only unreliable if they dont get the correct treatment for em when they go wrong (ie bodge em and sell on )


also they are at a price now where people can buy em and cain the living tits out of em and then sell on when thee bored or banned


where abouts ya from as if ya wanna test one out and ya local, ill left ya take mine for a gentle spin, just be carefull with it

 

Hes from Chetenham ginge, hes been witness to me hooning round like a madman but he never actually went in my car, but he seen what they can do

Get one Daz

Id say 2wd as i like sliding round everywhere like an idiot, as you well know

I dont like 4wd, but its good, just more likely to break somthing (just less likely to crash it, lol), ant not as fast (as long as you got grip!) casue of more transmission losses in 4wd.

Leather is available on both.

Youl be VERY lucky to find a std one mate, most will be at least stg1 chipped which is 270bhp. 300-330bhp on green inj and 23psi is usualy about as reliable as a std car if the engines good n its looked after, and can get that power on std turbo n engine.

Get one get one get one

 

steve good advice there as normal



deffo a good thing, but can really do ya head in and get ya really depressed if they do brake down

but ya go on a natural buzz when ya get out ya runabout after drving it for a week and get in ya cossie for the weekend

 

all i can say is get1. 2wd is great on dry days (and slightly wet ) but for a every day car i prefeur my 4x4 as its easy 2 drive lol and its predictable, where as 2wd can be a bit unpredictable at times if your not paying attention, or not used 2 big power rear wheel drive cars

 

lol, dazza mate if i can insure one,i'm getting one in april matey!

 

Cheers lads

I was gonna look for a 2wd anyway but just wasnt sure.Ive never been in one well apart from the blokes over the road .but thats a none runner cam belt went about 3yrs ago and its been sat there ever since.shame as he is the only owner of it.got it from bristol street when the 4x4 first came out .

Had a sit in it the other day and it dont seem a massive car like i thought.

All i can do is save me ŁŁŁ and sell both rs 2000 next yr and see wots on the market.

 

see if he wants to sell the 4x4, could build yourself a very nice engine if he lets it go for sensible money

 

he wont! daz has tried again and again,and again!!


...the bloke wont.

but it does need some minor cosmetic bits doing, but it is very very original!

 

id go for 4x4 if you havnt drived rwd before

 

us houdl come down to bristol group owners meet this month its on the 9th @ mcdonalds at cribbs causeway

i will take you out in mine

 

My hilux was rwd

Nah ive tried buying the 4x4 but he wont let it go.shame tho, last time i looked under the bonnet all 4 pots were full of water as hes taken the head off it.The heads in his bk garden sumwhere

Mite take you up on that craign.cripps int that far. next thursdays kool

 

Get one you wont regret it!!!

 

look after your car and it will look after you, unless you buy a shit heap to start with...

 

i'd say geta 4x4 for your first one, as i had a 4x4 first and loved it to bits, now have gone to a 3dr is scares the shit outa me!

But if you do go 2wd, be very careful as they are a handful in the damp/wet

 

they are but they are fuuuuun cribbs is awesome many roundabouts lots of room and dual carraige ways i will show u what she can do

 

i prefare 2wd..not because ive got one i went out in both and ended up with the 2wd cant realy say why just think its more fun ...ps they were both availible with leather
