Cossie powered ones are so much fun

Just a few pics, but not very good



The green one was a 2dr MkV, fitted the 24v cossie when i first got it as the red one had the cossie turbo engine



I then had a little off



Then fitted the cossie turbo in the green one. Had both at the same time.

I have asked

Steve

 

That looks in bloody good nick that mate, looks nice on the minilites aswell.

Here's a link to mine that i'm currently restoring with YB power. Cossie4i is keeping a close eye on it for me.

Incidentally, I bet that hurt when you stuffed the red one? Bloody hell.

I had a blow out at high speed and hit the barrier and spun round about 6 times.

Only had a small bruise

Steve

 

And who says old cars are unsafe if it was a modern car it would have ended in 2 bits

Paul

 

Theres is some on here but i would'nt what to bore you as its a mk 3

cossie4i is the man who's been there seen it and wore the T shirt

Paul

 

Ah yes but Jamie if you old man's sis answered her door he would have had one i had and prob the whole car LHD 2 door mk 5 taunus with spoilers and both remote mirrors/sunroof etc

Paul

 

what yah recon now its been lowered

 

Looks nice, how far you dropped it and on whos springs? Sits nicely

 

that looks sweet.is it a carousel or crusader.mine was a carousel 1.6.sold it to buy my old mk3 escy back...again.lol

 

Looks loads better now

What are your plans for it ?

Steve

 

It looks better now that its been lowered.

 

its had brand new heavy duty springs and shocks all round so for now i just chopped a coil off the springs an im going to get some thing abit better anybody got any ideas of what to get

 

Rally Design for springs

Paul

 

Only down the road from me, used to get most of my uprated parts from them

Steve

 

Bloody dam good placeno doubt i will be on the blower in the near future

Paul

 

tahh matey ive been on burton's website and im thinking of getting the gaz shocks n springs.

 

Right then i've used both so heres my verdict

Gaz good adjustment but corrode easy (mine after 500 miles)
Spax excellent shox not so easy to adjust but lasted and looked good for over ten years

Spax are more expensive but imo well worth it

Paul

 

hermmm desisions but it looks like im going to take the spax route then

rep added for that mate

 

No worries glad to help and give advice i've had mine for over 14 years now and been cossied for just over 9 years been throu many mods some good some bad but this time around it will be as i want it(sort of)


Paul

 

Had spax on mine as well with Rally design springs

Steve

 

What

 

you need to finish that question steve

Paul

 

Computer said NO

No idea what i was going to ask now

Steve

 

That is mint. I love it.

 

tah mate

 

Any more updates thern.
