Default 1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. From the begining to the begining.. Many pictures!

Hi,

In 2005 i bought my cossie, imported from Italy same year.

Engine spec 2005 : Unknown 270 chip and homemade exhaust from org. downpipe.

Suspension 2005: KYB shocks and unknown springs.

Wheels : 15" OZ racing F1 with 205-50-15 Goodyear Ealges F1.

Other: 18mm spacer.

In this tread I'll show the history of my car from i bought it. Now it's parked in the garage for a total repair for the next 3 years. If every thing goes how I've planed it, it will be finish when the season of 2013 begins, with 110% finish over all!

I will add pics now and then from this 5 years, step by step, and hope you'll like it, even if it not so extreme so the others threads

I'll start with the sales pics.

2005

I then got it home, and some changes where done the same day. For information, all the lights is now original again



New blinkers and taillights, all white.






New polys. At first only in front, but later I changed at the rear as well..


New Turbogroove brakedisc and Redstuff brakepads.




Compomotive MO6 was bought 8x17 ET35.




And then new paint where the next thing to do..

2007 is started!


To my big suprise, it's wasn't no 7,5" diff, it's was an 7" diff with small axels and small brakedisc. Probably from ĺ sierra 2,9 or something simular. Not good!
But, I still drive on it, so it have been holding on..hehe..


New polys and Eibach springs. The Eibach where mounted with adjustebal Koni.

Then I went for a dyno pull .. Spec where now 3" blueflame and still the unknown chip and pressure 0,8bar.




223,9 whp @ 0,8bar


Then, before a weekend @ Gatebil Rudskogen 2007 i made som stereo. To day, this is all taken out and I just have an cd-player, that's all. But still, here is it.


Interior






The blueflame tip is a littlebit to long.. Will fix that in te coming years now.. The tip is btw 3,5"


Because of sky high taxes on imported cars, I had to wait sometime to get it registerd, but late in 2007 I hade enough money and took the car to a control, and paid. In Ł it had been about Ł5000, only for the reg. plates. FUCK THE TAXES!






And that was the last of 2007... 2008 is coming soon.

My sunroof is where it should be, not on the car It's the cheaper version without, but have electric windows and central locking (or what it's called?)

Saves some kg
