Good man, get cracking now

 

cheers lad

one sierra is bad enough but 2 is a real headache lol

 

4x4 cossy front brakes



xr4x4 rears



cheers

 

Nice project feela.It should go really well with this engine in.

 

yeah it is a quick car, should be a fun daily

 

Nice project. What ECU are you running with the BOB?

 

BOA ecu with chip

 

Great project

A word of caution on the gearing though, 3.14:1 diffs and a taller 5th gear will almost certainly be too high for the engine to pull.

EDIT to add. I did not know that a front diff was available with that ratio ??

Keep the pics coming.

Mark

 

cheers mark

yeah they came in the 2.0 twincam 4x4 models i think

 

trev,the diff,s are 3.62 front and rear,

 

oh thats rite, its kierans that is 3.14.

sorry folks

17s on there, when the 15s go on there will be a great improvement

cheers

 

Gave the car a well deserved wash today an tidied it up abit.

bought a black bumper and fitted my 3 door cosworth bumper just to test fit it, as im looking for a FG one.

also fitted the 3 door cossy alloys, recaro d/s and lowered it.

Still need to source a black saph bonnt and grille. and fit my GLSI rubber spoiler:P

Enjoy

 

another pic from the rear

the wheels are seriously cambered but there are no shocks or springs

 

Great project - loved my 24v xr4x4. They make really good little motors with the cossie v6.

 

absolutley bulletproof aswell and the noise and torque is immense

well i cant wait to get the spax adjustables fitted and fit the escos brakes, will be really nice to drive


What are the best lowering springs for these aswell?

ive been looking at the spax 40mm items and are reasonably priced??

cheers

 

the 3dr rear bumper isnt staying on it is?

 

no using it on my 3 door

but if another one comes up il be buying it, i think they suit it spot on


why mate?

 

I had 4wd cossie brakes front and rear on my
one and really improved the braking. I had to fit 4wd cos hubs on the front though in order to fit the brakes.

 

if i can get a rear set cheap enough il fit them aswell but only need the fronts in the meantime.


will make a great improvement over standard anyway

 

My old sierra ended up in ireland.I wonder if its still alive.Ive got a funny feeling its dead.

I know a lad who had a cossie V6 in his sierra estate and he said it is as fast as a proper cossie.

 

yeah if it came here it probably ended up on its roof somewere

well ive only ever been in a stage one cossy, injectors, filter and chip

and the 24v is miles faster, the torque is always there on tap and dont need to worry about them as much.

i wouldnt see myself ever turning to yb, i think my next car will be a twin turbo 24v BOA. reliable power for little money

 

Such a shame if it is dead.I loved that car and wish i stll had it.

Yb cossies arnt as bad as people make out.Its just old technology.

 

no there a great engine, just seem that more things happen to them and are usually quite costly to keep and pay for.

 

is mine 3.14? it seems to go pretty well with it lol

 

becuase mk1 bumpersa do not suit a mk2 car lol

everything else is fine and looking good bar the back bumper i think

is it still 4wd or is it now rwd

 

everyone to their own, but im still looking for a mk2 hatch bumper and cant find one!

its 4wd, keeping the 3 door rwd

 

do you have the front diff to match the 3.14 rear or have you altered the chain in the gearbox?

for bumpers go http://forum.fordsierraclub.co.uk/in...b00dadfbf682dd someone always breaking sierras

 

the diffs are 3.64, i said 3.14 by mistake but edited it.

wouldnt want to get into the hassle of shipping costs to N.I, parts always get damaged.

 

yeah but a bumper is gona be pretty hard to damage considering how flexible they are

 

well id be happier seeing it in person and knowing exactly what i have

 

if theres no springs or shock on the rear what is it sitting on cuz they dont sit that high with fuck all under there?

 

also about brakes

cossie 4wd rear wont fit unless you change the hubs to cossie aswell

for the fronts a cheap upgrade is use 2wd cossie discs and 4wd cossie calipers and pads, will bolt straight on and you get to use the bigger disc off the 2wd, will save loads as you dont have to buy cossie front hubs

 

no nothing fitted 2 main chassis bolts to get it shifted around

 

yeah i know mate.

cheers

 

anyway spent a few hours at it today and fixed all the surface rust.

cleaned it then gave it a few coats of red oxide.

will paint it gloss black on saturday so finished pics then

Hope u enjoy!
