Hello all,

So ive finally bought my first ever Cosworth!

After about 16 years of craving for one tomrrow ill have my very own "Cosworth"

Its a moonstone Sapphire 4wd (Converted to 2wd) running a stage one spec with "LEVEL 8 ECU, BAYOO CHIP, 3 BAR MAP, GREEN INJECTORS, T34 TURBO, UPRATED ACTUATOR, 500 STYLE INTERCOOLER"

nice leather and looks very clean. 17" TSW imolas so cant wait! will put a pic on here when i get her nut just had to shout about it!!



P.s - regarding the engine spec, any advise what might be the best route forward - not that im craving more power straight away but just so i know my options on the best way forward to get to a stage 3!

 

Sounds good, pop up some pics mate!

 

that is "stage 3" mate 320-350bhp depending on health and setup

get some pics up, all the nooks and crannys we like to see aswell hehe

 

Really.... That will do nicely then!

Pics tomorrow after a good caining!

 

My advice would be, leave it as it is, it's your first Cosworth you say? Get used to it, enjoy AND most importantly keep it reliable

You already have a nice Spec there

 

check the oil every time you take it out for the first few months mate, they do catch you out!!

and since its new to you check under it for any leaks etc as belive it or not people lie or dont tell you stuff when selling cars

and ENJOY IT!!

 

Sounds good ill be there soon owning my first cossie,

Take what the previous owner says with a pinch of salt and give it a once over yourself checking all fluids ETC

 

Shes on the ramps first job. from what i saw when i went to see it it was clean and solid but proofs in the pudding!

Now to tell the missus....ahem

 

last one i bought i got bought up with my mate on a truck, big power etc etc

rear wheel was loose and wobbled, crank pulley bolt was finger tight and the cable for the TVs in the headrest kept getting so hot the seats would smell funny!!

so have a little look mate, then THRASH IT

 

Congrats matey.Look after the car and it will look after you.

 

Good luck with it mate. Feels amazing first time you drove your own Cossie. If ur not used to turbo'd rwd then be very careful if it's damp lol

 

Hope it lives up too your expectations and sounds a nice spec

 

Cant wait to see some photos, welcome to Cosworth ownership

 

I hope u like it mate.. Keep it as it is till u get used to it!!!!

 

You are about to enter the biggest love/hate relationship imaginable! Good luck!


No seriously, sounds great, all we need now is pics.

 

I rally cars for my past time so the whole love hate is the story of my life, will fit right I'm with a cossie haha

 

You'll be right at home with a cossie then!

 

Well done fella looking forward to seeing some pictures

 

Congrats mate, must feel AWESOME!

First thing I'd do is take it somewhere and get the fuelling checked out before giving it loads of right foot

 

You sound similar to me. Wanted a Saph since i was 13, now i'm 25 and the insurance wasn't stupid i treated myself to one.

 

I'd take big lukes advise and get the fuel and boost checked.
And what about timing belt, get that changed too

 

I think I saw the car in question on eBay a few days ago. Congrats on owning one, still going to be a long, grueling wait before I can afford to insure one let alone buy one.

 

Awesome mate, bought my first saph in February, I love it.... enjoy it mate look after it..

 

Well done mate, i'm sure you'll love it. For years i promised myself an RS. In the late 80s i promised myself an S1 RS Turbo when i had an XR3i - never got one, a few years later i promised myself either a 3 door or a Saph Cossie - never got one as i was going through my sensible car ownership period (all Fords by the way) then last year i took the plunge and bought an RS Focus which i wish i had done years ago, i'd still love a Cossie though but we'll have to see about that.
Hope you enjoy it mate and don't forget the piccys.

 

Pics please and well done lad.

 

Well done mate ! It are great cars. Enjoy ownership and post some pictures of your pride and joy

Greets

 

Give it a careful once over, then have fun! That is the whole point of having this type of car! - Just don't get caught having too much fun!

 

Come on mate where is it!!!

 

Massivley impressed...Strong engine, Boosts hard and so much i can see shes very solid underneath!!

A few pics...

 

 

Pics not come out very well from photobucket but you have an idea.... Awesome car!

Looks well that mate enjoy !

 

Yes mate!
Sex on wheels right there !
Look after her

 

Cheers lads, so different to big power n/a engines

 

lovely car, good spec!

thats a sapphire 2000E steering wheel, not a cossie one (better as it matches the dash on Cloth interiors IMO)

and im not a fan of super T`s on saffs as they "tuck in" rather than have a dish

otherwise bang on for me

get some badges on the boot, everyone knows its a Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth, if youve got it........... flaunt it!!

 

think they are immolas arent they? similar to super T's though

 

Nice one mate, bought my first cossie in June. Assume its a weekend car?
Can't wait for Saturday mornings now hoping its not wet..if not, straight out!

 

it looks a subtly nice car although i dont think the alloys suit it.

 

Nice car there great fun and once you love them you will alway love them.
Just not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing lol
