As per title really, would that kinda money buy a nice spec 2wd saff cossie, clean with lots of power and modded parts?

Cheers Paul

 

absolutley ,you would get a top notch saff for that money

 

I'm talking really modded, big power, diff, box...

Cheers Paul

 

Yes , you missed out on the magenta one that daft Asian cunt bought and thrashed about Birmingham

 

i would say you could get a 500 monster for that kind of money

 

It should do but good luck finding one, every time i change my car i look for a nice cossie but nothing ever seems to come up thats any good. Did a 7 hr round trip to look at a 3 door this week and it was total junk, as have all the others ive looked at

 

Offffffft , now now Neph

 

Paul,

On a serious note, make sure it's been built by some respectable tuner AND this is the important part, have half as much money again put aside incase things go wrong, they can be costly

 

You should do, but every time I've seen a good spec saph go for sale its a breaking add.

 

Really KSA? Sounds interesting...?
That's the kind of idea James!
As Steve says not many come up...?

Cheers Paul

 

Should of bought dans

 

I'd rather sell mine complete than break it

 

Dan wont sell his mate, i would buy it if he would seriously sell it

 

You can have mine for 12k lol.

You will get a minter with a good spec for that amount of money.

Im waiting for someone to say "why do you wanna spend 12/14k on an old sierra.

 

It's a bout time some one has realised you can't buy a high specced Saph for under 10k

 

All good replies guys.
Not saying I'm after a mint one as I do wanna use it and not just have it as a show piece, but a nice car with plenty of spec or scope for for further modding.
I do also appreciate things can get expensive when they do break....

Cheers Paul

 

there are people around here paying 10k+ for fuckin corolla gt coupes that were clean rottin 20 years ago lmao
so 12/14 for a high spec saff is bad imo, at least they ve power lol

 

10k for a corolla?? Fook that lol.

 

For 12k you could have a 3dr.It needs a bit of tlc and needs to be trailered away according to the ad.

I decent specced saff.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Ford-...item48682f3d8f

 

With them two cars for example Glenn, you won't get a decent well specced 3dr for that money, they are all 15-16+ easy.
That one looks ok but is fairly standard, I would need to throw thousands and thousands at it!
Same with that saff, it's basically just a stage 3, to turn it into 450-500hp with all the additional bits it's another 15k on that

Cheers Paul

 

There isnt that many cossies on ebay tbh. I had a look on auto trader foe you too and there isnt any decent specced saffs on there either.

There is a XR4x4 turbo technics sierra for 10k lol.

 

why do you wanna spend 12/14k on an old sierra .

Seriously think long & hard about spending that much money on an old Ford.
Spending 3 times that may get you a really decent spec car with all the parts to make it reliable. Read these pages to see how many run these cars at high spec for a long period most buy, realise it cost a fortune & forget the dream or chug around without using its potential.

 

I've thought about it for ages Rod, but all other stuff I've driven and cars that mates have including evos. Nissans, old rwd escorts etc just don't do it for me...
I realise they go wrong and are expensive to maintain and run etc but it's 100% what I want.
I've had Cossies and rsts most of my driving life and love em hence deciding to want a big power saff now.
I think if it's modded right it will be reasonably reliable anyways but I'm not shy of doing work on it myself and changing stuff/tinkering with it as I enjoy that.
And it will def be driven as it should trust me, hence I'm not after a mint or concourse car.

Cheers Paul

 

Good attitude to have Paul

 

Nail on the head Daniel lol

 

AE86's are just as iconic as Cosworths, hence the price tag.

 

Try Jay, he might part with his.

Steve

 

hope mine will be reliable! when I get the engine! I'm looking at about 450 Harvey Gibbs built! but defo kart not cheap but it's a full build!

Nearly same as mine , is it a t38 then

 

yeah will be, is yours from Harvey?

 

Parts , head and map was

 

Sounds a nice spec,
You got uprated diff going in to buddy?

Anyone know the max power of a T38 out of interest?

Cheers Paul

 

Hi mate magenta saph birmingham shed some light will you?

 

Hiya mate, the guy posted videos of him and an M3 driving like cocks on residential streets and motorways, there was a big thread in here about it, was a lovely saph.

 

Depends on what Spec T38 it is Paul and engine Spec too

 

I knew Rod would say something lol. It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

My cossie has been really reliable in my owner ship.Well it wasn't for the first few months.Its been spot on for 8 years now.

 

G plate one sold on here early last year? cut out bumper big brakes etc etc?

If its the one I am thinking of I see it at combe really nice car.

 

Biggest problem you have with good saffs that are high power with all the bits on them is if the owners are still into them they won't sell them.
If there not into them they want to brake them to get more money
