My good old Cosworth that's been sitting in a barn for the last 12 years. Decided to give it some TLC and fire it up again. Originally planned to sell it, but the Cosworth passion has been rekindled... Just put on some 17" wheels today.

 

Fair play just in time for summer

 

Noce one matey. Whats it feel like to drive after 12 years. What wheels are they.

 

Thanks

It feels just like it did 12 years ago! Amazingly, allmost everything works (heater fan is not working, haven't checked fuses or anything yet). Rear seal on transmission is leaking though. Have gotten a new one that I shall put on soon. It's a light and fun car. But time has moved on as well. My other car is a BMW F10 5-series with a straight six (petrol), Eibach springs and M5 competition pack sway bars running on 255/285 tires... The BMW is a good 600kg heavier, which you can feel on the Nurburgring, but it's "a bit" more refined...

The wheels are actually Focus ST170 7x17 wheels from my sons previous ST170. Had them lying around and just painted them white to see how they looked. Offset is wrong (ET49) so I have ordered spacers f/r (10mm/20mm). It sits on 5mm spacers f/r on the photos.

 

Nice one, looks cool

Wish I had a big barn like that, I'm sure I'd fill it with old cars though...

 

Stunning mate, that car just deserves to be driven and shown off to everyone else .

 

Thanks

If all goes to plan, the car will see the Nurburgring this summer...

 

Thanks!

My 15 year old sons 1986 Pontiac Fiero sits there now as well as a 1952 Ferguson tractor. The entire family use it for working on cars and other stuff

 

nice car but have the doors been changed as its got metal silver window trims and the wrong side strips?

 

Thanks, and well spotted The car is built on a std Sapphire shell without a sunroof. Hence the wrong trim on the doors. Going to get that fixed over the next few weeks as well.
