Cossie dave? What a weapon

 

Yea, what a weapon.

wasn’t expecting him to sound like a farmer though

I noticed he never handed the keys over though, probably a sensible choice tbf

 

Lol cant see him paying up if he binned it he broke a diff on an rs6 "they can take more than that cant they" 😂

 

Be like that wedding video where the bride gets in and the driver tries to show off and sends it into the wall iirc

what size tyres has he squeezed under the arches? Will they take 255’s? This time of year though holding 750bhp on the deck is going to be fun, I bet it feels savage on boost just like it’s mentioned on the video.

his comment of “this is a real 750bhp” made me laugh, just goes to show that some of the cars have exaggerated figures, but I do know the Cossie lump really punches you old school style.

one of the reasons I love driving my S4 and the 2.7tt engine has old school turbo delivery which makes it feel that bit faster.

 

amazing car

 

They are 235 40 18 cant go any bigger as 255 will touch the coil over nut 😡

 

lol mate yes it's me
he said he wouldn't want to drive it 🤣🤣

 

😂😂 I can talk I’m a brummy so hardly the best of accents anyway 😂😂

It sounds awesome on boost 😎 you know your in for a good time when you hear that gearbox whine.

i can’t believe it’s on 235’s no wonder it’s lively, I couldn’t remember what I had fitted to my mk5 but iirc it was in fact 205’s and not 225’s

hope your good anyway? still haven’t had my s4 painted 🤦🏻‍♂️ but it’s been to a few shows and I’m enjoying it when I can be arsed to drag it out so all’s good 👍

 

Amazing car dave great to see it in action is the front diff quaffe with thick wall casing? 3.6 or 3.9? What clutch did you go for to cope with that power?

 

its a 3.6 but looking for a 7.5 rear at 3.9 6 paddle ap std front diffcase with quaife inturnles

 

All good mate thanks

 

Top car dave mate , hope you're well.

 

all good thanks mate

 

Good to hear mate .

 

proper piece of kit an absolute weapon and driven how they should be, if i was ever lucky enough to own an escos this is how i would want it to end up

 

Awesome Dave!
the video picked up the sound well when it's at full chat sounds mental and looks like it's really accelerating very quickly. Proper job

 

That sounds mean

Is that wastegate pipe to exhaust or open ?

 

open mate 👍👍

 

Amazing video, glad to see I'm not the only one with double hoop earings still these days mega mega looking car and obviously top work all round.

 

Proper car this. Sadly these days people arnt building cars like this. They just go out and get chuckyed up on new cars.

 

I am lol and hopefully early 2020 will see me back on it now my house is finished and mark has the long studs that he was waiting on. I’ll be using the turbo down from what’s on this escort. Mine will also be on solid lifters. Can’t wait that escort is a credit to its owner. To me that’s what cosworths are about savage power fook all this going back to standard shit lol

 

Thankyou

 

What power you aiming for mate ? You going with a 8374 ?

 

How much boost you running for 755 hp mate ?
Is it on an efr 9180 ?

 

650-680 ish I’m still on a standard crank so that will be the limit. 200 block proper liners marks spec rods and pistons. Mark had a turbo in mind so I’ll go with that. 9180 would be a waste if I can get the power I want with a lesser one.

 

I agree with you about the standard set up, to me it would be boring. Mine is nowhere near what yours will be but as soon as I got mine 25 years ago I started modifying it! cossiedave has got the ultimate Escos and must have so much fun humbling "supercars" at a fraction of the cost.!!

 

The youtuber bloke was saying "this is a true 750" and he couldn't believe how quick it was compared to other 500+ cars he had been in....he needs to understand power to weight ratio better...a new Skyline is much heavier than a 1200kg Cossie.

 

I watched that Escos YouTube video a while back and the guy has done quite a few others, all standard'ish looking cars with mega power. Good watch!

 

That will be savage fast on the road. Up on the move it will definitely be 1000cc bike fast. Proper Sunday afternoon fun lol

 

yes hes drove some monsters mate he did majiks escos aswell

 

Lovely car this is, proper power too.
All it needs now is a sequential box to finish it off

Cheers Paul

That would be the icing on the cake but having said that Dave seemed ok with the current gearbox in the video.What a beast!!!

 

My sisters other half has a BMW 435i petrol and he thinks his bm will kill my cossie. My cossie is a hell of a lot lighter and it has more power too. He might kill me on the corners though ha ha.

 

I'm looking forward to you starting the build matey.

 

Have you got a sequential on yours yet Paul ?

 

Such an awesome car.

Has it done a 100-200kph or 60-130mph time?

 

Looking at the way it picked up in the video it would be bloody quick!!!

 

10 second car I recon. a guy in Malta with a focus cossie with 650 is low 10's. Dave any plans to run it down the pod? Yours v Karl's clash of the titans I'd watch that 😎 I know Karl's not into racing though but pods not about that ahem lol

 

Do people tend to use a 60+mph long first and then tightly stack the rest of the gears or does a big power turbo car need longer gears to pull against? on a road car.

 

I think pete uses the 2wd ratios hence why 1st is so long
