Few Q's on bits for Car
Been surfin the web for parts and bits for the escort and came accross a RS500 COSWORTH RADIATOR AND INTERCOOLER for £230 Item number: 250068179702 Is there any reason i should not buy this for my cossie?
I also need a passenger side Hocky Stick there is a Fiber Glass Replica set for £9.99 has anyone brought a set? "whos gonna admit that" other than that anyone know where i can get a genuine set / single from?
anyone know anything about 2 stage boost or have it for that matter on there escort cosworth? i had it on my escort turbo i vaigly remember it being a switch that would turn the amal valve off "might be wrong was about 8 years ago" anyway i was thinking somthing along the lines of mild to wild at the flick of a switch?
i did once read on here about closed loop lambada ect but cant find it anyone got a link to the topic anyone? I have done a search looking for the original where Stu@MSD explained it all! Anyone here got it whats your thoughts Good what sort of money did it cost you?
Sorry for all the questions but save me doing topic after topic asking a number of question thought i may aswell ask them all in one place
Cheers Ben

that intercooler looks quiite small, i should find a proper esc cos one it will be a few inches longer,also if you have aircon that set up will not fit anyway, dont buy the f/glass hockey stick unless you can try it for fit,i got some once for a previous car and it took me all day to get them to fit anything like,loads of sanding filing etc and they still looked shit! and were too narrow, orig ford ones are also f/glass,but top quality as you would expect for £80 odd apiece

Do you know of anywhere where i can get a genuine one?
do you think the intercooler will make that muchg diffrents being a bit smaller i cant see it being that much smaller as its right upto the brackets and i havent got Aircon so that wont stop it im going for arround 400BHP no more if you think this setup wont be sufficiant then ile blank it and look else where just the price looks sooo good
"just has the worst 4 hours of my life lost the keys to the new car and ripped the house to shreds found them behind the fridge" (howd they get there? fuck knows)

and could tell without even fitting them that they were PONY.
tried it on the car and the fit was no where near
would not recommend them
