Cossied s2's
How much do these go for? 4wd or 2wd
I'm prob right in thinking its cheaper to buy one than build it. I'm seriously thinking about going mental and buying/converting one next year :top: I'm pretty sure my bank will have something to say tho :bat: |

Weird question do these cars actually handle well?
I would love a 4wd conversion, leaving it on standard wheels but I dont think i would enjoy the brakes! :cry: |
They do handle very well if you have the upgrades done that even the std Cosworth needs.
I have Adjustable TCA's compression struts instead of a rol bar, Avo coilovers GrpA rear beam i want to fit with decent brakes will make a monster with the engine :cool: |
I'm gonna have to start saving soon :cry:
Wish i lived closer so i could have a look at it mate |
HISTORY LESSON---------------
IN DAYS GONE BY THE POWERS THAT BE IN MOTORSPORT SAID-NO WING EXTENTIONS UNLESS MADE WITH THE CAR!!!(IE GROUP 4 ESCORT ETC!!) NO THIS NO THAT ETC ETC ETC SO A SMALL NUMBER OF COMPANIES DECIDED TO MAKE THERE OWN CARS AND DO WHAT THEY WANTED TO (AS A CAR MANUFACTURER YOU CAN DO THIS!! GOVENING BODY HAS JUST SAID IT!!!!!!! -HENCE THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PROTOTYPES/MANUFACTURERS ONE BEING GARTRAC -----NOT Q PLATES! ANOTHER LESSON DO YOU KNOW HOW HIGH WATT BULBS CAME ABOUT???????????????-NO!! WELL THE SAME GUVORNING BODY SAID YOU MUST REDUCE TO AMOUNT OF FORWARD FACING LIGHTS!! SO!! HENCE THE BIRTH OF HIGH WATT BULBS |
