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:

Unless you can do the fab work yourself etc I wouldnt build one
It costs shit loads more than you think if you are paying someone else to do it.
Wait for one to come up for sale :top:

yer u can just copy how the xr3 has been done :cool:

so many figures so many pies :cry:

roro22 Sep 9, 2007 12:46 PM

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:

Versus_Creations Sep 9, 2007 02:30 PM

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:

roro22 Sep 9, 2007 03:13 PM

I'm gonna have to start saving soon :cry:
Wish i lived closer so i could have a look at it mate
