Hey people, you might of seen this at the ford fair but
this is for those that didnt my old man had to do a few bits
and bobs to it before the show so i grabbed this oportunity
to take a few snaps plus a little blast in it, its not a bad car,
its quick off the mark i will give it a s up

 

looks good!

whats the spec??

 

It was cosworths proto-type i havent got a clue of the spec not off
the top of my head sorry

 

was it on track at national day??

thats well sweet!

 

your new car is sweet too mate!

what happend to the escort idea??

 

what seats does it have. they look like all black frs seats but might just be the pic. more pics of this stunna please

 

Isn't this the actual prototype Cosworth built? DId you import the car or something???

Awsome motor!

 

Na didnt import, this is the prototype that was at the ford fair, cosworth sent it down for my old man to check it out before it went, the thing is that the car was brought over from the USA to try and sell the kits over here but what we found out was to start with its a 2.3 and we dont have a 2.3 litre focus over here so there mite be a little problem?????

Can anyone remeber the set of focuses that came out that brooklyn did i think it was 170, 190, 230 well that what my old man did that why we had the priviges of seeing this focus they were on top gear

 

Ah right, I see. Still, awsome motor to have.

But like you said, having the 2.3 might be a little problem? No parts in this country for it is there???

The 190 was a 1.8 Turbo I think...don't quote me on it though....

Top motor, sleeper!

 

The 2.3 engine is in the British Ford Galaxy!

 

would love to see the look at the Ford parts guy when u describe what the engine's in...he won't have a clue!

 

Heard of o few people dropping them into Mk5/6 RS2000's!

 

It's a 2.3l duratec HE (not same engine as galaxy) , it's the same engine as used in the caterham CSR260, and it is very similar the the 2.0l duratec HE used in the mk3 mondeo and the mk2 focus, lots of tuning companies use the 2.3, bits are not a problem.

It doesn't fit in the MK1 focus very well though, bit of an american botch job

 

I have those brakes and they are Tops

IMO Much better than the standard Brenbo RS ones

 

lovely motor

 

nice, shame about the LHD and base model spec (manual windows, drum rears etc)

 

Saw it at fordfair giving it some biguns

Was it not on eBay a while back?
