Default Found the Sapphire lol, First drive out for 2016

Every year I tax the Cosworth at the beginning of April, and for 6 months its on the road.
This year it sat covered up in the garage, nicely tucked away.
So finally thought it was time it saw the light of day, so taxed the Sapphire and took it for a drive and some photos.
Plans for this year are to fit the rear brake setup (330 discs, bigger callipers) which currently reside in the boot.
Any excuse for some pictures

Nice one Jase, good to see the car out and about, cool pic.
What brakes/caliper set up do you have for the fronts? I'm looking for something for my sapp, I know there are a few various makes and sizes that will fit, mine is 2wd though.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
I do enjoy having the cars but don't have the enthusiasm I had a few years ago.
But won't be selling them either.

Lee,
The brakes are actually Hi Spec, but I badged them as Brembo because when I painted them I couldn't etch the logo in.
Front discs are 370mm, and the rears (when I fit them) are 330mm

I'm sure I've said this before Jason but she is a stunner

Every time I take mine out I think 'now why didn't I do this sooner'

I also took the 3dr out yesterday for the first time since October lol.


Done 57 trouble free miles, it was nice to feel some turbo torque again even if mine is only a stage 1

Massive discs Jase, I won't be going that big as I will be getting a 17" wheel, not 18".
thanks for the info, I will give Hi spec a call for some info and prices.

Thanks again. Lee.
