LOL i hope so mate, ive got a jap atm and although its fast its kinda dull not having to lift the bonnet

PT

If you dont want that get an esc cos. Only doleys and people who live on council estates own 3 doors and saffs

charlie boy

How much does a good motorsport escy cos go for now please mate?

PT

Motorsports command less money usually. You could prob get a right shit heap for Ł9500. A good base imo would be 14k

PT

good man

charlie boy

How often are they seen for sale? ive looked at a couple of 3doors but tbh they have been real dogs and the owners still ask shit loads

35K will NOT buy and build you a good spec 500bhp cossie from a standard base car IMHO unless its a RWD one.

Buy one done.

charlie boy

I would be doing all the work myself (garage owner you see) so it would just be parts

charlie boy

Thats one good thing about my evo, loads of bits and they cost feck all

4x4

fucking hell, whats wrong with the bonet? you can grate your chesse on it

charlie boy

I like it tbh but the power seems kinda low to me for a 35r

this seems a great base for the money

wonder how much he wants for it

gingeRS

get your self a real minter 2wd saff for about 6-7k and go to town on it

500+bhp and RWD = multiple grin factor

4wd and 500bhp is pretty awesome, but you need to spend serious money on transmission and diffs etc.

or you could speak to steve scott about one of his 'ready to accept cossie running gear' focus shells he fabricates, they are

i bought my car for Ł8000 a 2wd saff v clean 450 bhp with 500 miles on new nms engine will hopefully be 480 once run in and live mapped. coilovers, big brakes, secs and defi link and even a spark plug in the exhaust
i could never build my car for anywhere near that amount.
just a quick example from my reciepts, for everything brand new t4 turbo, gearbox rebuild, new block with all gaskets seals bearings pistons with machining, wrc hgasket, and intercooler, oil cooler, larger rad and turbo pre cooler just that is Ł4600 ! and theres no labour in that and thats just the begining youve got a head rebuild, porting, injectors, air to air, water injection its never ending would cost a fortune and youl never get it back.
im on my fifth cossie now in 5 years and ive done about 15000 miles between them and after part xing my last saph to north yorks rs spares as shed broke her back i was roughly Ł1000 down and that includes repairs and tuning but not tyres and fuel. just my two pennence worth. good luck with whatever you do mate

Build yourself a nice 500 bhp RWD Escort Cossie

Madbradz

Your mad..... 35k on a Ford.....

Csm

Best Cosworth ???

A model cosworth ,its the only fooker that wont break ...........maybe

on a serious note

escort has the looks
saph 4x4 good track weapon
2wd saph big horse power and rwd is the best choice
rwd 3 door is a car that should be pampered and left factory
