Im sure Euan would of told Karl , but its similar to mine so i know

Scott dout i will be anywhere near the Scoob but hopefully mine will be going in at the back of yours for some more work.

Andy's car is the quickest cosworth in Scotland or is that not getting classed as a cosworth ? As Stu said plenty of quick cars in Scotland that just dont get posted on here.

One proper launch will launch the diff out of the casing, last time I saw Glynn he has a 9" on the floor, no idea if it was for sale or to be used but its probably worth the call

Karl will you be putting it on the same rollers as your other car, would be good to see what sort of fly figure it would make and also a torque figure.

I have got my eye on a 205 owned by a friend of a friend.

I havent seen it yet but I know plenbty guys who have and trust what they say about it.

Im trying to arrange a quick look before the end of the week then could buy it on sat if its what I think it is.

Its not a turbo.

I don't really see the point in that mate, surely any money you get from selling it would pay to make the new car more track orientated..... Or keep the money for spares, I am sure some things will need doing on it over time....

But you may have a better idea, just my opinion....

yeah old cos is being broken or sold made my mind up, from what i understand euans handles good anyway. justs needs a stronger diff and maybe different rear beam so it can be launched and hopefully grips abit more.
