Default CossieRich's Saph goes SOOOO well!

just been out for a quick run with cossierich, and at one point i almost cried like a girl

boy does it go well!

well over 400bhp on a pretty mild engine spec (not sure what it is, rich?)

awesome grip even with all that power and a standard rear beam, boy those R888s are good!


Well done rich and well done Mr Shead

This Saph is such a good car, and it's not even big money/big spec - this is how cossies should all be

you should have bought a proper sapph aswell before you spunked your money on that 24v one and left a very sour taste in your mouth about them and maybe your opinions on them would have changed.

Very supprising isnt it, I always say all cossies are fast until you go in a fast one,
Rich's spec and the GT3071 works very well.

Up to Rich if he wants to post about that of course, but the price Rich got things for on this occasion isnt the same price they are generally available to people for, he got lucky with quite a few things.
