Default AMAZING 3-Door!

First of all, can i just say welcome to our newest member sideways1

Then Secondly i would like to say... FUCK ME I LOVE YOUR CAR!

He's asked me to put some piccies up for him, and all i can say guys, is, the work, time, effort and money that has gone into this car is incredible! I dont know the full spec but i am sure he'll be along soon to fill us all in with it!!

It really is incredible, and so very very pretty!

The pictures seriously do not do it justice, after seeing it with my own eyes this afternoon!!

So, welcome dude! Was nice having a bevvy and chatting 'ford' to ya this afternoon!























Sorry the pictures have come out so Duff!! But you get the idea!!!

All i CAN say is, seeing it in the flesh is amazing! It is minty mint mint, with SO many trick bits, and that digi dash and pretty buttons do SO many cool things!

What's the full spec Russ?

That engine bay looks absolutely awesome - nicest one I've seen, and I'm sure it does some good numbers too?

Holy moley - that looks excellent.

What dry sump system are you using and did you retain the power steering?

Sweet car. Dash looks amazing and love the power distribution.

Looks an even higher spec!

Saw Patrick yesterday. Peter was competiting with him in Time Attack at Brands.... he did well considering it was his first go. He beat (only just though!) Warren Kelly in the only other Cossie out there. Came 3rd in his class I think.

I got very sunburnt!

He needs different gear ratios really. His are too long he was saying... I'd also get the suspension looked at as it was leaking it nuts off for a YEAR before I sold it... and I don't think he has touched it since!

He has bought a Radical now as well... can't wait for a go in that. Love Radicals.

Stunning looking car

Agree n the radical thing chip. One of the guys in trackscotland has one, just the clubsport. He got fed up flinging money at mdifying cars so he bought a complete, race ready lightweight bike engined car on slicks and says its the best decision hes ever made. Its light on tyres, brakes and fuel and laps knockhill in under a minute without trying.
