Best mod on my mates which we developed over a few years was the 3.9:1 CWP, totally transformed the car for the better.

Who did the solid beam mounts come off ?

The wasted spark conversion is one of the best mods on a cossie, I have it on my saff, and at least 8-9 mates have it on theirs, and ALL have been faultless since it has been fitted, without doubt one of the best engine mods you can do.

But AP's transform a Cossie, Especially from the uber gay 4x4 shite brakes!

Eh? .. I own a 4x4 Escort Cosworth, and a 4x4 Saff converted to RWD, so I own both ... And the 2wd 4 pots are 1000 times better than the shite single pot sliding callipers on the 4x4 cossies... Hence why AP's are such a good upgrade!

So how does fuck off grab you?

Yeah, cos the rear brakes really do a lot Are you seriously arguing that 4x4's have better standard brakes than a 2wd car?

Saying that, if you are trumpeting that a distributor and rotor arm/dizzy cap set up is better than a solid state wasted spark system then you are seriously deluded anyway ..

Whats the matter, can't you drive a 2wd car properly?

So we are in agreement then? I was merely stating that on a 4x4 it is more vital than on a 2wd, at least 2wd brakes can handle a stage 1 just about, even standard on 4x4 brakes is on the limit IMHO!

As regards to the wasted spark, it is NOT there to sort any underlying problems, but it just removes so many weak points from the standard car!
