Yeah, its an ex Chris Atkinson 2006 world car and yes, thats an Accent Evo 1 world car and the car under the silver cover behind it is a world Accent Evo 3.5. Well spotted

 

Got to admire that, i wonder if it'll be a TOP-SPEED breaker??? cue Rodders...

 

hehe I love garages like that, that's why they make kleenex for men.

 

Some moneys worth in there..

 

theres also a Time Attack impreza in there plus a genuine MG Metro 6R4 clubman as well in that first shot

 

fucking hell!

 

Aye I spotted the 2 classics but didnt think they looked like much lol. Can quite clearly see the shape of the Metro now too. Just needs a few RS200s to finish it off.

 

makes a change to see someone doing something different!!!

what a beast! would love to see that in action

 

How cool do the two turbo's look just peeping out through the bonnet vents?!

 

There not there to look cool pal there there for a reason.

 

gotta wonder why rod pumped all that money into the 2.0 YB trying to make his sierra go quick when it would probably go just as quick with this v8 in it only be a lot more reliable.
also the alloy block V8s are lighter than the YB's !!

 

I guess NOT using a YB isn't the same tbh, that'd be having the fastest cossie with not the engine so to speak, that's not a dig @ this Escos either, if i were doing what Rod was doing i'd go YB too..

 

cant claim to have the fastest cossie without the YB in it, no way!

This Is mental however all the same

 

with all they cars in that garage i hope theres plenty of security

 

bumper and vents look even better with rs2000/cossie headlights and indys

 

a true weapon. Must be a fun ride

 

i would leave it looking like that

 

The engine bay shot says it all, mental project or what

 

wow! love it!

 

aint that someone off here called v8 escos or something like that
serious TOY, love it

 

fuck me,lifting up the garage door and thinking,will i be back for lunch..........

 

Awesome! Love it!

 

I want one !!!!

 

amazing engine

 

hi mate it is a escossy shell ,rear wings are correct ,took front wings off and put mk5 on dont want it to look like a escossy ,

 

hi it is fully mapped i have 4 to choose from at the press of a button ,it made 1027 on pump fuel on map 3 ,map 1 500,2, 800 o is a blank map that it loads so it cant be started or pinched lol

 

it wasent pinched ,if thats what you mean

 

thanks for that ,glad you enjoyed it ,cos it scares the shit out of me

 

what are the odd shaped tanks above and below the intercool core?

 

hi it wasent done to compete with anyone its just something i wanted to do ,i have built lots and lots of trick cars some madder than this,but i dont take them to shows or anything coz people tend to slag your car for somthing or other ,instead of enjoyong it for what it is,and as far as rods car goes i think its spot on i hope i am still alive at his age let alone have a cossy ,it dosent matter what car ,engine ,colour or wheels lets just enjoy peoples work for what it is fun ,all iclaim is that i enjoy doing these things ,sorry mate not having a go

 

they are inlet and outlet ,i modded one of my old escort cossworth intercoolers,other tank you can just see poking out near bonnet hinges are header tank and water injection tanks ,i built then behind wings

 

Thats mental, bet it goes well!! Cant be a cossie shell if its on a 'R' plate tho can it???

 

i did think that, so the inlet is at the bottom either side? and the outlets are at the top in the middle behind the slam panel?

purely a question here, how does this perform with the core fins running the wrong way to the flow and what seems like the original cooler tanks as by pass tanks? so the air can affectivelty by pass the core and head up either side of the existing cooler? doesnt this have massive turbulance affect with opposites ends feeding air against each other.

i may have miss interpurated the picture or there is some clever internal air director plates, but the core is effectively running horizontally rather than vertically (the generally direction of the flow of air)

would if have been better with 2 seperate coolers side side? or possible alter the routing of the of the turbo's supplying the cooler to match the other?

again i may be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark here.

either way looks a very nice and tidy install.

 

also nice touch on the WI and h2o tanks, gives for a much cleaner look in the bay.

 

hi one side feeds top one side feeds bottom ,the sides are no longer connected to each other ,i blanked it internaly ,i used it cos i had it ,car was built out of parts i had laying about realy ,now i know have good it is i will strip and make somethings better unless i sell it lol,i want to get my escort cosworth pickup back together ,just sold my mk6 fiesta cosworth ,to many toys
thanks

 

spot on, a credit to ya for builing something differnt, are going to have it painted etc????

 

hi thanks for that ,yes will have it painted was doing it escosy blue ,but now i fancey red ,just want it to look like a mint 3 door mk 5 with wheels on with just turbos poking out of bonnet ,but go like hell

 

i cant imagine ya being able to creep up behind any 1 with them snails sticking out the vents lol

good luck with it though bud be nice to see it when its all painted up.

 

o my god..................... i want 1 please

 

i dont think lee was aiming it at you,never the less i like what you have writen there,thats the way i tend to look at cars.

cool build
