My First Cossie!
Hello all,
So ive finally bought my first ever Cosworth!
After about 16 years of craving for one tomrrow ill have my very own "Cosworth"
Its a moonstone Sapphire 4wd (Converted to 2wd) running a stage one spec with "LEVEL 8 ECU, BAYOO CHIP, 3 BAR MAP, GREEN INJECTORS, T34 TURBO, UPRATED ACTUATOR, 500 STYLE INTERCOOLER"
nice leather and looks very clean. 17" TSW imolas so cant wait! will put a pic on here when i get her nut just had to shout about it!!
P.s - regarding the engine spec, any advise what might be the best route forward - not that im craving more power straight away but just so i know my options on the best way forward to get to a stage 3!

I think I saw the car in question on eBay a few days ago. Congrats on owning one, still going to be a long, grueling wait before I can afford to insure one let alone buy one.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Well done mate, i'm sure you'll love it. For years i promised myself an RS. In the late 80s i promised myself an S1 RS Turbo when i had an XR3i - never got one, a few years later i promised myself either a 3 door or a Saph Cossie - never got one as i was going through my sensible car ownership period (all Fords by the way) then last year i took the plunge and bought an RS Focus which i wish i had done years ago, i'd still love a Cossie though but we'll have to see about that.
Hope you enjoy it mate and don't forget the piccys.

lovely car, good spec!
thats a sapphire 2000E steering wheel, not a cossie one (better as it matches the dash on Cloth interiors IMO)
and im not a fan of super T`s on saffs as they "tuck in" rather than have a dish
otherwise bang on for me
get some badges on the boot, everyone knows its a Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth, if youve got it........... flaunt it!!
