I've got a nova and all the bits for the conversion. But i also have a xr2 loomed up for an efi rs engine, with a bottom end that needs a new piston. needs a new head and turbo aswell.
but i only have 1 garage. what one do i do first??

 

something with a blower, anyday

 

it's a forum called passionford, what answer do you expect?

 

exactly...

but hey, lets be a bit more forgiving.

 

do the nova then you can tell me how to do mine

that'll sort u out mate

 

what kind of a bollox comment it that ment to be like

mayte just cause its passionford dont mean every member has binkers on and we all think that cossies are the fastest best handling cars in the world ever and no other car/bike/pissed women on crack riding a skateboard would be ever to even get close to the "cosworth" badge

imo the nova is the quickest conversion and its the idea ya was thinking about for a few months UNTIL you started using pasionford and all the friendly comments and advice of the nice members gave ya other ideas ( like the nice comment above )

so the nova and then maybe turbo it and then beat cossies at santa pod and take a video camera and use in it ya siggy just to remind people that ford is a make of car not a religion ya have to follow and avoid the other car religions

 

oi maye think the cossie need to be finished first after ya new house purchase dont you think


but if ya wanna learn im sure cowboi wont mind ya poping along and helping

 

Nova Before bal beats me up

there not

 

should have told ya all to sit down before i osted it shouldnt i


tony you cant talk, youy bought the best looking rs ever made and then to make it the best rs for rallying in what was the mod ya done to it again

was it drop a erst lump in it/ sheo horn a cossie engine or fit a engine out of ya grandads old car and make it reliable

ps: tony ya got pm about that thingy i asked ya about ages ago, i finally measured the thing

 

Not sure what you mean mate

It's a standard car ..... All I have done mod wise is fit a fluorescent light above my head

I now have interchangeable covers for it too, in special neon blue and green so I can mix in with the local cruise lot on Sunday nights

 

see some on here aint gonna get the joke now and think ya modded ya car with a viper induction kit or binned the solid lifters and twin coil on the car

well in a way ya kinda did

 

Personally as you know theres no rush to do the XRT. Your heart was with the Nova, it was the project you wanted to do before all of us even began ours. So i say do the nova, sit on the shell, look out for a cheap engine/build one over time and see how you like the Nova when its done.

 

wheres the rebuild the cossie option


surely thats a better choice

 

ginge the cossie aint the fast best handling car in the world, so it can wait. supply some stella, and pull up a chair in the garage and learn a thing or 2.
You should be thinking about the tennis cab if u ask me. bit more special that the cossie

 

As above! Every fooker has a cossie

 

And I wonder why that is?

 

because blinker exist

 

c'mon, keep it blue

 

the tennis cabrio is gonna be one dont worry about that, just ya been abit busy at the moment

as for the cossie, thats deffo special as nothing an beat it when it comes on boost finally

besides if i decide to rebuild then trust me its gonna be alot quicker then

but then ill have the tennis cabrio as me fun motor

 

b4 we do the cossie, i want a signed document saying that if we fook it up, u wont hold me responsible for it!!
once i get that we will go to work.

 

what incase it comes back not knocking like a fooker

 

or the auto-oil change mechanisim fitted to it

 

i wont be knocking, it'll blow up all over my nice pit
but seriously get a price for all the bits, and then get one for some 1 else to do it professionaly.
anless u wanna learn at the same time

 

i wanna learn and i got stu and kennys number on speed dial on me mobile

 

is it bottom end u wanna do? if so it aint hard. but make sure u get all the torque settings and stuff first

 

torque settings are by "feel"

its just the bottom end and tapits too, but untill then its oil leak time

 

never touched a head btw ginge. bottom ends r easy.
oil leaks r easily sorted. put some cardboard under the car each time u park and keep an eye on the dipstick.

dans radiator will probably be ok. need to put some rad weld through it 2mora

 

ya really aont seen the oil leaks i got have ya

theres a few ya could say

i like to call it automatic oil changing option that most cossies have from the factory
