Be like that wedding video where the bride gets in and the driver tries to show off and sends it into the wall iirc 
what size tyres has he squeezed under the arches? Will they take 255’s? This time of year though holding 750bhp on the deck is going to be fun, I bet it feels savage on boost just like it’s mentioned on the video.
his comment of “this is a real 750bhp” made me laugh, just goes to show that some of the cars have exaggerated figures, but I do know the Cossie lump really punches you old school style.
one of the reasons I love driving my S4 and the 2.7tt engine has old school turbo delivery which makes it feel that bit faster.

😂😂 I can talk I’m a brummy so hardly the best of accents anyway 😂😂
It sounds awesome on boost 😎 you know your in for a good time when you hear that gearbox whine.
i can’t believe it’s on 235’s no wonder it’s lively, I couldn’t remember what I had fitted to my mk5 but iirc it was in fact 205’s and not 225’s
hope your good anyway? still haven’t had my s4 painted 🤦🏻♂️ but it’s been to a few shows and I’m enjoying it when I can be arsed to drag it out so all’s good 👍

Amazing car dave 
great to see it in action is the front diff quaffe with thick wall casing? 3.6 or 3.9? What clutch did you go for to cope with that power?

cossie fan (unluckerly)
I am lol and hopefully early 2020 will see me back on it now my house is finished and mark has the long studs that he was waiting on. I’ll be using the turbo down from what’s on this escort. Mine will also be on solid lifters. Can’t wait that escort is a credit to its owner. To me that’s what cosworths are about savage power fook all this going back to standard shit lol

650-680 ish I’m still on a standard crank so that will be the limit. 200 block proper liners marks spec rods and pistons. Mark had a turbo in mind so I’ll go with that. 9180 would be a waste if I can get the power I want with a lesser one.

The youtuber bloke was saying "this is a true 750" and he couldn't believe how quick it was compared to other 500+ cars he had been in....he needs to understand power to weight ratio better...a new Skyline is much heavier than a 1200kg Cossie.

That would be the icing on the cake but having said that Dave seemed ok with the current gearbox in the video.What a beast!!!

My sisters other half has a BMW 435i petrol and he thinks his bm will kill my cossie. My cossie is a hell of a lot lighter and it has more power too. He might kill me on the corners though ha ha.

Do people tend to use a 60+mph long first and then tightly stack the rest of the gears or does a big power turbo car need longer gears to pull against? on a road car.
