Default cosworth rally cars

was at a rally at rockingham the other weekend and noticed that all the cosworths were running grey injectors but with standard intercoolers and turbo inlet restrictors.surely grey injectors is over kill?only one of the cars was running anti lag.why not just use 803`s?

i will have had in a few hours pal !!

what you up to ? off to carlisle ?

got to take the rear arms off the rally car now tho - grizedale finished the rear sphericals off this time its like ive got rear wheel steering

surprised i even finished tbh, i had no engine mounts on, turbo bolts snapped off - all of them because of the engine mounts snapping and the downpipe whacking the bulhead , and rear wheel steering

gonna have to go back to tarmac rallying - got to be less damage
