Thas fookin ace
I like his boost controller (can anyone else see it? ) i got one here the same.
Croppy- External wastegates make no difference to any noise mate unless it was running a screamer pipe, and hardly any do, and no way of telling from these pics. If u thinking "chatter" then that dont come from the wastegate.
And yup, looks like a pinto but not, its a Lima

Soz if im wrong just wondering.

There are some of us that do have cossie engines, but as far as being cheaper...NOT!! I see that some of you guys say that you've paid Ł5k for a rebuild!..that would be about $8k for us! and then there's shipping that shit over. and a lot of these XR owners are old cheap Bastaids...LOL. I can spend about $3/$5k and have that same Cossie devouring power. But, it's still not a cossie. there are about 25-30 real cosworths over here. 90% of them being Escorts .

RS gus..I'll let that slide cause XR4tiMan said the cossie's were pesky. But We Never Got the RS so while you think XR's are shat, that's exactly what this car will do to you.

ford thats why they developed the yb for racing coz the merkur is shat
a) A Merkur XR4Ti
b) A Sierra Cosworth
c) A Ford Fiesta
If your answer is anything other than MERKUR then your wrong...
Like to see your Cosworth do 12.02 in the quarter mile, because this Merkur does just that, mate.
And before you say i'm jealous because I don't own a Cosworth...check out my siggy....
