My Escort Cosworth - Part 2
Ok part 1 was the buying, part 2 is the wheel upgrade, which I eventually decided to go down the Rondell route I know I know I know not very original but I have always loved escort cossies on them and I knew I would never be happy with another wheel even it was more original 
who can guess what is next on the shopping I think its obvious from the pictures

Looks good, although i was actually liking it on the standard wheels 
Cant believe you went with Rondells, im so bored of them now 
Have you got real Rondells or those Engel things? 
All you need now is some coilovers

no engels mate, you pay through the nose for Rondels for essentially the same wheel, aren't they made from the original moulds??
I know they are very common but they look
what benefit will coilovers give me against Koni's and whats the difference in cost?

Really really enjoying evo ownership so much so im wishing i did it earlier, sadly ive spent a small fortune on carbon fibre bits from do-luck and its looking rather different now, the engine bay is soooooo clean its like a mirror, really happy with it tbh, told you it wasnt the car at fault with the chip prob didnt i? that car is completely reliable, if you going for more power take it to the people that know the cars inside out, the GGR 305 kit with cams seriously rapid, cossy mad got one with this kit to pull 0-60 in 4.9 sec and 161 top speed

yup im waxing all the time now, you wouldnt recognise the evo now, its looks like its just rolled out of the factory, had the pr0s come in with the proper bo waxes, clay bars, and the ridiculously priced ymol stuff was used, the paint looks wet, and they did the engine bay also and seriously the outcome was somethink else, image what they could do with the escos?
so whats the plans for her then, im realy intrested to know, im kinda slightly sad its got modded cus theirs not many out their like that one trust me, still its your car so each to their own
personally id go for
coilovers- go for mike rainbird nur specs, absolutly awesome
frame connectors transform body flex to virtually non existant
305 GGR with piper cams
middle box out of mongoose removed
engine bling ect ect, youve got a fresh start now so enjoy it!!

a lot of the mods are for the better as the bits that are on there are 10 years old now
I might give goodies a ring with regards the 305 and see whats involved.

with the 305 thought thats all you could get due to the small turbo management?
witht the 305 and cams surely that must be like a stage3 on a big turbo sorta power?
