Awesome car mate i know this 1st hand as it was owned by 2 of my good mates about 3 and a half years ago it was absolutely mint and i mean genuinely mint with mint cloth interior and just a stage one tune, Enjoy it mate it will be a very long time before that one dies of the tin worm it was solid and un welded underneath, iirc the mileage wasnt high at the time either, my mate paid Ł4000 for it back then

it went ok but couldnt fully do a fuel and boost set up because
1.the intercooler boost pipes kept blowin off due to having the wrong intercooler on the pipes wer kinkt,now sorted with me buying a brand new radtec cooler and boost pipes
2.the car has a stage 3 chip installed but it is a chip for a t3 turbo not t34
3.james told me it could do with a new engine loom as mine looked past it so ryan kindly made me a new up,top quality mate and thakyou.
4.the amal valve was goosed so they disconnected it
apart from these errors they the cars is a strong engine and runs very sweet.
when i send it back down it will be getting siemens injectors(replacing the dark greens)
a proper chip to suit and live map
wasted spark conversion
engine loom installed
and then a full tune up.but going to give it a few months before i send it back down as im going to get the turbo rebuild with 360 bearings to put my mind at rest for if anything ever goes wrong with it
plus this damm snow doesnt help things.lol

i changed it mate to make it my own car what i have always wanted,a standard looking cosworth,and for getting a standard 1 these days are rare and more pricy,
#76
It looks a million times better now with standard lights back on their place again.
I would also change from 4x4 facelift shark tooth to standard lattice alloys. Then You'll get an even more standard looking 2WD Cossie
