thnx ...
I am going to Landgraaf..
But to beat the gabat escort is hardly any real achievment..
This guy says to have 700 bhp .. while only running GREEN injectors and a T3... Like most of the people will tell you on this board.. that is about twice as much as really is possible with this setup .. .. in english I would call him an Attentionwhore with a very big mouth..

lmao!! I've seen the Gabatt cossie last year @ EFE but I don't believe it's has 700bhp.

Nice looking Cossie you have there!
Is it the same project you were talking about a couple of years ago?

ps my cossie still runs on the cleaned injectors, remember?

The tensioner is to keep the belt where it should be.. going off throttle at 9500rpm gives it rather a kick which I like to prevent from happening... so just a precaution measure... .. dont know if I am keeping it on ... it makes a bit of noise constantly..

I have discussed this also with Cossiegirl...
we now know what the deal is...
Gabbat seems to be a tuning compagny from Switzerland..
and has tuned a lot of cossies... We also found several blue escorts with are packed with stuff to get over 600bhp .. but the one we are talking about doesnt have the stuff in the enginebay but does pretend to have it , with all gabat stickers on the side.. and only green injectors and a T3 turbo .. also he has a stand before his car with so called proof of his 600+ setup .. (probably from someone else with the real setup ..

Your cossie looks awesome mate how do you get the paint work so black and shiny? seeing that on the street must look too dangerous I don't think anyone would even want to try and race you, the black one's always look evil.

Its a small trick when making pictures..
you make them in the beginning of the evening but only when there is no direct sunlight and partly cloudy... Find a space where there are lots of trees , but they may not be too close. , the light must come from above , this way you will see the light coming from the sun between the clouds back in the black colour and focus with a good camera on the car..and click!

i am so happy it finally finished... I dont wanna race it
