Hello people ive owned my saph now for about 4 months, after owning 3 rs

turbos i though it was time for a cosworth.

I went a bit over the top with my series 2 and after many thousands of

pounds i decided it was time to break. This turned out to be a good idea

as i managed to pick up a clean 2 owner 54,000 mile mercury grey saph

from piston heads. It was the first one i looked which was arranged at

ford fair. I went back a week later and put down a deposit. The first

owner was for nearly 18 years, 8 of which it was sitting in a garage.

The second owner was only for a year and he sold up for an escort

cossy.

















It had a few niggly bits which needed doing they didnt put me off.

Shes had a pretty easy life and only got stage 1 chip 4 months before

i picked her up.

As always i plan on not spending any money mooding but it hasnt realy

worked out like that. The lump was leaking oil from the usual places

cam seals, rear main etc and after picking up so many bits i thought i

may aswell wip the engine out and give her a freshen up for the new year.

I started this a few days ago with me mate gary aka kitchen devil, after

an hour or so she was ready to come out so i shot over to a friend of

mine phil and picked up the craine.









Forgot my camera earlier so no pics of the lump comming out

Basiaclly plans are to go to stage 3, greens, 3 bar, 500 cooler and t34. 48

heres some bits ive picked up













Ordered all new gaskets and new sensor kit from matt lewis yesterday,

thought as im fitting new car looms loom theres no point in using old

shitty sensors.

Will post some more pics up over the weekend of cleaning the bay etc

hope you like

managed to drop my digital camera so no pictures either

Met up with rsnissan on thursday nite and collected my pace alloy rad

(cheers mate) also picked up my skimmed flywheel and also new clutch

from ford on friday. Managed to get down the garage saturday morning for

a few hours and got the new loom in place. Also bolted on the freshly

painted inlet manifold and throttly body and cleaned up a few other bit

hoping to get the crank seals done tomorrow and bolt on the sump
then new belts and shes ready to go back in

very nice car, love mercury grey saffs

 

What made the hose burst then clever clogs?

And as for the girly greys, how much power did you make again?

same power as you but safe!!!!!!!!!

 

BE NICE TO SEE SOME PROGRESS.... give up wanking and concentrate on the car!
