thanks wessa for getting back philip lived in hamilton was married to angie oliver if yours was one that viv exported i might have driven it to the docks i took a few white ones for him the best upgrade you can do is a hydrolic clutch conversion if your handy with the spanners its not a bad job to do your self theres a couple ways of doing it one way you dont have to take the box out ive recently done mine i dont usally say the fraze but its so sweet its the only word that describes it any more info would be great thanks ray

 

Im sure the clutch upgrade will be on the todo list somewhere.
As for Philip and Angie, all i can do is ask people when i get to enquire about stuff. You may want to try these guys http://www.lodgeautocentre.co.nz/ as they sold it to the guy i bought it from and did alot of work to my car. Apparently im the third owner in NZ since 96 so im sure someone may know Philip somehow.
They are a few hours from Hamilton.
I will always ask whoever i speak to in the cossie world here.
Would be good if you found him right.

 

Wessa Just looked on the lodgeautocenter site, seems like they would be the place to get parts from local to you and where I would be taking my Saff if I lived there. You have to find someone who knows Cosworths inside out who can be trusted to do a good job and I reckon they would be the ones.

 

Just one last question mate. What make of accuator do you think i have and is it much different from a standard one?
Cheers

 

It looks exactly like the blue ones that lodgeautocenter sell. Give them a call and ask them what they sell. Aftermarket actuators are usually -31 or -34 depending on the turbo. They are one small part of an engine power upgrade but maybe there is one one your engine because the original one packed up. They are just a modern version of the original type. I havent got one on mine and it runs fine.


My actuator is what I call a standard looking one.

 

Cheers Mate.
Will give them a call.

Lesley, just thinking about it, you may also want to ask on the RS Owners club NZ.
