cossieglen Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Oh I can't wait to get her out there on the circuits!! Also to all the OSF meets, waited a long time to get back behind the wheel of an Escort, and I think I've got myself a bit of a stonker!
over_head_cam Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Nice mate. Looks like it means business Any spec on it?

cossieglen Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 Cheers guys. Yeah certainly has a shed load of the Alimax gear, bloody good stuff too I say, the tank is lovely. Here's a spec of what I can remember at the moment: Engine: 2.1L Pinto Modified Camshaft (make currently unknown) Vernier pulley Weber DCOE 45's Lumenition Ignition 4 branch manifold Facet Red Top fuel pump Suspension: Bilstein front uprights 4" springs Bilstein rear shocks single leaf springs Transmission: 2 piece prop LSD English axle (ratio unknown) Type 9 5spd Gearbox Brakes: AP 'Princess' 4 pot calipers front Cosworth rear calipers and discs Bias pedal box Others: Alimax aluminium fuel tank LOTS of other Alimax stuff Corbeau Sprint Seats 4 Point harnesses Weld in rollcage Genuine Minilites 8x13's Yokohama A539 Tyres Genuine Ford X-Pack It has also had brand new inner wings, everything has been freshly painted and undersealed, it is quite frankly mint!

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure you will all see it soon, hopefully before the RS Owners Club day, are we having a stand etc there?
Copey Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 fook me thats a lot!! car looks sweet as mate!! love it!!
cossieglen Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 Cheers mate, expect to see a lot more of it too!
Luke_hpe2.1 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Looks good!! how much you after for your seats and what size waist will they fit? also make n model would be great? Cheers
cossieglen Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 Well I've just won a cosworth crank on the 'bay for £151 Halfway there then!
cossieglen Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 Yep!! The guy is selling some rods too, so I've offered him £300 for the crank and rods, see if he bites.
stumax Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 very sharp car. 7 /1 2 x pack alloys would set it off nice. only my opinion mind.very nice .dead jealous.
cossieglen Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 They would look nice, however I think it'd be easier to find some rocking horse shit, or even some bird's teeth.
cossieglen Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Posted August 3, 2007 Ok, so I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!!! Going to pick the motor up this afternoon! Can't fookin wait!
cossieglen Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Posted August 3, 2007 Well I picked her up today, and have already completely fallen in love with the thing! Engine needs some attention, just isn't running nicely at all, but hey, it's a pinto, there's only a few things it could be eh?! Had the cam cover off as one of the followers had wound itself down (no surprise there) and it's running a Piper BP285 cam I know that much, not sure if the head is modified yet, but will probs have that off soon enough if I can't get it running right. Other than that, it's awesome, just need to buy a few bits and it'll be perfect! Ok then, who wants to buy a pair of Corbeau Sprint seats? Barely used, in fantastic condition, £190 each new!! I will get some pics taken and put them in the for sale bit soon, but if anyone wants them brought up for sunday then I can.
cossieglen Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Posted August 4, 2007 Haha, yeah I know mate, don't think I haven't thought about what could have been!
