pablo said:anyway lets keep on topic? cosworths - rally bred classic or all hype?
RMS_CLK said:How much??? 60 grand??? Thats supercar league mate. Cossies were 24 grand new! Oh and an Fq400 will never hold its money like an escort cossie will!! Why??
pablo said:we can use the same value arguement on a ae86 corolla. is it worth 5k tho?
RMS_CLK said:Yes but you will make the cossie twice as quick for a fraction of the price. Oh and what about a sierra - 3 - 5 k for a 4x4
RMS_CLK said:Depends how their built. Davey Francis's 450bhp G4T ex-rallycross car was built real well with wire ringed bottom end etc and it never gave any bother!! Its still running 100%. Its also one of the most impressive cars ive ever seen. Metro1800 will vouch for it he's seen it many times!
peters escort has a 10 k engine which doesnt get driven that hard and has better than the best components thats why its lasted
if ur lucky enough that it doesnt blow up and most escorts and late sierras if left std shouldnt the gearbox will **** it self if it is even remotely tuned
