A few pics of my Cossie24v project

[grimbo]

thats what it`s all about mate any idiot can go to halfrods and bolt on the right kit for the right car and join the band of corsa sheep or gagals of saxo`s ect

[Taps]

There's a saying "Each to there Own"  some people don't like mine.

Example:

I pulled up at a Junction the other day and some odd codger was heard to say " that could do with a bloody good polish " I had to laugh to myself, a young man next to him said " its meant to be like you just don't understand"

There will always be things people either like or dis like buts that's there personal taste, where the difference comes is how you comment on such, how it was done on PF can only be described as disgusting and something that would never be allowed here thats for sure

[cossie24v]

Hi guys here's an update on the kit its now on the car now have to make it look good so a lot of work to do









Cheers Vic

When thats all painted up it will look very smart Hows the turbo conversion running then? Bet its fun Im doing a single turbo on my BOB Saff and i cant wait to finish it. What power is it putting out and at what psi? Does look a sweet conversion

[cossie24v]

Hi Damacos at the moment its running 280bhp on a base map but is set up for 350bhp once I have built my new engine then it will go back of to Top Boss to be mapped to 350bhp its running 2 bar of boost at the mo the new engine will have a BOB block with low comp piston from Burton Power an 8.5 compression ratio BOB cams Boa heads and timing gear the turbo is a t4 Cheers Vic

Hi Taps well m8 the argument go's on I got the idea the chavey car where put on the barryboy site from passion ford but even the idiots on there don't have a clue about personal choice. But I notice they don't have the balls to come and tell it to my face at shows thanks for the support m8 Cheers Vic

[Taps]

Vic you need to chill a bit m8 and not bite  The source of pictures etc on there has to be stated so doubt it was some one off PF as the original poster stated he took it at a car show.

Your car you do what you like with it, its not everyone's cup of tea looks wise but then everyone has different tastes to what they like and don't, myself the change of bumpers and side skirts when finished will be an improvement. The rear spoiler will always raise comment. I suspect you was not a 100% happy with it as it was hence the changes

Only you know what you want to achieve looks wise and I look forward to seeing the end result as I have high hopes for it

As for criticism you have to take it as it comes, not jump at it, read it, think about it, is it constructive, if by doing so you can see there point of view then comment if you think fuck you and want to comment just agree to dis agree, hard to do some times I know. I don't see the net as real life, there's people on it that come over as real cocks yet in the flesh there totally different

[MaxXR]

 I totally  agree with Taps.   I get it all the time and thats from mates.      I just carry on.  Another way to look at it is without people willing to experiment we would be still living in the dark ages.

[cossie24v]

HI guys totally agree with all of that. Its just when you have had a life time of the crap it sometimes gets to me. But on the hole I don't really give a monkey's what the say as you say Taps its each to there own and if it was not that way then every modified car on the planet would be bland and boring just like every boring rep motor that I see on the road every day in the course of doing my job as Fork truck service engineer Cheers Vic

[cossie24v]

Hi guys its been a while since I was last on here and the car has been though a fair few change's since then the engine has been totally rebuilt with the BOB block reconditioned heads new timing chain and blade and has gone from single turbo to twin turbo and from 240 bhp to 550 bhp and the sump has had baffles fitted for when its out on track all the body work has been done new rear wheel arch's Saffhire bonnet vents fitted in the bonnet and all the body kit finish off and its had a full re-spray and its all been done by Top Boss and I am very pleased with the resalts its now out of the paint shop and back with Top Boss. The underside is now going to be striped down and rust proofed it will be sprayed with rust killer first and then have 6 coats of a plastic coating sprayed on then will then have the new rear RS Granada supension fitted and Ultima rear anti roll bar Saffhire rear are to take the rear wheel camber out and a set of spacers to make the rear track wider. Front supension is Koni springs and struts in the engine bay it will be having a Toyo Sports Granada racing radiator and Toyo Sports Escort Cosworth intercooler that has been modified to take the twin turbo's and Bayley tanks so here are a few pic's and I have not posted any thing on Passion Ford yet that is something me and Fitz are saving untill it is completely finished







the rocker covers and plenum are not mine just put on the engine for the pic's mine will have blue rocker covers and a silver and blue plenum









































































Cheers Vic
