anyone else wasted a cosworth?

[andyg plym]

i did this morning

private road.....from 50 to 165..think he was quite surprised

let him get close after,think he wanted to know what i had. his car was lush-big whale tale quad lamps etc

Stage 1 cossie is only 280bhp, stage 3 is 330bhp, but theyve got weight on their side compared to the S2.
Standard cossie isnt that quick compared to a lot of cars these days,the original 3 door is only 204bhp

[andyg plym]

dest i thought that, until when i let him pull up alongside he had his mrs in the car....she was one big momma!

[dest]

There are quite a few decent power ones these days though

[salad.dodger]

I know from mates having cossies, anything from stage 1 upt to 477bhp - your Audi must be very quick dude

whats it running

[andyg plym]

370 ponys....rs2 set up mrc tweaked:mischeif: but arent coupes weighing in at 1600kg with me on top at 18 stone!

Its not just about hp numbers, it wont match an s2 for torque.

[dest]

Plus you dont know what power the Cossie was running, so its all speculation!
A 370bhp S2 wouldnt have to try very hard to beat a standard or stage 1 Cossie

According to S2central

Early S2 Coupe 1420
S2 Coupe 1525
S2 Avant 1560

A standard 3 door Cossie is only 1217kg!

A standard Ur is not much heavier, mine weighted in at 1285kg

[andyg plym]

forgot also, that my boot is rammed with stuff. my new bmc cda no doubt helped too, it seems to pull a lot smoother with les hesitation than the k+n that was on before

[macspring]

Any photos of the BMC in place, or is it a panel filter in an oem airbox?

Thanks.

[andyg plym]

not yet, its the carbon cylindrical airbox. had one on my 2nd s2 years ago and sounded lush. saw this on ebay and paid £35 for it the guy didnt know what he had

if you search my old posts or type in bmc in the search function you will see my old set up

cossie driver probably had to rebuild his engine after that 165 blast
