Damn!!!!
Mark that engine bay is something else mate!!!!

You sure that's not a brochure picture????LOL

What's the date for the exact date for Castle Coombe? I have a mate with a Cossie that we have done a hell of a lot of work on so I will get him to drive us there.

I will put some of his pics up towards the middle of next week so watch this space!!!

Looks sweet mate, takes me back, I had 3 of these damn things lol.

First was a 90 spec, and it broke everytime I drove it, 2nd was an 88 spec, and other than gearbox going a few days after getting it, it was pretty reliable.

My last was an 86 S2 non custom (no sunroof, no electric windows, no central locking and the best bit, no recaro's).

However it had 1.9 conversion and was leathal but fun to drive.

I eventually fitted 90 spec front bumper, spoiler, Recaro's, and wired up central locking and electric windows.

Oh and the repairs on it, £29 for a new water return pipe from the turbo, that was all that ever broke on it lol.

Sorry post wasn't that clear, in the front bumper ive got on, its been smoothed, but the standard one has the black moulding, which i want back, not having the side moulds, that only looks good on the 3DR Sierra Cosworth.

sweet car mate what bhp is it running roughly? just out of curiosity

Its running 190BHP, that was before the front mount intercooler was fitted,so dropped a few ponies since then, will need re-seting up to make the most of the intercooler.
