Wow, what an amazing upgrade

The dash flocking was something that I was heavily looking into with my Focus and wow, it looks great

i was thinking "what a stupid guy", then i saw rwd cossie

**Patalrobn** · 08-28-2009, 12:00 AM

I was expecting a RS Cossie powered escort. This should be just as fun though.

**MachFive** · 08-28-2009, 08:33 AM

Man, you are insane! I can't wait to see how your new project comes along. I was gonna say that whatever you sold the RS for better be pretty damn special....and it is!

**bringler26** · 08-28-2009, 12:23 PM

UMMM WOW! You sir just showed me what I really wanted to do with my focus when I graduate from college and get some moola! Both cars are sweet!

**PGZX3** · 08-28-2009, 01:14 PM

so much want in this thread.....

full of epic win....

**GuidoTheKid** · 08-28-2009, 01:24 PM

there is still just somethin about the RS that makes me all warm inside....mmmmmmm

**SVT2RS** · 08-28-2009, 02:25 PM

I think I recall seeing your RS in Fast Fords a while back? I like the new project car, hopefully she treats you well you animal!

**biscuitninja** · 08-28-2009, 05:27 PM

I really, really, REALLY like it.

I know i'm a blasphemer... but I would not mind something with 8 cylinder and pushrods under the "bonnet"...

sweet project though.

I hate you and all you and your cossie stand for you gluten.....

**Reedicus26** · 08-29-2009, 01:54 AM

Your new ride is ok I guess. Kinda plain.

You bastard.

**COCHYN** · 08-29-2009, 03:17 AM

Few more updates coming, spent a bit of money on the basics like belts, tensioners, plugs, leads, oil etc. etc. etc. then its off for an MOT next week. Afterwards it'll be a mad rush sorting all the little dents and scratches on the bodywork, nothing major.

Will take pics when its on the ramp

**cobrawannabe cdw27** · 08-29-2009, 12:26 PM

YOU BASTERD!!!

**COCHYN** · 08-29-2009, 05:04 PM

More will be revealed very soon

**COCHYN** · 09-17-2009, 10:49 PM

Small updates, been away working in Spain so not had much chance to play with the car. But anywayz, here goes...

Had loads of plans for this car, most of which I hoped I could push around for the next months and just enjoy doing them. One of which was rebuilding the whole engine to my spec, plus adding a few new trick bits to it

But due to a low oil pressure popping up on the Stack dash, the engine came out a little sooner. Bare in mind, this is a day after she passed the MOT and I got TAX for her

But I'm really happy so far, the engine was honed today and the crank was polished up, no damage to the engine except the wrecked oil pump. Near enough all the parts I wanted have turned up, plus extras I'm changing as a matter of course. So basically making myself a brand new engine

Should be back on the road and running her in good and proper within 2 weeks.

Inside the oil pump

The inlet manifold a long with a lot more stuff to follow that have been refurbed

**Lee1188** · 09-18-2009, 04:34 AM

Looks like a weapon and a half buddy boy... going to be tracking it any time soon?

**twistyeyes** · 09-18-2009, 05:27 AM

hows it handle? sorry if someone already asked.

**COCHYN** · 09-18-2009, 06:52 AM

Running on Gaz coilovers, compression struts, poly bushes and solid rear mounts in RWD....handles very very well

In comparison to my Focus RS, you can't really compare them, two totally different breed of car. Both awsome.

Will need to run it in for the first 1k miles, so that will be a very long process....especially when I have to avoid the boost

Then it'll get some track fun when all is working as it should be.

**bringler26** · 09-18-2009, 09:23 AM

That car is so wicked I look forward to seeing the results after the engine is broken in.

**steedafocusgirl** · 09-18-2009, 12:24 PM

You need to send the yb and transmission to me for my Sierra!
