yes yes, i know its not a fezzy lol, but its still my pride and joy.
firstly the spec.
its an E plate 1988 2wd saph cossie
200block and 4x4 stage 2 head
T3 turbo ( standard ) running 24psi, just lol
Green 390cc injectors
Pipercross airfilter
4x4 intercooler, although i have a Pace rs500 type but havnt fitted it
mongoose 3" diameter exhaust with just rear silencer, 4" tip
koni top adjustable springs and shocks
Leather interior
Innovate XD16 AFR gauge
Samco hoses
oil breather
lots of different types of 17" wheels lol
after only owning it since june ( may have been july, i realy have no idea lol ), and having sorted out all the little bits and pieces that didnt work etc i decided that using it every day was costing me far to much money in both fuel and tyres. I was spending about £60 just to do 230 a week to work and thats with out taking into consideration oil and general running costs. so i got myslef a cheap diesel mondeo to run around in....
Anyway back to the saph.
when i got her she was on the standard T3 turbo running 24psi through it, green 390cc injectors and 318bhp.
had a nice black leather interior and generaly went as it should although admittedly need a tidy up under the bonnet...
i proceeded to drive it like this for 2 months then decided to go a different route with the car. suddenly 318bhp wasnt enough but i wasnt going to go and start spending money on it just yet. so out came the interior and anything i didnt need that i could take off and save abit of weight. rear seats/doorcards, roof lining, half the dash, all of that horrible sticky sounddeadening and the carpet. I managed to shave off 45kg and what a difference it made.
A few pictures of how it started life.
Rather stupidly i didnt take any pictures of the complete interior
please excuse the odd wheels in some of those pictures, i put some on with legal tyres to make it to a FSI meet
ok, so now the interior is out and i find the car has been jacked up on the footwells
also found a small amount of rust, nothing major just thought i would add that.
Pictures of the footwells, and the dirty dirty car !
gave it a quick clean before i took the old girl off the road and she came up like this !
thanx to becks for the last pic, was taken at an FSI meet.
so as ive said the cossie if off the road now for what i expect to be atleast a year but over that year expect a few updates. they may be few and far between though im afraid
