I thought i should do this from the start, so here goes.

I always had the intention to get another cossie, despite the fact i said i never would. Before i bought this i test drove a 380bhp evo 5 and a 400bhp skyline. Now, dont get me wrong, the evo handled fantasticly and the skybus was much less sqeeky than a saph but neither of them had the soul and passion that cossies seem too !

I had a look at a couple of cossie, but this one stood out. It had the engine rebuilt by harvey gibbs at SCS and had everything else it should, albeit not everything was fitted that well. The only downsides were no MOT or Tax

After 2 trips to Ipswitch we came to an agreement,he would MOT it and i would by it.....

So what do you think it failed on after being off the road for 4 and a half years ???

Rot,
emmisions
Tyres
Brakes





No,

It failed on a CV Boot and the brakelights not working which was down to a dodgy switch.

So i got it home on the 19 of june 09 drove it around for a week then off the road it came for some wiring. I say some, most of behind the dash had to be done

The spec

Harvey Gibbs, built and prepped
200 block,
Long studded
7.35:1
Ported and polished head
Portmatched manifolds
reground crank
balanced bottom end
standard cams. exhaust advanced 2degrees inlet retarded
Big winged sump
2wd Exhaust manifold
Genuine RS500T4 turbo with 247 Mar-m shaft
Genuine RS500 intercooler
Greys
1.9 Bar
K+N filter
Air injectors
Scorpion 3" exhaust, centre box removed, 4" tip
Live mapped by Harvey and Ahmed
444bhp.

got a bailey breather
A proper strutbrace
Grp A coil
Avo coilovers
Pretty decent Leather interior
Kahn 17"s with new Avon ZZ3 tyres
Defi gauges. oil temp, oil pressure, exhaust temp, boost and fuel pressure and the defi link controller
Secs monitor
ACT gauge ( which i have broken lol )

The spec now is about the same, just with larger injectors ( siemens 83lb ) and a MSD chip which unfortunatly isnt running right. and now is down to 383bhp
The plus sides to the chip is that it now has ALS and LC lol

Enough waffling. pictures time

Not long after i got it, it was like this










Next up came the engine work.

I had to moddify the throttle body for the ALS, and did alittle work tot the elbow and cover



















Then more money started to get spent. The blue hose is on still as i need to get hold of a 75mm throttle body as the standard one is 63mm
Orange SFS hoses, T4 5 ply metal reinforced effort
New front and side indicators
Gear gaitor ( which i still havnt fitted )
Alloy bottom rad hose ( which i had moddified )
Rear strut brace ( for sale )
And i modded the ISCV for the ALS too
got a bailey header tank too as the plastic one was about to pop.

Image
Image


I changed the shitty Kahn steering wheel for a 3dr job. not the nicest but far better than that chvvy crap

Then after getting back on the road the day before Ford fair i did this on the way up to ford fair

Image
Image

Yep, i blew the shock in half

So i got these

Image
Image


And she now sits like this

Image

And beads like this
