That's a hell of a spec there andythom188. Mines running 220bhp and that's enough. It would keep with my cossy.

Was meaning to ask you if the Rs in your name was ford related I do love me fords well anything ford related as long as it's got Rs in front of it .
They look very nice m8 I had a white 4x4cosworth took it in pix for one of my series 1 Rs turbos did the deal at national day donnington.
The head was stage 2 gas flowed , lightened and balance flywheel , steel rods Low compression pistonscharge cooler , 360 hybrid turbo Collins performance chip , Kent cam and nice big fat 4" magnex exhaust to get rid of all them gases held nice,y at 20lbs of boost tailed off to 18lbs

Yep I'm like a stick of rock, cut me in half and ford is all the way through:) I did have a crystal blue cossy as well but sold it to enhanced performance in Brighton. A mate of mine has three escosys, one rear wheel drive and the other two massively specked and a saff.

Problem when massive spec is the fuel consumption mine just shy of 400 30lbs boost and 5mpg on full boost :eek: santa pod 1/4 11.87 it's a graham good conversion and my m8 in his mk1 escort running a 400bhp conversion with launch control from mad Blackpool did it in 11.4 a couple of years after me good going for red, wouldn't of minded but I sold him the engine out of my track car, should of kept that engine
 
@andythom188 ..... Beat ya! Years ago a m8 took out a shared m8's Granada Cosworth, pair of us being used to rs500, saph 2wd's & 4wd's etc thought right... Got it down to 2mpg on the road when we got back the owner said bo@&ox, you've beaten my record! :eek::D

Went to school with Graham Goode's daughter. Was in Leicester a couple of weekends ago, and his shop is still in Aylestone. Years ago Ford's were all that he'd touch, but then started doing Impreza's as well. Many a wet dream had walking past that place.

I'm not sure on his full spec, but I know there is 8 high cc injectors buried in there and quaife gearbox and diffs.
I've never run pod in mine as they are set up for circuit. I did take the magenta cossy there and smashed the diff to bits. But that was my own fault for not upgrading it when I had the engine done. I used to get del from ds motorsport to do my work, but he no longer does it. The last one he done was a 1000bhp twin engine mk1 golf for ak bodycraft.
 
Had an engine done by Baines race, Motorsport block, balanced and blueprinted.

I stuck to an AP organic as I wanted some control:laugh: keeps it a nice drive. Although the missus hates the car with a passion. I've never put mine on a trailer, but it has been on axle stands for the past two years as I've had all the suspension powder coated and poly bushed and not had the time to get it back together:(

Nice sleeper, my track car that I was building was a rs1600i that had been fabricated to take rwd cosworth running gear bit like the gartrac got all the running gear in but never got the electrics in lost interest as had to many toys in the workshop and sold the engine and all ancillaries to my m8 for his mk1 escort and the rolling shell went to Torquay
