Bin the 12v and 24v it.

These always wept a bit from the transmission. My Dad had various new ones, Y plate ex-demo XR4i, C plate XR4x4, E plate XR4x4, then on to the Cossie's.

I bought a J plate 2.9 10 years ago, did it up and sold it, great cars!

The 24v cossie BOA lump was on the cards but it acts much like the clio in the fact that it has a high and narrow powerband, the 12v just has pure torque across the rev range, thats how a muscle car should be

Dont get me wrong these cars only produced 147bhp standard and that has to run through a 4wd system too, a 197 would blow its doors off. But give it enough room and it'll pull itself upto 140mph

Plans are for stage 3 heads, cams and and slightly overbored cylinders. matached with some new exhaust manifolds and a remap it should see me close to 200bhp, then a 75 shot of nitrous naturally

A quick update, havent had any time to work on it lately due to taking a week long break in Paris and then busy with work related stuff, the sierras taken a backseat in my life.

I did however find the funds to get it some rather flash summer wheels:





Ford 17 Diamond Cut alloys, original and extremely rare. I snapped this cracking set up for £500. Result.

The centre caps alone will go for £120 on ebay. 3 of them are immaculate original condition too, and one being slightly kerbed.
