Yes but you seem to think a cosworth is good value for money :drinks:

That's cos' it is......25k isn't just for th engine, that's for the entire build exluding the car, at the end it will be a race spec car, last Cosworth boxer turbo i saw ran a 9.12. Worth the money? Yeah.

Wasn't aware cosworth built gearboxes and driveshafts? And the 8 pots to stop such a beast.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

The Plan... Buy A B4..... yes.. i know.. the silver front dash is a bit sad.. but.. fark.. who cares.. anyways. Step 1. Buy a B4.... win Step 2. Swap out all my suspension goodies.. i.e tein coilovers, swaybars, anti-lift kit, end links... ( use edfc sitting on floor ) Step 3. Sell the Rx Step 4. Pay off majority of loan... ( big win ) Step 5. Get the b4 Tuned to stop the Ping/help ease VOD issues Step 6. Save for single turbo / 2.5 litre bottom end conversion... =cheaper.... leather..... awesome dash cluster........ still a strongish motor....? buy a 17k b4.. sell the rx for 15k..... spend 1,000 on tune.... so what.. like 3 k behind? sounds better then 20k... sure wont be 2.5 litre goodness.. what would a single turbo conversion cost? 5 grand? ok.. so 8k behind? unless im way off on the guesstimates.. sounds like a win? + keep suspension bits/rims + leather + already factory turbo (stronger gbox, rear r180 diff yes?) + way way cheaper then spending 20k on a new engine/driveline. + forged pistons? - ugly mofo silver stuff? - wont have that 6 speed. - will be awhile before the 2.5 litre can be done. so.. thoughts?

Car looks good. B4's are a great package except for the engine performance, which is rubbish. Easy to fix that though. Start thinking about that single conversion now before the TT disappointment/frustration sets in. :)

I've got 3 late model inlet manifolds, rails ,injectors, couple looms, alternators, couple long motors, wheels, tyres, and many other random spares, but no spare turbo's sorry. :P
