I've removed 20 pounds worth of bodywork from my car!
Well, okay, actually that was the salt that did that...

My best 1/4 is 13.3/107 mph . The track at Calgary is 3600 ft above sea level . At a lower elevation and on slicks , I would expect low to mid 12's .

No it is road legal. It is a rally car but I do drive it on the road with MOT, tax and insurance.

In my opinion a waste of money. ford ones are good enough.
I couldn't say what impact the Mafco Pro leads made because i added them with the spark plugs at the same time. It seemed to produce a tiny amount of performance. I was going to get Splitfire twin core leads but the garage i was getting everything from recommended Mafco instead, even though they were about 5 times cheaper. Why not fit Sierra cossy ones. easy mod. I didnt know they could be fitted. really! the spoilers were already on when i bought it and i dont think they are too big or OTT or anything, infact I like them. As for the blue bits, well thats just to be different and look much better in my opinion. heres my car on the rolling road (not a very good pic tho) Last edited by woodyracing; 2 Feb 2003 at 20:22. |

The blue bits do seem strange to me but then i am old and a bit of a fuddy duddy i.e. If it doesn't help performance then I won't spend money on it.
The cossy brakes were on the car when I bought it but all it seems to be are double ended bolts with spacers. the lugs are the same. I can get the rears off the ground. How is the handling because I found mine to be the car from hell!. I am fitting PAS at the moment and I am spending lots of money to get the car driveable. |

>>hows the handling?
seems ok to me, mine has PAS but its still a bit heavy. Theres no body roll or anything, but the bonnet dips or rises more than i'd really like when accelerating or braking. Seems a bit slippy round fast motorway bends in the rain too, but i always blamed my tyres. |
