I had a RWD white Sapphire Cossie...on an E plate...bought for £5700 in 1992...sold it 18 months later with a blown head gasket plus a few small scars for £3000. It was standard to look at..not even an aftermarket exhaust...but was supposedly running 350bhp.Dont ask me what had been done to it..if anything...but shit...it was quick...damn quick.My God was that a banging 18months...I ragged the crap out of it and really did abuse it(it was a gift..so I didn't appreciate it like if I had paid out for it...wrong I know.). I was 26 and won't ever forget that car and the fun I had in her... Ive had some nice quick cars in my time..but there's something veeeeeery special about these motors!! Why oh why did I sell it....
@@onthelimiter6529 need to get some of johns toys on the chanel if he has any? Shame about one he spent all those years on that ended so soon. Your cosworth is a minter too mind😍
Guys those are two beautiful cossie's. This was when Ford really knew what performance was. Cannot get better than a cossie whether that be the Escort or the Sierra. Although have always had a soft spot for Sierra's. This was an era when cars were made to feel like you were connected to them, not like the modern fords of today where the computers do everything for you. A real drivers car. Nice one lads.
Nice! I miss my 2wd saph cossie in magenta , leather , stage 3 . I sold it for peanuts in 2003 . beyond gutted, still... i enjoyed 3 years of hooning it from age 21 and never slapping a tree with it !
Just found your channel and a big fan of the Cossie guys. A friend of mine is waiting to pick up his cossie upgraded engine, not sure what has been done but all I know is that it’s 20 grand upwards. I will post the specs when I find out.
Brings me back to 80s when escorts and Sierra cossie,s were the cars to have if you were a top boy ,that sound makes me hair on me neck go crazy 🤪, keep safe and be lucky lads
Love dan’s cossie I’ll definitely have to get one! My father owned one and omfg I need one they’re so clean and so fun! I’ll happily pay anything for a good/ mint condition cossie. That 500bhp cossie is fkn mint, very very clean engine bay and I bet that’ll be so much fun in Mexico😉😂 both of yous for the reaction once Dan puts his foot down is priceless😂 great content lads
It’s great on those open Mexican roads 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the positive comments mate, really appreciate it. That’s magenta things a weapon, makes mine feel a bit sluggish
That burgundy Sapphire Cossy is probably the colour I'd choose now, used to be moonstone blue or diamond white equally, funny how things like that change over the years
Just rebuilt the T34 on my escos in october wish i went for a pulsar now 🙄 cracking vid lads keep the format as is 👍 **should i hit it with a stick** 🤣🤣
Fantastic turbo that pulsar. Funny enough I’ve just bought a hybrid turbo technics T34 for my saff, got it at a price I simply could not pass on tho otherwise I would have went the pulsar route too
@@onthelimiter6529 great vid👍 interesting on the turbo, was thinking of getting my escos T34 rebuilt with billet wheel ect, will have to look in to these pulsar turbos, never heard of them before now
Wow,would much rather have the cossie over the Porsche any day a true proper motor,awesome machine and the sound in just perfection wow wow wow!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
the is200 lads over here in ireland and northern ireland all run Pulsar turbo's and propper thash them all the time, theres a white r34 4 dooor running 800hp running a pulsar turbo and the TD offraoders run them
Yo I new a Matty who worked at a Kwik Fit in Litchfield a long time go and he had a cosworth same colour and he took me for a rip down the A38 because he was selling it , that looks like the same car the one thing I remember about it back then it had gold basils around the fog lights , under the bonnet all the engine is all red with chrome bits on it. Think he said it had been rebuilt new head gasket and things it was mint. That would be wild if it the same car wow 💯👌🤙🇬🇧
Iv just thought the exact same thing, never really noticed how American the front end looks until now. Weird how you look at cars differently as you get older.
@@onthelimiter6529 definitely mate you’re welcome over any time I’m still waiting on some body cuts etc to sort the metalwork out so in the new year might be a good shout
I sold my immaculate saph cosworth for 3k straight as an arrow 😩 this was back in 2005/6 mind, and the lad that brought it blew it up 6 months later. Burnt to a crisp 🤦🏼♂️
..there used to be a black 2 door hatch here in New Zealand in the mid 90s ..it beat my friends 440 dodge charger in a street race ..extremely rare now
I want that car!! ( With the dump valve, I'm from Essex!) How many tens of thousands would a bit of kit like that cost now days? 911 to a H reg Sierra? I totally get it. Back in the day I sold my 255BHP Escort Turbo for a 911. I loved the Porsche, but except top end my RS was MUCH quicker lol. P.S Just subscribed
laugh out loud...me too!! but that was in 1992ish...we had no internet to troubleshoot. Took me 2 hours to find that poxy button!!! Its a fuel cut off in case of a rear ender I believe.By throwing the spare in the boot..it triggered the tripswitch.
Now everyone knows why I have a tow rope in my cars, to tow Dan's cars back home. Great cars Dan, fixed with a length of wood being wacked about the car. I think the Flintstones had more reliable cars. Basil Fawlty did the same once - same effect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excuse me pops but I do believe last time that rope got used I towed u in one of ya broken down Mercedes off a bridge which caused a traffic jam which made the news? Correct 🤣🤣🤣
Oooooh, now be careful, I don't drive around in a car(s) 😅 that are automatically followed by a recovery truck. Remember your ringtone is the AA Breakdown tune
Brings back memories of my blue Sapphire Cosworth back in the day I had no insurance no road tax but who was going to catch me.. used to get chased or round a manner great days.. no ANPR cameras... and the fastest car that police had was the senator and Volvo lol lol
Bit of both haha. Roads were very damp and that was the first time i had ever driven it mate. I didn’t wanna tell the owner his car was in a field down the road hahaha
@@onthelimiter6529 FairPlay , I love these cosies , the closest I’ve come to being in that league was a mk2 rs focus, loved that thing for 2 years , then kids happened and I done what I thought was the sensible thing and sold it ..... worst decision of my life . I’ll probably never own a fast Ford again now .lol So now I spend my free time watching other people enjoy theirs . 😆
It is indeed, the cars still not properly set up as it’s running an MSD chip for the old set up. Still pretty much running in but a valve stem oil seal appears to be knackered so want that doin prior to set up.
Awesome video guy's. Spools nice 👌. I know of another 500bhp cosworth that you might be interested in doing a feature on with being from your ways. Magenta ELE

Magenta is beautiful, The car is just a thing of beauty to look at
I had 2wd one back in the day, magenta, the best colour 👍🏿
Agreed 100% mine was that choice, it took some time to get it.

Got to get more cossies on the channel boys what a noise from that lovely yb
I used to run about with a bag of tools in my boot in my sapphire cosworth and my 3 door, and a bottle of water and oil. Good times.
I have a stick! Ha
Had a couple escort turbos n a fiesta! Never could afford the leap to one of these fine specimens.....

Silver one is stage 3 so around the 330 marker. Goes well but nothing like the magenta one
Great video lads. I seemed to suffer with an advert on average every 1 minute so had to cancel watching but loved the cossie.
No doubt when the turbski Kick's in it Sounds just like V-TEC Yo....🤘🏻 stright up Beautiful CaR....✌🏼
Love it! Had a 2wd Magenta Cossie, sold it after i got arrested twice in it. Apparently it was my fault and not the cars?

Proper old skool motors 💪new sub, great channel, keep it up lads 👍👌
Mint video lads.whats the spec of the turbo and what size waste gate
That’s gonna be one for John to find out, I’ll get details and let you know. All I know is it’s a GTX30
Beautiful machine lads 👍 thing sounds amazing! I’ve been in a couple of similar power cossie’s and it was terrifying 😁
Great video what a beautiful machine evil 😈
That red sapphire is sick ill...”mad acceleration.”
I once drove a 4x4 2.0 turbo estate cosworth. Must have been 1994/95. In white.
I’ve never seen another .
