My donor car was delivered yesterday... Some specs for those interested...

77,000 mile (genuine) Sierra Saphire Cosworth with all receipts Stage 2 head, cams, stock ECU (stage 2 was sold prior to my intervention) Group A Head Gasket and Head Studs, Full engine and turbo overhaul at 73,000 miles. 1990 so no cat.

All the hoses are intact, the pic was taken just after he removed all the nice samco bits and K&N...

Runs nice and quiet, blows no smoke, but needs matching to current ecu

Fitted with Clifford 50 Alarm

Previously Owned by a 20 yr old who paid £6,000 and killed shell/bodywork in 16 days! LOL

A bargain at £1950



Muwahahahahahahaha

I like

Bit of a beast as a donor. Id keep the car. I like them alot.

No Point

Has no interior, shell and almost every body panel is damaged... lights knackered...

There was a complete RS500 less engine and gearbox that went on ebay for £3500 so a full build would be around £6,000 and won't be anywhere near as much fun as the 7..

Go for it - it should be awesome

GIT

been looking for a deal like that for ages

That will be awesome in a 500 kg car! Well done on the bargain... And reconditioned only 4,000 miles ago!

You thinking of building the chassis and all yourself? Or a kit?

Chris.

What sort of power do u reckon it has as it is? Should be a beast.

it would be rude not to fit Nitrous

Hey guys

I am looking at the MNR vortx and luego viento at Harrogate tomorrow...

Orders will be made and deposits paid...

My budget currently stands at £10,400 inc the donor (£1950) those being the final 2 in my shortlist due to my height... 6'5" (thats the money I have raised, not the costs)

The motor will be putting out @350BHP when its finished... green injectors, stage 3 ecu or standalone engine management if I can run to it.. as is, its putting out 225BHP due to the removal of the other items and the stage 1 ecu...

Much more than that and it will be dangerous...

Although a nitrous kit will probably be fitted for the days when less than 9 second quarters are a must...

3rd party insurance, didnt hit anything else
