I can understand the 1.8T conversions and all of the other VW engine swaps but why a Ford engine? Folks can get the same BHP from a VW can't they?

The 1.8T wasn't out when this was built :wink: :tongue: At the time, the cossie engine was the most tuneable in a "bang per buck" sense, even when the 1.8T arrived it wasn't until the last 2 years or so that it's full potential has been realised.

Post by: piggy on 17 January 2005, 17:09: It's not recommended but you get more bangs per buck on Forest Road, Radford :grin:

Suppose if you've got money to burn then it'd be great fun but for that sort of money can't you buy a 1.8t conversion? :undecided:

Post by: carrie on 17 January 2005, 18:27: considering all the 'tuning' thats been done there was a distinct lack of vernier cam pulleys.

Post by: Little_pink_hulk on 17 January 2005, 18:38: saything that im sure u get get 500+ BHP out of the 1.8 turbo lump the cossie still 2day remains the most easy tuneable lump around

Post by: frosticles on 21 January 2005, 21:32: Has to be the Cossie IMO. Superb engine that will go to 600bhp with a LOT of money thrown at it!!!!!!!!. Would love a Golf cossie as I love both my Golfs and my RS Fords. (See Sig) Diferrent note, Radford eh???????? Piggy, sh!te-hole but true what you say...... :grin:

Post by: grayGTI on 24 January 2005, 17:24: yeah....you no the ford (Fix Or Repair Dailey) will break. just dont suit the golf.

Post by: Ronnievdub on 25 January 2005, 21:25: grrrrrrrrrrr ford kak in a dub. never would i have thought of seeing the words 'Golf' and 'Cosworth' together. 'Golf Cosworth' doesnt exactly roll off the tongue, its about as subtle as being kicked square in the goolies.
