Project P.M.C (Poor Mans Cossie)

[Dave86]

Nothing too exciting finally got round to removing the rest of the engine and the gearbox.

Not too much of an issue as i was planning to replace them all with polycarbonate

'For no real reason other than I felt like it at the time I decided to remove the rear door handles and fill them.
Which resulted in my neighbours cars getting dusty... oops!
However I'm not sure I like the filled look so may replace the doors for ones with handles again'

BRILLIANT! Maybe the best I'll hear for 2013....and it's only just begun

....can't you just dig/drill/dremel the filler out?....or even sand it out and cover the neighbours cars in an inch of dust

Cool project though... a COS70R !

any updates regards the PM sent on the cvh sump thanks,

and on another note if you have the rear diff from an xr4i it will take power better and found good supplier for cv joints and bearings for the 100mm cv's, put maybe with T5 power you might opt for the 108mm cossie or granada cv's as these diffs are only meant to take up to around 180bhp so might blow a few in anger

i might be way off here but my 2p worth any on diffs , the sierra came with 3 types of rear beam , the cossies has the different beams with the 2wd having the 7.5inch LSD and the 4x4 having the 7inch LSD , the rest al had the same from what i know , 4x4 diffs have been ued on 2wd and stood upto 400 bhp and can be had for 100quid , hope this help

[streaky744]

sorry not make myself clear, yes diff is okay mean't the shafts. 1.8 shafts are push fit into the diff and won't handle power of a 230 bhp motor for long. xr4 diff or cossie will handle power but i would go for the larger 108mm cv's from mk3 granada to help the cause is what i mean't. but the 100mm from the 7.5 diff should do the job also

[Dave86]

Will have a look at diff options soon need to look more into the diff ratios too.
Cheers for the advice streaky
