I had a RWD saphire Cosworth 10 years ago and loved it, with a stage 1 chip it had about 260 hp, oversteer heaven

I reckon it was faster than my classic with PPP (except through the twisties)

 

Used to dream of owning a Escort Cossie and liked the 2 door Sierras but opted for the Scooby as you could buy them new at the time I was ready to own one. Like any cherished Cossie/Evo/Impreza

 

Speaking as a cossie owner i see you scooby drivers as other enthusiasts although you do get the odd couple who don't like being beaten in a race.

My weapon of choice 335 bhp of pleasure

 

Does anyone else think that it's a bit weird to refer to your car a 'a weapon'

 

Nope as it's only a saying lol.

 

a car only becomes a weapon when its in the wrong hands.

 

A bit like referring to a car as a "fantastic tool"

 

You're on form today!!!

As for someone asking if there would be an Impreza WRX today without the Cossies I would say yes but not in series production maybe.

It was all to do with racing regulations at the time that manufacturers had to make a certain number of road cars before they could compete in races/rallies. Hence the '500' in RS500.

Lecture over.

 

Very true m8.

 

Hello kev mate batfink from pf here

 

Thanks for replying but it was a rhetorical question. Certain cars laid the foundation for others to follow. Would we have had the Cossie without the Quattro or Integrale? (Also rhetorical).

 

Just moved to Hucknall (jct 26 M1) and was told about a local RS garage, went to check it out a couple of weeks ago, some really nice examples, anyone dealt with them ?? http://www.jct28.co.uk/frames/view-vehicles.htm

 

i own a my 94 wrx as my everyday driver, a lot less laggy than a cossie great fun round the twisty bits but i also have this pugged away in the garage

 

Hi
I wish i could say that the Scoob would receive such respect on Passion Ford but I think it would get a hard time. If I wanted an everyday car I would prefer a Scoob to a Cossie, as its now getting older & showing it.

Still love the Sapphire in white.

Yes, got my 05 WRX from them last month. Good to deal with, in and out within a day leaving my old motor for part ex!
Have good close look at the RS Focuses if thats what your after, some not as pristine as they say.

Trev

 

Forgot to mention, I dont mind cossie drivers, a mate of mine has an immaculate Escort Cossie large turbo, had it from new.
Sure Gary wont mind if I post his motor on here!

 

[quote=Jon(m600bhp)(lots of scoobs doing 10/11 sec qtrs) [/quote]

even some doing mid 9`s now

but i always fancied a cossie as well (the escort) and was really close to buying one at one point but i bought the scoob instead , definatly nothing chavy about them m8 i would say the scoobs have got a more chavy reputation im afraid to say

 

Cheers, going up again Tue to see what sort of P/X deal they can offer. TBH not 100% sure if I am going to change all depends on the deal and what they have in.

 

cossies are sound,i've always loved them.my mate drive a red sapphire 4x4
only a few of them made in that colour.

 

Stunning

Three doors dont get much prettier than that, loving the rare RL7s too mate, my saff wore some of those for a while

 

I would give my right arm for any type of cossie brand new (except the Scorpio) however if your looking for the cheapest cossie in the world...these wouldn't be far off the top of the list

 

this is my cousin's cossie. the picture does not do the car any justice. its in showroom condition. with around 55.000 miles. he's the second owner. its never seen rain or snow. you dont c them like this anymore. a true classic.



thanks vish.

 

 

I've got 2 escort cossy's and I have had no reliability issues with them tbh.
Jon can't spell 'cause he's northern. Us southern cossy owners don't have that problem

 

cossies are cool imho .

can be fooking hard word to maintain though !

 

Hiya daniel hows it going m8.

 

Love them!

I too used to have a white one, bit expensive to run back then (i was 19) it slayed every scoob I came accross





great car sideways all the way up the road in the wet

times change, and I wouldnt swap the scoob for the world now

 

Good thanks mate you?

 

nice car m8 looks like the suspensions been dropped a fair bit

 

Would have put my name down for a focus rs if they were 4wd.... shame the cossie has been well and truely killed off

Escorts and 3drs still look lovely, need a bit of work to make them right though. They dont look very good standard.
