2.0 liter, 6 speed manual...
nothing fancy, keeps me slow and safe
Edit: Scrolled through the thread, it looks like theirishfool forgets that he already talked BS in this thread and states he has a car...everytime a new one
Having a Bimmer lump in a Ford just defeats the object really.
Seen plenty of V8 Capri's.
I think it's better when you've got a true Ford engine in a Ford, especially when it's a Cosworth powerplant.
Saw a extremely clean MK1 Escort this summer, painted in Castrol colours, stripped interior, rollcage and it had a Sierra Cosworth engine under the bonnet. It looked pretty much like a race ready car, and it was very nice at that.
My car. Its a '98 2.8 with around 59.000km behind it. Stock except h&r coilovers, k-mac camberplates, eisenmann exhaust and a m-bumper to make it look good.
LMAO, pretty much the reason I have went for "slow and safe" type of car...
I still don't understand why you would buy a car that looks like M Coupe but has a 2.8 when you could have a 328 coupe (or a cabrio at that) but who am I to judge other people
Yeah, usual conversion is a 2.9 cosworth now
YB's are just too expensive!
still, always enjoy the vid of the cosworth 4wd capri Vs the holden thats been posted on here a few times. and that was with only a slight tune on the engine (300bhp from the yb cossie i think) Sadly, quite soon after that vid the owner parked the car up and left it to rot
I had an E36 coupe before this (only 318is but still). The Z3 with its old suspension at the back and shorter wheelbase is very different to drive. Much more of a "drivers car".
As for the 2.8 - I hate it - but its the only engine in the coupe I could afford...
