thx for trying to help ,posted on a cosworth forum and ............its a halls effect distributor , so its the dizzy 8)

Yep was going to say it's a distributor type thingy.....

 

Still have a soft spot for the old Escort Cossies..... well, the Lux version at least with the smaller turbo and small boot spoiler.

hmmm id love an escort cossie - minus the whale tail of course ;)

But The Whale Tail is the Best Bit! It's big 2-Fingers to the rest of the world! A proper Coswoof, without a spoiler is like a VR6 without it's engine note!

I'm with you there! If I could a afford a cossie right now the corrado would be outa here!

 

Tell your bro to get on http://www.passionford.com/ The peeps on there know their stuff. Should be able to sort you out.

Id kill every one of you for an escort cossie ;)

 

but the whale should be released back into the wild :)

[dazzyvr6 0]

2 of my mates have got escort cosworths,both mint and one paid just over £16k for it last year,and he sold his old one for £13k

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Agreed, the tail looked ridiculous back then and still does now. A 150mph car does not need an aerofoil like that!

 

The run-out lux models were the mutts, would much rather have one of those.

[dazzyvr6 0]

without the tail it looks just like a ....FORD...the tail makes it stand out from the rest...and ford should of banned people reproducing the tails to stop the chavc sticking them on there 1.3 escorts

[pablo_vr6 0]

and there-in lies the problem - apart from looking rediculous every 1.3 kevved up wagaon had one bolted on (badly).

 

I like understated - makes embarassing other "fast car" drivers all the sweeter :)

Exactly. Huge spoilers are gay.

the lux was offered from the start btw........it just refered to the interior trim IIRC all the exteriors were the same bar the delete-option of the whale-tail on the later small turbo ones :wink:

Unless it's on an RS500 :oops:

or a 911 Turbo 8) :lol:

[Kevin Bacon 5]

On the 996 GT cars perhaps, but the 80s 911 turbo defined huge spoilers!

[vr6storm 0]

Exactly. Huge spoilers are gay.

 

Unless it's on an RS500 :oops:

 

 

tbh the RS500's difference spoiler-wise was that as well as the whaletail of the std Sierra RS Cosworth it also had a small bootlid spoiler too

[chubbybrown 0]

it needed the downforce as it was so arse happy

 

oh and the 4wh drive sierras rocked too esp in cossie mode.

 

there cant be many escort cossies as they had to be stored in lead to insure them (almost)
