Snoozin Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 13 hours ago, browndog said: I had one of these (actually I have had several!) but the last one I had was the most memorable. Magenta in colour, I removed the horrible 8V twin cam and repowered it with a YB Cosworth, put the Cossie suspension in, with Escort Cosworth wheels. Boost turned up a bit, it was pretty badass. I immediately thought of PLAYLD, which had the YB in it and the mahoosive stereo and TVs and everything, back in the glory days of 4 n Rotary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none of the sound equipment! I did the YB conversion on that wagon too, I had forgotten about it to be honest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The torque split thing was great, you could hang the arse out really easily but it never felt like it would throw you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
