Title: New Wheels /Tyres
Post by bonnietiler on Oct 26^th, 2007, 8:00pm

Now, I know it's heresy, but I really like my Cossie Estate and am even thinking of minor mods.
So...Does the team think?
What about 17 inch wheels and if so what size tyres are going to fit
Stainless exhaust....so that it sounds a bit more grrrr.
Any advice for a bit more oomph..it's quick enough but no faster than my old Sierra 4x4...does anything this side of an engine rebuild actuall make any diff??
Cheers
Brian

a cone style air filter gives a better sound and a little more go.

The answers in the question.... the diff ;)

Fit the 4.27 ratio diff out of the 2.0 16v and you'll take nearly two seconds off your 0-60 time (and 5mpg off your fuel consumption);)

take a look at this thread http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Advice;action=display;num=1192493016
