h22andmaryjane Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hey ya'll!! I'm a new guy here, my name speeks for itself. Im in Mass. I used to looove my probe gt, it had full exhaust, sensei body kit, vis carbon fiber hood with the v-vented scoop hood, weapon-r intake, tokiko illumina's with intrax 1 3/4" drop, hella headlights with adjustable headlight conversion, NGK wires and plugs, gtr combat wing with built in blinkers, and few other things. As you xan see i put a lot of money in that thing. I owned it for only 3 years, went thru 2 trannys, 3 axles, a few header gaskets, speed sensor and you get the picture. :coughs ford p.o.s coughs:::-" I had enuff my tranny went again, sold the kit with hood for 600, sold the rest of the car for 600. For a while all my friends had hondas..they told me why, i never listened, my probe beat them all. Bought my friends accord 2 words...GOD DAMN. The best investment i ever had. I never got mad at the car for any reason and i had it for about 13 months. with 156k miles on the body (the body needs work...bad). I raced this kid he had a ford probe. The exhaust sounded nice. (this is my 1st dead start race) red light hits, i pipe him he juz looks at me and throws another. So i'm mad excited. I finally get to race one. Green lighs hits, the probe had a perfect take off, it looks like im doin a burnout smoke everywhere he's on me by about 1 car, i catch 2nd mint, redlined and grinded into 3rd , shifted into 4th going 75 i look down again 90 and i slowed down looked inthe mirror and the v6 was 4-5 cars back. w00t And my car...I have a 94 accord with jdmh22, zex nitro (i haven't used it yet), AEM cai, haymen coilovers, 17"'s, jdm body/lip kit (whatever its called), shaved door handles, jdm headlights, some crappy altezzas and a few other stuff. I wish i knew more about the honda world when i was hooked up stupid world. I'm a glad owner of my new toy =). w00t Thanks for readin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well, it's not really a domestic car, but my favorite car from a domestic manufacturer would be a Ford Cosworth. Cosworth's are freakin' insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cosworth's are freaking insane. I remember coming across a site a few years ago where you could buy a Cosworth Escort and they sold them at different levels up to like 500hp. Have you seen Getaway In Stockholm?

CleanGSR Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, the one with the Cosworth and Supra? The cosworth sounds insane and is so fast. It's pretty sad when even Ford doesn't sell the good stuff in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 cosworths are 300 horse rally cars. insane , is the ford rs200. i dont know if you guys ever heard of this car or not , but it was insane. at its peak before they capped how much horsepower the rally cars were alowed to run , it was pushing like 650 horsepower. 4cylinder engine.

EH6TunerDaniel Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, Ive heard of the RS200. It was a badass rally car, and for the longest time held the record for fastest 0-60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOSS 302(regular 302 for that matter). even the 390 big block is a good engine. not to mention 351 cleveland and 351 windsor. lets not forget about the 289 which is legendary. anyways you get my point. when people talk about ford engines being awsome , the last thing they are talking about is your 4.0 explorer , and 2.3 litre escort , lol , just so you know.

Cosworth's are freakin' insane. are you talking about those XR4Ti things, those are tight. id love to own one, they look pretty sweet too especially if you fix em up. i raced one once, i thought i had it in the bag. it was all good til he shifted in to second and i heard the bov, and i knew i was fuuuckked. lmao <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 No. I'm talking about the Ford Cosworth. I doubt you've ever seen one in the states. If you have, it's a more rare sighting than a skyline. Cosworth isn't available in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have, it's a more rare sighting than a skyline. Cosworth isn't available in the US. i do think i know what your talking about. i looked em up before, and theyre like the same thing as an xr4ti. slight difference, but essentially the same thing. theres always one on ebay in england for like 20k. its a big bulky looking turbo car, if not then i must be thinking of something way different.

cranny Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 you can find vids of cosworths all over the net if you search , and hung is right , its a badass ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The Cosworth and XR4Ti are way different, they are not the same thing. Cosworth was just a special model of an Escort. Search Ford Cosworth, and see if you find ANYTHING that looks like the second car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
