nozzer Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 This is by far the quickest car I have even been in, let alone owned. The cossie engine was brand new when the car was built, serviced every couple of thousand miles. The engine has been upgraded to stage 3 specifications and should be producing in the region of 330bhp, couple that with the lightweight dimensions of the car (c.700kgs) and you have a car producing approx 490bhp per tonne! Engine:- > 2.0 Cosworth turbo > Only 16200miles > Ahmed pectal stage3 ECU > Green injectors > ITG Induction > SAMCO piping > Custom made PACE charge cooler > Group A Head Gasket > Custom made straight through stainless steel exhaust > 4 Core Alloy race rad > Bailey dump valve > Spec-R Alloy header tank Suspension:- > Spax adjustable coilovers > Willwood 4 Pot racing brakes > 285mm discs Wheels and Tyres:- > 15in Compomotive ML wheels, powder coated black > 7in wide on front > 8in wide on rear > AVON ACB10 tyres (road legal sticky race slicks) Exterior:- > Matt black badges > Matt black 5.5in headlights > RAC Race approved rollbar with removable stays > Alloy panel covering bootbox hole, vinal trimmed > Exhaust heat shield > Westfield graphite arch guards Interior:- > Sparco racing gearknob > Willians 4 point harnesses + Sparco pads > Racetec 260mm race steering wheel > Racetec removable race boss ICE:- > err...... Performance:- > 330bhp > 490bhp per tonne > Quick I have recently spent over £2500 getting the car track prepared and safe. Bear in mind, this is not for the faint hearted; wheel spin at over 100mph in 5th gear is not unheard of!

samcooke Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 People on here may be wondering why it's changed hands so many times in such a short period You might find more joy advertising it elsewhere: findit is an obvious one, kit car mags are good, it's also the sort of thing other brands are more fond of than Westfielders so try pitching it at Dax and Tiger owners. Even Autotrader or E&M are good for cars that read impressively like yours and may appeal to first timers more than current enthusiasts, IYSWIM.

John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Is this John Felstead's old car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 No - it's the red one belonged to a fella on here who swapped to an XTR2. AFAIK John Felstead's car is still being built up somewhere in deepest Cambridgeshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Keene Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 John's L16 COS is back on the road as far as I'm aware. The guy's that is rebuilding it has a website here... Haven't checked it for a while, so I don't know how far he has got, but I'm sure it's alive an kicking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 John's L16 COS is back on the road as far as I'm aware. The guy's that is rebuilding it has a website here. Just had a look at that site.....Ouch! nearly £10k in costs and 600 hours in time for the rebuild on top of the cost of the car! - mind you he has refined/enhanced it somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
