Nothing down here in Sussex yet. I'm just wondering how the pressure and weather that's associated with the snow affects propagation?

I have an Impreza STI. I love cruising past everyone stuck on the hill on the way to work and then turn a couple of doughnuts at the top of the carpark just to rub it in.😁😁😁 No electronic driver aids, just good old mechanical limited slip diffs.👍

Very nice, Martin.👍😎

I remember those engines going in the mk3 Granada Scorpios. If I remember correctly they were based on the Cologne engine with the dodgy siamese ports. The Cosworth conversion changed it to a quad cam 24v and upped the power to 195 brake. It should slot straight in to a Cortina.👍 A mate bought a Sierra Sapphire that someone had converted. It went really well.😎
