    Cossie powered 5

    Just heard a rumour that there will be a 500bhp Cossie powered 5 at FCS.

    500bhp??!!!?!!?!?!????!!!!?!!!!

    WOWOW

    Thats sounds a beast.

    I remember seeing a yellow rear engined one at Rockingham back in2007. Is this the same one?

    Re: Cossie powered 5

    thats mine

    i might be coming at the weekend but im not sure yet.

    and its not 500bhp yet , but is over 400

    im just about to build a new loom for the engine, but ive never done 1 this comlpicated before and imdoing it from scratch so lets hope nothing goes wrong.

    and they are very old pics, from the 1st time i got it on the road, its changed a lot since then, it looks really cheap and tatty in them pics.

    Re: Cossie powered 5

    not painted it yetm8, still cant decide between black or white

    when im ready i will do a poll and see.

    hopefully by nat day it will b a different colour and inside will be a lot more complete. theres not a lot more i can do with now
    except a bullet proof gearbox and more power.

    I think you'd be wasting your time with more power, you're only going to have problems keeping it in a straight line.

    Re: Cossie powered 5

    its got 235s on the rear
    oh and about 500kgs of engine/gearbox/spaceframe........
    so far i havent reeally got any unprovoked wheelspin.
    although i havent done any full launches but its had full throttle in 1st and 2nd so far so good, thats on a std un1 box.

    before any more power i will be changing the box tho or as clee says it will be going home in a carrier bag. lol

    and the 1st 1 built was front engined 4wd about 10yrs ago, and is long dead.

    wirings going ok so far.
