I was talking to Dazza earlier on about Cosworth Engines and we were both wondering what YB stands for. Can anyone help? I looked on the internet trying to find out but I can't

Also, another question, which Cossie do you prefer? Sierra or Escort?

Vicky x

YB, in what context?

Escort all the way, but mind you, some of the old sierras are darn sexy.

Like I said before Vicks i dont think it stands for anything, all i know is that the YB engine is based on the old pinto engine.

Also its gotta be Escort Cosworth all the way!

Intresting Fact: The Escort Cos is atucally based on the Sierra Cossie rather than a standard Escort - i.e Esc Cos parts wont fit my car!

All i can find about the YB series is that it ran from 1984 -1989 200 BHP - 400+BHP

Oooh I didn't know that it was based on sierra cossie. the interestin! ya learn sumthin new everyday.

oh wel maybe it dont stand for n e fin.

I prefer the escort cosworth too

mmmmmmmmmmmm ezzy

This is a very sexy sierra.





Much nicer than the newer shape in my opinion.



I dunno, think i might have to change my mind back to the very old school sierra

I can honestly say I don't really like the sierra cossies as much as exscorts. and i prefer this shape......

to this shape

Nice!

Dazza, now thats a car!!!! Phhhwwwooooaaarrr!

That sierra is horrible daz, but dazza, that escort is one sexy machine.

that pic is the one vicky couldnt post

The sierra daz posted is fit. Theya re the best shape!

I dont like tha Flip Sierra - Ford's dont take kindly to Jap stylin or things like that in my mind, save that paint colour for a Paxo.

Out of the 2 shapes of Sierra - I like both, seen sum mint old skool sierra's but would prolly say the Mk2 Sierra was the nicer model, only cos I have more experiance with em.

i'd have any

Theres a Grey Sierra Cosworth going around on Black rims - The car looks sweet, Love to get a closer look at it - Absulutly love em.

Me and Adam have seen it! Put it this way, Adam almost wet himself when he saw it!!

He came the Unoffical CW Tuesday nite meet hosted by Dazza the other week! Sounds sweet!

CruiseDazza. LOL

Or

CrusieFord

The one to have is the RS500 sierra cosworth(racing version of normal hatch sierra cossie)
The sapphire cosworth is awful so if not the RS500 sierra then the escort cossie

Escort Cosworth everytime, they had one for sale in Hoylake Motors, absolutely spotless, for 12 grand!!! . They're only going to raise in price.

I know which grey sierra you are talking about, I was going along the Chester High Road, and had him right on my a*se for about 2 miles (before pulling into Gordale to buy some flowers ).

oh my god wat has he done itd look awsome though with a set of 18s but spoiler looks even dafter than mine lol!!!!

that is gorgeous!!!!

thats just awsome a real head turner!!!!

i think this 1 is sweet



i dont like the cosworth styling looks so much better like that

thats the best lookin escort ive ever seen!!!!

isnt that the same bumper as yours dazza??

Love that spoiler get it Dazza or Scoop2004 quality would look sweet!

Yo all, that car is a fotoshop creation, that soiler wont suit my car as im pretty jap style and the spoiler is very euro/replica style. It is a gorgeous car tho and it is dazzas bumper.

PS im drunk

i def like the escorts to the sierras an i really like the old rally style with the huge spoiler that takes up most of the bk window, def a car i would love to hav! great topic guys and some quality pics

Escorts rule. Escorts are defffo raly sl*gs and im sorry i made mine a jap beast

How long can a topic about escorts or fords in general go without me stickin me tupence in it.Absolutely love the escy but the sierra is nice too. I love all fast fords.Am not sure what the YB stands for but all engines have names and most mean nothing. What does RB in the RB26 mean?

What is an RB26! lol
They probs pulled a lette Y and B out a hat one day they made it!

Escort cossies are fit

the '26 is the skyline engine vicks.saw an x reg one in 'trader yesterday . an esc cossie that is,looked ace.last one ever

They stopped makin Escort Cosworth in 96 - But what a lot of people did was kept them and registered them at a later date (Is the X reg one white? Think iv seen it)

If my Escort stays then ill do my original idea which was to turn in into a RallySl4g - This is what iv had as the big picture. A WRC spoiler is on the cards for me Sporty but I gatta get 1st things 1st i.e Xmas out the way (Kinky's prezzies!) and gets me some skirts!
P.S Not saying I am but PM me if interested in making an offer on the S'cort

My mate had the front wings and a few other bits off a Cossie, he might still have them. If you've seen a silver Escort mk 5 driving round the Tranmere area, he's the one with them (not on his car though).

Funnily enough I have since am a local - Didnt he crash that? Asuming its the same guy - Had a CO2 kit with purgevalve on it?

Yes dazza it is white.I know it must be a late registered one as they stoped maiking them, they shudda carried on and never stopped but hey, lifes a b***h.And i really want one of tose co2 purges

Hehe, dazza says coo ee

I saw him about two months ago and car was still intact, but it could've been. He sticks anything on his car, is his name Mark Cooper?

LOL.....CO2 purge valves.........Noope. IF its the same one that goes the birkenhead cruise....he has got a fire extinguisher down the side of his seat which is linked to the valves on the bonnet, and when he revs it he grabs the fire extinguisher and poooooof! NOS purge effect!

The WRC scort is well nice dazza you should defo aim towards gettin your like that!

RB26DETT

RB = Race Bred
26 = Engine size (2.6)
D = Duel Cam
E = Electronic Ignition
TT = Twin Turbo

Actually Rossi that sounds like his car and he did go to the Birkenhead cruise. Sanchez off here knows him.

yeah could be....is the bodykit/paint a bit messy? I thought it was a class idea with the fire extinguisher though....if it is true. i wudnt make the mistake of tellin ppl! lol !

Heres some pics of the 'Focus Cosworth' I have found on tinternet - If it ever is realesed

oh yes i like that!!!!!!

Needs to be more agressive but i like it anyway.
