Keethos 842 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 I want to try out a Cosworth charger, I know Will e-mailed Matt from Cosworth to see if people were allowed to test drive their demo car and the answer was no Not the way to go if you ask me, the only way to demo their kit is to do what Subota Boy did and find a dealership who happen to have one and is trying to sell the car.....sadly none near the midlands 1 Subota Boy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me the Cossie kit ticked all the boxes, and showed what a capable car the GT is, bearing in mind that the car had standard suspension, brakes, wheels, and even tyres! This enabled me to make a decision without having tried all the other combinations, because it meant I could see how the system would suit my particular range of mods. You are absolutely right to require a test drive as only then will you feel comfortable about the financial outlay. I will say that the technical support I am receiving from the Guys at Cosworth, in order to get the correct map set up for my exhaust system, is very comforting.

Kodename47 446 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Keith, why this over the other offerings then seeing as it's a predominantly road driven car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got a quote from a 3 month flexi hamster advertised Newcastle sponsorship loan company who will only let out £500 at a time over 3 months, I'd need 10 loans for 5k with a total repayment value of £7200. A spanish friendly loan service is quite happy to spread the cost over 2 years for the same amount (5k, 7.2k payback), but I'd need an amigo to sign the paperwork... then I don't have to pay it back and they can 1 Ade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willtl 54 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 How much is this including fitting? No doubt this is something I'll be interested in if I keep the car. Will the garage that fits this take over the warranty for the engine or are you screwed if it all goes terribly wrong in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosworth have stated that the power is declared to be safe on the base tune. Obviously standard warranty only applies..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will the garage that fits this take over the warranty for the engine or are you screwed if it all goes terribly wrong in the future? The harsh truth of it is - probably not, besides goodwill. Very much 'at own risk'. Which is why I'm leaving it for now until I've got some value out of the warranty... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 I'd bet my left testicle that if you fitted the cosworth kit and used the cosworth designed calibration file, and you blew a rod (thats the weak point) or anything caused by fitting the kit, cosworth would want your car to investigate and get it back up and running for you. They have a reputation to protect after all and wouldn't let a customer go with a bad taste in their mouth. If one of your rockers goes (common problem of the fa20) or any other manufacturing issue then you would be on your own I suspect. 1 Jord104 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
