I used to have a 330BHP RWD sapphire, that was a fun handful..
Not for me thanks. At the risk of upsetting everybody, those cosworth sierra's have got to be the most over-rated, hyped up, bull**** inducing cars ever.
Not very quick in standard form, but have you ever driven a tuned one ?
Every now and then I get to drive a 3 door cossie with 290hp, and I've swaped a yb cosworth setup in to a mates sierra aswell.
Yes they do go like hell, BUT what I cant stand is all the hype that comes with it. It just seems that as soon as "cosworth sierra" is metioned, peoples minds turns to mush.
always wanted a cossie, but after owning a fiesta turbo and the trouble that gave me, i gave up on that idea
Is the front wheel falling off of bottom wishbone cracked? That much camber must knacker the inside of the tyre in no time at all.
It's far from correct and looks to be at least 5 degrees of camber, which is more than enough to cause tyre wear and handling issues.Looks right to me after lowering - mine was the same and it didn't wear the inside out much quicker (barely noticeable at the end of the tyre life).
I once saw a late 80's / early 90's Granada Scorpio come into the local tyre place I used to frequent, and the rear camber on those is quite extreme (-2.5/3mm maybe?). It needed new rear tyres but over the life of the tyre, it was well below the treadwear (not bald) only on the very inside ranging up to the usual 1.6mm on the outside.
Incorrect toe would wipe out much sooner.
My Escort was -2mm at the front. Tricky to tell from that angle...
I'd be dealing with the little bugger that rammed an old bean tin over your tailpipe if I were you...kids these days, got no respect...

My front tyres are wearing perfectly thanks, and it does not have a wishbone at the front. If you knew anything you would know that Mk3/4 Escorts have track control arms at the front
