Good stuff Brett. Make sure you post up some details and photos when you get a chance.

Welcome brett, would be interesting to see what is needed to get over the pits. Keep in touch.
Tony.

Thanks for the welcome.
Went over pits today.
didn't pass due to being too low by half inch.
And they want me to cover the vents on the underside of the 4x4 bonnet.
Anyone know where to get some std height sapph springs in Perth?

Cheers

Brett

Welcome Brett, You could try (Joe 0427119094)he is apparently wrecking a 1990 Sapphire & is in Perth WA.

Cheers Matt

Brett, is it a 4X4 or 2wd, I have a set of standard 4X4 front springs in the workshop at home (Perth), but they are from an escort RS cosworth, I can find out if they will fit just to get you over the pits, however i am away in work till next Wednesday morning.
Mail me if you want to borrow them, we can sort it out my mobile no. is 0407193194 however i am night shift so it will be best to TXT me your no. and i can ring from work one night.
Tony.

cos086 is the sapphire that is bieing broke a cosworth or just a standard one? I may need some bits from it?

Thanks for the offer mate. Pedders had std front springs in stock so I brought them today. Just gotta fit them in and see how much higher they are on the koni struts.

Will go back over pits on tueday. And hopefully pass!!!

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to Cossie ownership!

Good luck getting the car sorted, I hope its not to painful ... at least theres people in WA able/willing to help.

Start a thread and keep us updated.

Q: why would they want you to cover the bonnet vents?

I think it is some bullpoo poo idea that if you get oil coming out from the engine it wont come out from the bonnet and go all over your windscreen.
Put a std sapphire bonnet on for the pits then swap it when you get back home. SORTED.

Nor can I.....[:-(], oh well, I guess this is what happens when you have been overseas working for a number of years and not active on the board.

But I am back now and it is time to get my RS out of storage, pitt passed/licenced (that will be fun) and start enjoying it.

Cheers
