Old thread but Escort Cosworths are around 10-15,000 pounds to buy in England. Would it not be cheaper to buy one urself from there, ship it here and get it complied that way? I saw a Sierra Cosworth in Melb a few years ago going for 45 grand at Kamikaze Imports I think it was and have seen a couple of different Escort Cosworths in NSW....

Are you sitting down? Apparently a 2-door version of a 4-door vehicle counts as a separate model, but this is a 3-door version of a 5-door model.

Of course, this didn't stop them already approving the EP3 Civic Type R, the N15 Pulsar etc etc...

If so. then how come the Integra DB8 type r got knocked back?

I saw a Sierra Cosworth (Import) for sale in an Import dealership and have seen Escort Cosworth's in NSW driving with NSW rego plates... How do these get by if noone can do any compliance?

I bet they have a yellow plate on them somewhere. (IE personal import.) the older sierras (pre 88) are a different kettle of fish.

According to DoTaRS, a 2-door version of a 4-door car counts as a separate model, but a 4-door version of a 2-door car doesn't....

Sierras still come in under pre-89 regs, and someone had plates (read back through the thread) for later model Sierras and Escorts at some stage, but doesn't any more.

Lol just on this..... I found it nice today, going up Bellbird Hill (Bells Line of Road) 2 sierra saphires, 2 Escort Cosworths and 4 Sierra Cosworths lol. Also a lot of old Escorts, cortina's and gorgeous old Capri! Not overly relevant but thought of this thread when I saw them all.

Thanks for answering my question tho.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
