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.

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

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
