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.

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it. 
    • It always seems the uglier an animal is the more is costs
    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
    • I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
