CAR NINJA Agreed To Work On My FORD SIERRA RS COSWORTH!

- I decided to pull out my 1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth out to get it ready for driving this spring. I knew it had a power steering leak that needed to be addressed but I was floored when the master German car specialist Car Ninja agreed to work on the car for me!
Turns out he LOVES these cars and was super exited to get his hands on it.

Brings back a lot of memories seeing a white 3dr bought one of these when I was 21 (1996) back then I paid £6.500.
Quick observation car looks to have the original fuel pressure regulator which you should consider changing ASAP as these are now starting to fail, it would be a shame for that beauty to go up in smoke.
6,500!!!! That is so cheap!
New regulator just arrived so will be putting it in very soon.
Brian your channel is criminally overlooked .... keep the good content coming 👌
I really appreciate it!
One thousand percent agree.
I didn't even know he had a channel until I literally just watched Johhny's Sierra Cozzie upload.
I do now!
I wish my mom was as criminally overlooked as this sizzle! Can you say Copenhagen! I’m not allowed to anymore!
Car ninja sent me 😉
That Sierra is so beautiful. I normally drool over Sierra XR6 and XR8. This moment I currently own 92 Ford Sapphire GLX with 3.4 V6. It's best car ever. It's packed with whistles and bells. It's executive. One of rare model. Most of you guys never heard that model before. I hope car ninja having a blast on that Sierra
Good choice! Sapphire is a great car
What an awesome video bro! Man, you have such a magnetic way of telling a story, I love it. I just hit subscribe. Hoovies universe is somewhere I'd like to live lol. Him, you, Johnny, David, Elliot, Ed, Freddy...what an awesome community.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
A low mileage RS500 just sold this week in the UK for £596k at Silverstone auction, it obliterated it's guide price of £150k - £180k.
The price of these are going nuts. Lovely cars, I remember drooling over them as a 15yr old back in 1986.
Oh wow!
Hi Brian. Great to see your Sierra RS Cosworth. I have a couple of RS500s in the UK (check out The Late Brake Show on RUclips when Jonny Smith came to visit me). Please replace your original fuel regulator with a new one. We've had a few Cosworths go up in flames in the UK because the old regulators split apart. All the best with your fabulous Cossie...!!!
I watched that episode before and loved it! You have a fantastic collection!
I ordered a new regulator from Brands Hatch Performance yesterday...just got shipping confirmation so it is on the way.
@@epicentergarage4952 Great to hear Brian and glad you enjoyed Jonny Smith's video. Very good call on the regulator purchase. It's literally cheap insurance. Have subbed to your channel and look forward to more cool stuff, thanks👍
Beautiful car. I had a Sierra 280 gt in Venezuela when that country was rich! In fact parts can be still found there because it was an extremely popular vehicle. The Aerodynamics of that vehicle and the lightweight was completely out of it’s age, what a pleasure to drive. Some part sites have still parts on these, they are in spanish. And great channel.. keep it going!!
Very cool and thanks for sharing!
One thing to look for is the fuel pressure regulator going bad and causing engine fires, a lot in the UK are going bad due to the age of the car, make sure you also have a fire extinguisher in the car. This is good advice, please do not ignore.
Just got one on order from Brands Hatch Performance! Thanks for the suggestion.
Just found this through the Car Ninja. Did 2 projects in College on the Sierra RS Cosworth. My favorite car of all time. In Ireland they listed at 17,000 pounds, around $20k including the taxes. Who knew. Value aside, I just love them, still do
Awesome!!!
In saloon car racing in the UK, they had big turbos and 500 hp. Ask Andy Rouse.
Sierra Cossie is amazing car. Like you said, not the fastest but one of the hottest cars of the 80´s. BTW. Hi from Finland.
Finland...AWESOME!
I worked on a lot of fox body mustangs as a teenager. That nose (center grill) looks a lot like an 85-86 mustang. The rack looks really close to the ones off an 80s mustang too. What a cool car. Always enjoy seeing your shop and your joy of cars.
Thanks for the info...I think you might be right.
@@epicentergarage4952 A part number cross reference and measuring will tell for sure. Hopefully the case since they are probably a dime a dozen with all the fox body mustangs made. Good luck! Hopefully will be 100% sorted again soon.
First click: Car Ninja with a Cossie ?? Second click: An unknown guy who likes small european engines instead of big American Muscle Cars of the same brand 🤔
A Porsche on the lift, lots of cool pictures in the background... I have to see more of your stuff

Greetings from Germany
Germany? Awesome!
Thanks for joining
Back in the late 80s & early 90s I went bicycling with a girl that owned an 88 Mekur XR4ti and she hauled her bicycle in the back with the rear seat folded down. It was black but I don't remember which color the interior was. Surely some of the parts are interchangeable.
Was it a manual or auto? I bet it had a dark interior.
@@epicentergarage4952 I don't recall if it was a manual or an automatic but to the best of my recollection it was either a dark gray or black.
You need to speak to Paul lintfoot or Graham Goode over here in UK, Cosworth specialists, what they don’t know about cosworths is not worth knowing 👍🏼
Love this!!!!!
"what they don’t know about cosworths is not worth knowing"
and thanks for the info
Dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That would be cool!!! Hopefully the Car Ninja can bang out some dope videos for the repairs/rebuilds :D
I know...I can't wait to see a video or two that he will do with it.
Sweet ride! I just saw Jonny's video & had to come here to see what you had to say about it. You answered a couple of my questions before I was going to ask. I've been following your channel & your escapades with Euroasian Bob, & now I'm subscribed. Looking forward to your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Exclusive access to a collection built with superb taste? Count me in!
You're in! :)
Thanks Brian, can't wait to see the final results.
You and me both!
You said 'civic' and 'cosworth' so I subbed IMMEDIATELY
LOL...Awesome
Buddy, you just keep bringing the hits with the variety. One of the historic cars for sure. Great content again, hope you get it sorted
Thanks! Will do!
This was my dream car back in the era, my aunt drove the civilian standard RWD of this exact body style, in blue metallic. Their styling is weird, both pretty and ugly at the same time, like only '80s cars can be, but this bodystyle was the nicest of all the cosworths in my book. I did later manage to get the 1990 4x4 16v Turbo Celica which is just about as special, mine was a JDM spec direct import but LHD, oddity, the paperwork is all there for it and the engine is JDM spec, not Euro or US. It's still kickin, just a bit annoying to get parts for, there is a Euro spec one of 1991 which should be the same car, but every part is just a little different, so getting parts for it is a huge pain and tons of shipping fees.
Just stumbled on your channel, subscribed of course !, loved seeing their Cossie, I had one for 9 years - sold it year 2000, kicking myself now, but yes just a pleasure to drive all those years, and yours looks in great shape, hope you enjoy it for many years to come, look forward to seeing more content
Awesome and thanks for the sub! Will certainly being doing lots to it in future videos!
Car Ninja put out a video today and the Cosworth was in the background. Can't wait to see what he does with it!
I know...me too. I really hope he takes it out and enjoys it
spotted it too
Hey Brian. Fun to see you on RUclips. I’m trying my hand on here as well. There’s very little US Cosworth content here so the more the merrier! I’ll shoot you a text today about the rack! Cheers!
Got your text....thank you SO much!
I look forward to your videos!
( LOVE this one but I’m a Porsche freak and the wall art, pics and the 930 in the background are KILLIN’ ME!!!!)
I am a Porsche freak as well :) Like you could not tell
Any chance you can offer Doug a chance to review the Cosworth?
My mate was moving his big fin the other week so he asked me to move it. I was happily plodding along and he was like come on man I rang you because you can drive please go crazy slide me round some roundabouts I was like happy days let's go.. He's actually doing a raffle for the car at the moment £5.99 a ticket
The best car collection in Kansas. Sorry, Bob and Tyler.
Came over here to subscribe as I saw the Cosworth video on the Car Ninja channel and wanted to see more.
Awesome! Thanks for the sub
That's a beautiful 😍 car I remember when they race those cars on the track in my country Portugal
Love to watch old videos of them racing!
Brian your channel is awesome!!! Cheers from Brazil!!!
Hey Brazil....AWESOME! Thanks for jumping in here
You look like the dude from One Flew Over The Coo Coos Nest.
Dang, I kinda do!
As usual you’ve got some absolute beauts in your collection. I’m no expert on the Cossie Sierras even though I came close to owning a black RS 500. I’ve seen vids of Paul Linfoot in the UK (I think under Paul Linfoot Racing) who is. He’s maintained restored and owned everything from top level GRP A race cars to rebuilding fire damaged road cars. Left & Right hand drive. I’d reckon he could give sound advice or parts for the rack. I saw that he bought a ton of spares from Eggenberger.and considering all those cars were left hookers. Might be helpful might be useless info for you.
Thanks for the info...I will look him up
I forgot to mention Graham Goode racing / motors in the UK as another possible supplier of parts
Unless its been done recently, change your fuel pressure regulator. Irrespective of miles they fail over time and when they do, the engine bay will be engulfed in flames! Many a Cossie has been lost in these circumstances.
Great advice....and I certainly will!
Oh my word. The YBD Cosworth engine. 5000 built for homologation so they are rare! And they are wonderful.
If you know the right tweaks - like adding a big, beautiful Escort Cosworth's Garrett T34 turbo - this engine will happily give you 350-400bhp...with the right tune....were you so inclined, sir ;)
I'm not talking about a touring car conversion version. This is a kind of hack - a very nice one - for the road car. Were you so inclined!
300hp would actually be just perfect
Its a YBB engine. YBD is in RS500
If you missing some parts I bet you will find them in Scandinavia🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪
Oh just thought I'd add, I have one of those engines ready to go in my 1969 UK Ford Escort, it will weigh under 2000lbs!
oh man....that is going to be awesome!
Id love to see the cosworth at cars and coffee this year! Such a cool car
Definitely!
@@epicentergarage4952 as a big fan of your collection, i cant wait to see what you bring out
So good looking!! I see merkurs up for sale once in a while and ... well... that's as close as I can get
Merkurs are great cars...love the 2.3 turbo engine.
It sure has a strong resemblance to the Merkur XR4ti, you might try Lucas power steering fix before you replace the power steering pump. That stuff is remarkable.
They certainly do have strong ties to one another. Good suggestion! Thanks
It's based on the same bodyshell. Ford USA tried to sell the Sierra in America as the Merkur XR4ti.
Here in the UK Sierras used to be everywhere, Cosworths were rare as they were a fortune to insure in the 80's and 90's.
Also Sierra Cosworth 2.0 engine is basically a Pinto block with a 16v head.
1999 SkylineGTR! Great channel Brian!
Thanks 👍
@@epicentergarage4952 actually those can’t be imported yet… hmm I’m thinkin an odd Honda or a Nissan of some sort now. I’ve changed my mind! It’s killin me what it is!
Bro, change the oil on that thing - on Ninja's video, the oil filter had a 2016 date on it!
I know, I know :) Its been sitting for a long time...but once back, all new fluids!
You can pull the lock release on the lift as you raise a vehicle to eliminate the clang as the lift gets past the locks. It hurts nothing and causes no issues.
That is actually a REALLY good idea! They are soooo loud. Thanks
@@epicentergarage4952 I have lifts at work. I do it for my ears, blinking, and sanity.
1998 R33 Nissan skyline GTR's are just hitting the 25 year old allowance for importing so that's my bet
That would be awesome...but nope
Mate you got a cozzer! 👍
Oh yeah!
GGR Graham Goode Racing in the UK for 99.9% of parts u need will be in stock. Not sure is there much available in the USA for them if at all. Good to see more and more Cossie owners popping up in the USA 👍 I’m in Ireland and have had 3 door Sierra cosworths, 4 door Sierra cosworths and my escort cosworth is back for my second term of ownership. Truly great cars standard power ones aren’t for me they are at their best for road use at the 350-380bhp mark but I get why some like to keep them standard. Came across your channel by chance and keen to see updates on this car 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for the info....and from a multi cosworth owner!
Try Burton power in England for the exhaust. Back in the day a mongoose or scorpion stainless exhaust was the choice for a cossie
Great suggestion! Thanks
Today there was a big car show in the UK and one of these Fords sold for over £500,000
I bet it was a racing RS500....?
Hey brother, should have known it was yours.
Bet you would have fun chasing the abandoned RS200 that lives in Japan, in a parking garage in Tokyo if memory serves
RS200 is one of my favorite cars!
Toyota Celica T180 (5th gen), 4 wheel steering model (which were Japan only)
Oh man that would be awesome...maybe someday. That is not it this round though
Mitsubishi GTO maybe?
Awesome video, as always!👍👍
That would be cool....but nope :)
Arms race! I just added nitrous and methanol injection!
I think yours will always be faster :)
@@epicentergarage4952 in my mind…
Cosmos!
I would LOVE one of those....but that is not it.
For Cosworth part’s contact Graham Goode Racing in the U.K or Paul Linfoot Racing in the U.K
Will do! Thanks
Hey Brian! Did you happen to purchase this car out of Winter garden, Florida???
Andover, Ks here! 😊 I'll say your getting a Japanese spec'd R32 Skyline GTR?
Not a GTR...good guess though.
Possibly a Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 Brian 🤔
Not a 3000GT....good guess though
Brian is getting a Trabant from japan.
LOL...good guess but no
Honda Civic Type R
Yes but someone already won! Sorry
Huh. I didn't know XR4Ti's were different. I assumed they were just a rebadge. TIL.
it's gonna be a 1996 Twin Turbo Supra with a manual
Not a Supra
@1:48 Is it a Mitsubishi Starion turbo?
I really want that hot-wheels for my collection,
better if you can sign it jaja
Not a Starion although that would be cool.
Surely you can buy rebuild kits from the UK where they were really popular
Several have given me good leads. Most offer entire racks but they are right hand drive.
@@epicentergarage4952 sorry, didn’t think of that, us Aussies are RHD
An R32 Skyline GTR?
You getting a Series 3 Mazda RX7 with the Factory 12A Turbo Engine.
Now that would be BAD...but not an RX7
@@epicentergarage4952 RX3 Coupe then?
Honda sunny/pulsat gti-r
Honda brand is correct but what model specifically?
Dick Johnson Racing in Australia had the quickest RS 500's in the World.
I LOVE the RS500 race cars.
I think the car will be a Japanese market classic Mini 1300 Cooper ......
I do love those but nope...
A sierra cosworth rs500 sold in the uk yesterday for £530,000 😳
I heard that...CRAZY
Have a look at Adam Smith at Paul Linfoot Racing in the UK on U Tube, loads of RS500 content and history.
Sweet...will certainly take a look. Thanks!
We have a WINNER! Fueled by Adventures is correct....EK Civic Type R.
