what a way for a thread to go downhill.who the fuck cares what it looks like.if it gets the car on the road quicker and does the numbers then thats the main thing rather than us lot to stand at a show and go "ooh aaa" at the engine bay.

 

I'd rather have a shit looking, but performing engine - than a pretty beautiful engine that doesn't work!

 

sorry miss red that,, no this engine will be stayin in for as long as it runs

 

Jeez, who would have thought a photo of an engine could open such a can of worms. Will need to see this at Knockhill sometime soon!

 

i know!! what would you expect from a barn find!!

 

Totally agree

 

 

Its a garage

 

Anybody that knows andy knows that his cars always look the bawz inside and out ! aswell as his workshop etc,so i am sure andy will make it look as good as poss, in the time he has, but at the end of the day its a race car not a show car ,and i am sure it will do the job , or he wouldnt of bought it.as for price who gives a fuck he will of paid what he thought its worth . its not coming out our pocket! am sure he would rather be in 1st pl. way an ugly engine ,over looks!!! its like a bunch of woman bitching !!

 

nice edit

 

My personal take on it - when the car is flying round a track, the bonnet is down and you can't see the engine...

And looking at the power figures, all most people will be seeing is Andy going past them!

Look forward to the Time Attack results soon

 

Best of luck with the attack Andy. Its nice to see some ford nuts putting it upto the jap folk. Plus i think the new engine looks tough as fook. Hopefully it does the job..

 

Looking at the power figure, the spread of torque is fucking great, looks like a VERY long useable power band!!

Think this is going to be a phenomenal combination myself, get one of the boys in the shop to polish the intake with some Autosol and then do this to the rest of the wankers on here

What gearbox are you running now Andy?

 

ffd sequential

 

my mate duncan says his arse was twitching that you would beat his lap record at the hill,if you beat it would you give him a go in the focus at getting the record back?

 

Well that's just not fair anymore

Go do a top speed run too!!

I remember going for a run up Crail with you in the black Escort years ago, wish I was in Scotland now for a run in this fucker!!!

 

Cant wait to see this car go at the Knockhill TA round , its the first thing im going to make it to this year.

 

i will have a lift up to see what the stutgart power is like

 

what was wrong with the current engine andy?

 

Not fast enough col

 

lol

 

im serious

 

thats what im laughing at

 

What kind of barns you been running about lately???????????


Anything else interesting?????????


Any chance of letting me no where it is???????

 

if i managed to get an engine running that power i wouldnt give a toss how it looked as long as it got me going as fast as this! good luck andy will be cheering you on at knockhill!

 

You pay for the engineering, not the presentation! You can always dress it up to suit once it's in the car if you really want to!

 

You thought about a paddle shift/ air shifter to go with it?
I here on the up shift you can have them to change gear for you

 

or the downshift i think hes thought about it

 

Realy! that is trick ... bet is a heck of a lot of cash tho' but i recon it would be worth it

 

yip you can even put it in auto mode just set rpm for down shift and up shift..thou you still click paddle for down shift but it wont change down till the rpm has dropped below the set value,, so going up the straight coming to a hairpin you can click down say 4 gears the it will only change down when the rpm has dropped,, and it blips the throttle for you!!

 

Proper!

 

Fuckin' ell, 5 pages of bullshit because the engine doesn't have any chrome or powdercoating, half the users on here obviously need to piss off to the concours section.

If it does the business, then its money well spent, end of!

 

The presentation looks very similar to my mate jt's drag racing probe with

a jg engine in it and that runs sevens with 900bhp, no gas.

And from what he has spent over the years with jg, I would say 45k is a

very conservative estimate

I think it looks the nuts mate, I love inventive engineering

puddy

 

chrome don't get you home

 

me

was at Brands. Couldn't believe you could wander around in and out of the garages with such cool cars there!












Good luck in TimeAttack Andy.

 

Cant believe they havent chromed their steering column in that rs200, its never going to be fast looking like that

 

Now i can't stand people that spend a fotune "dressing up" their engine bays but i can see the point that some people are trying to make.

If i was buying a very expensive fresh built engine i would expect to see someone who has that level of perfection in his engineering carry it through in their prep and cleanlyness of exterior engine componenets.

I've seen pro (bike) engine builders who would never allow even the rusty fastners on the front of that engine to even enter their clean room for engine building.

That is an interesting looking inlet. The critical bit that you can't see is how all those joints and surface changes are finished on the inside. I can tell you that it was TIG welded by someone that i would class as average rather than someone who fabricates moto gp frames everyday. The welds round the injector bosses are a little cold.

 

Doug, I doubt the fasteners did look like that when it was originally collected and paid 45K for however many years ago.

 

I was under the impression that it had just been freshly rebuilt and not yet run aprt from on the dyno?
