No ranj lol just seems a shame to have a goal get the car to where it is just now & not go ahead with it. So the engine wont see 200 in yuum its upto the new owner to give it a bash

True enough, lot of money to lose out of the value of breaking the car if it spits the box in half, which is always going to be a risk at that power level with only a moderately uprated box.

stuboy

shame to see it get taken apart but least it will live on elsewhere

Ollie.

Hasnt this engine had a rebuild since the 194 run? Head gasket was it?

I still stand by my opinion that if its been booked onto the RR day it should be there. If it was my car i would definitely want to see the final figure before the car was stripped cos you'll never get the chance again.

Daves had posts up saying how fast the car is on the road so surely the box'll last a couple runs on the RR.

shame to see the end of YUM,the legend

Am i reading it right that you are selling the engine for 20 fucking k?

Is there someone really daft enough to spend £20,000 grand on just a engine?
I know you say it couldn't be built for that, but come on, 20k!

There are women out there that spend alot more than that on a dress that they wear once....

or some people would pay £200,000 for a glove that Micheal peado jackson wore....

or £20k for one night in a hotel....

People spend their money on what they want!

If its thought that the only issue with running it on the rollers is going to be the box then I would run it, the run would only use one gear and would be loaded up just before it starts so I cant see a problem.

I know that if it was me I would be pissed in the future that I didn't have a crack at the double ton but I understand Daves reasoning.

Detune it to GT30 spec and just enjoy, I would rather have that than a MK2 Focus RS and yes I have tried one!

I don't think you realise the cost of getting these cars to that spec, doing it properly and not cutting corners costs thousands,

Ring a few tuners and say I have a standard 4x4 cossie and I want 600-700 bhp, see what figures on the cost you are given


Luciano

Chip

iTrader: (3)

By engine he is referring to the complete thing with manifolds and loom/ecu etc

And you need to be aware of the cost of these things, bear in mind that the manifolds alone will set you back 6k+ for example

To anyone seriously interested in the engine, that figures isnt going to be a big surprise.

good luck with whatever you get next dave and helen never got a ride out in YUM but always looked great and to perform awesomly,

just dont go too sensible! i broke the xr2 up for 16.5k and bought an E46 M3 and only had to spend £250 on it in the 10 months i owned it, but it lost 4k when i sold it and never got used apart from to go to the shops lol

all the best

I've never even seen YUM run, but I have seen it in the flesh, and yes, I can understand the value in it from having seen it.

Didn't a certain Mr. Gallagher not spend £25k on the 800bhp engine for the flying focus.!?!? So YUM at over 700 isn't actually that far behind.

Always have a respect for people who can, and have the ability to, plough this much money into a car, and have to admire Dave's decision not to jeopardise the car, or himself trying to the the big 200. 194 would be close enough for most of us........well me anyway.

The one thing I always wonder when reading abou thi spec cars on here, or even in the mags is ''how much did all that cost''......just interests and amazes me.

Dave was i right in what i said above that the engines had a re build since the 194 run?

lol at telling dave what he should or shouldn't do with HIS money...

i find that sooooooooooooooooooo funny.

YOUR car dave, do what YOU want

FOOK EVERYONE ELSE

Its Dave

iTrader: (4)

Yes we got rid of turkish block, also had new pistons for high comp

Also had solid lifters installed, so this is a better engine and the last one and should easy get to the 194 it did last time we have gain a extra 80 bhp over the last spec on pump fuel, also went over to 8 injectors and a couple more pumps

Its Dave

iTrader: (4)

If anyones got the 45k just buy it of me and then do what you want with it

Best post on this thread !

Ollie.

I couldnt remember exactly what happened or if i was mixing Rods HG problems up with your engine. Good bit better spec then. I'd still want one last dyno run for "old times sake".

This is the best graph and will take some beating l think

You know what i meant... ive seen that one before.

Exactly what i said Martin, but Dave won,t listen to us...

Only kidding Dave, you do what-ever pal...

But i,d still keep it and put a GT3076 on it..

Less.

Well Dave you had your fun and sure a few bad moments but its your car just wi9sh I had got my passgenger ride in it oh well,sure the shell will live on

Neil@FastFord

No you wouldn't! You'd sell it, buy a standard Evo, tune the balls off it, get bored, do the same to a Scooby, try another random car and THEN buy it back and keep it

Chip

timrud

Is it just me or when you add daves list up for the engine, it doesn't quite come to near 20k!

Before all the hillbillies jump on yes I know it would cost more to build new blah blah.....

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

You,ve got me there you tart...

Seriously, i,ve NEVER spent on all my cars what Dave has on this Neil, hence why i say DE-TUNE it, it,d still be a storming Escort then with all the parts etc on it...

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Are you thinking the list is what the parts cost him?
Cause I read it as those being what he is selling them for if it goes in parts, as they certainly werent new prices.

I suspect the 20K was plucked from the air rather than worked out though, if you add all those prices up you will get a real total of 17K, excluding all the intercooler and oil cooler and radiator etc

snap it up, your making a saving

Nooooo green one

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Tim, Autronic is £1500 from memory when i had mine Plus VAT, turbo would be surely heading towards £1500 or more, there,s 3k without going anywhere into the engine parts really, soon adds up...SCARY.........

Pardeep

If i remember correctly, that was on pump fuel, right?

Pardeep

Green will grow on you Helen lol

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I bet it'll end up at over 30K all in if you add up everything at new retail prices and include labour and dyno time etc which you realistically would need to replicate this unless you happen to be able to build and map a 700bhp engine yourself of course.
