mine's not built yet lol would be good to organise something in future thiers a few monsters in the making and some already out thier I remember my last run very well flat out in 3rd went for 4th into second it went nearly did an endo and went through the windscreen 8 bent valves sir Lol a very long time ago
I used to miss 3rd and hit first in my mk4 escorts and shatter the clutches to the point no one wanted to help change them.
Boost cut in my old 3b audi s2 was like getting chucked through the windscreen and not a nice experience but at least that didn't damage the engine like your experience.

Ouch, bet that was a mistake you'd have liked to avoid.

I quite like the idea of Santa Pod, a set of Mickey Thompson's on the back and see it if will do 140 in the quarter, gearbox and diff should be plenty strong enough

Nice focus, I've not owned one upto yet do they deal with the power ok being fwd ?
And yep I agree can't take money with us, I went all in about 4 years ago sold my house and used all my savings aswell all put into the plant hire business, I was gonna sell the gtr and put that money in to but thankfully dad talked me out if it.
Many people said I was mad selling property and buying tractors but it has paid dividends now
I can now have the things I used to dream of and buy them as the businesses are generating alot more income as I've basically tripled it in size, but it is a monumental ammount if work though
lol But when I can have things like rods saph it makes it feel that bit more worth it

I think you are right , it probably would have ended up being broken for parts if you had not bought it. Plenty for you to plan and look forward to now you have it!

what can i say about the focus in truth well at 400 bhp its the best fwd car ive driven but much more than that i think itll be pointless imo . Its a great alrounder its fun to drive and its comfortable for my old creaky body and it looks and sounds nice so like i say maybe not the best thing since slice bread but its good at everything I dont think i can be any fairer than that

If you are not going to push for over 800 I wonder if Mark Shead would recommend going for a smaller turbo to improve response as Rod was looking for 1000+ ideally. I wonder if the 9180 would get that high or something else?
