Had I known you were coming over here within 2 miles of my house I'd of got you to drop G88 off James

 

This year 2.2 strokers will be the new black LOl

 

Ive heard that before too many pies not enough fingers is your problem m8 Glad you got it sorted tho

 

not yet mate and wont be anytime soon lol

i was thinking when i seen the signs for preston that i should have brought the saff over for you andy

i havent been in a stroked one yet toby ,looking forward to seeing the difference


you know me to well pat lol

 

I haven't been in a stroker either but everything I have ever read about them seems an improvement unless you want to push the really high rev boundaries or set a world record for a 2.0 yb.

Mark Shead has always accurately explained what each mod does, Often conservatively and when he tells me about his strokers I can tell they are something pretty special in the torque aspect and the benefits to making the turbo spin up.....I cannot wait to try mine.

 

 

A correctly designed and built breather system fixes any breather problems.

Mark

 

Mine has a Wrc breather feeding in to two large spec r cans, it didn’t have a problem at 730bhp.

 

I have the breather that was fitted to this engine when it was in the escort that was built after yum. I purchased it when he broke the car for parts

 

That is very like mine

 

Should be tried and tested sure the escort it was in had near 700 sure mark designed the system on rods car. Maybe wrong

 

you need to sell me that andy

 

Ha ha I’m hoping to put it too use by this summer. My second hand bargin is very dusty at the moment

 

im on the lift at last andy ,after a couple of years

 

Nice! The exciting bit is putting it all together I can’t wait

 

more like wallet busting

 

plenty to start at before the engine goes in

 

Looks awesome that get a build thread going in projects

 

if i do a build project i wont finish it lol

 

What’s the story behind kaliber James is it an ex touring car from the 80’s?

 

I wish it was Adam lol
its ex boreham grpa rally car.that then went thundersaloon racer.then it was a rallycross car and finally turned into a rep of the kaliber car

 

Lol I deleted mine it was taking so long

 

Bit of history then James

 

Less pictures, more doing Kiely!!!

 

I was gonna comment earlier but I was in that much shock it's actually made it to the ramp I couldn't type anything

 

It has mate

Your as bad as me Andy,your saff and escos have been off the road for years lol

Ha-ha rich,I'm in shock myself lol

 

Lol mines not through choice if I had the bits in hand I’d order the rest tomorrow and put it back together next week

 

Don't give me that tripe , technically yes. But at least mine are back together now, I just haven't updated any threads about them


Just sell me G88 and be done with!!

 

I'm the same Andy haha

You must still kick yourself that you never bought g88 when you had the chance andy
Your just like me mate,to many projects and not enough time or spare cash to finish them all lol

 

I do now, but at the time it seemed expensive, it was about 8-9 year ago I bet now, I still have it's quaife diff though.


Exactly that mate, 60-70 hour weeks and I've a wife & 2 kids to be with too, in order to get some serious progress made on the cars, I took 2 days off work and locked myself in the garage with a mate of mine (no funny business) and achieved a lot

 

60-70 hour weeks....it’s a wonder you can get anything done, I don’t think I do 70 hour months.

I did laugh about the "no funny business"

 

Andy I remember when the car was for sale for 11k and I was very very tempted,but wanted a 4wd .then when it came up for sale as a rolling trimmed she'll for 2.5k I viewed it as the price of a paint job so jumped on it.them mark sold me the engine for 2.5k so I bought that to keep matching numbers and keep the history correct. Then finally bought the zoo beam for 700 .
So 5700 pound I thought was a good price for the car due to its condition.

Work and family life get in the way of cars ,but a balance is needed mate


I done 70/hours yesterday Toby lol

 

All joking aside its Great to see some progress with the kaliber car mate

 

You boys are making me feel guilty

 

Looking good James great to see something happening Must tip up for a look soon.

 

82 hours last month just in overtime, so that's anything worked over 40.25 hours a week.




James, are you doing anything with G88, or have I to honestly just buy it off you?

 

Cheers rich.you can buy it when it's finished lol

So you should Toby


Kettle is always on mate

Just to clarify aj

It will be finished some day

It will never be sold

If it is sold Jim Green has first dibbs on it lol

 

I do 252hrs in 21 days but get 3 weeks off after about 20hrs of that is actual work

 

Well the 20 hours bit is a bit more like it....for a week.

 

some pics of the car after getting the front end media blasted and painted .the whole inside has been been has had the same treated and should be in fresh diamond white[no pics yet] .hope to pick up next week and start getting the engine installed
