Ford Focus ... V8

[Fastdruid]

Ah, now that's the Jaffman we've come to know and love!

Hmmm, what to go into a Megane? Could go boring and just fit a Clio engine or go all out and fit something turbo charged like a VAG 1.8T (or one of the later "RS" engines but think those would be rather pricy!)

 

[Jaffman]

Tbh, the engine and box in there now is so similar to the newer clio engine I’d be a fool not to use it so that’s the backup.

I’ve not wholly considered any alternatives yet though as I want this one to work lol

Im doing a pretty good job at doing that at the moment anyway

plenty to do on the Meg anyway. It’s near roadworthy. But it will be a while

It has, but you haven’t seen how it got there lol

That's what I thought.

Fine video as always.

Six months, are you having a giraffe ?

Really ?

 

[Jaffman]

Six months, are you having a giraffe ?

Really ?

I’ve been told to expect 4 months from when it left so I don’t get my hopes up. He expects it to be done before then.
But even when I get it back you’re not gonna see the car until it’s all built up and looking good. So I expect it will take me a few months to rebuild it

Can't beat a tight hole.

Uhh, already, just can't help it.

 

[Barking Mat]

You not worried about the heat ?

the effort it took when filming to restrain and behave myself was not trivial

 

[Jaffman]

not really, its not attached to the exhaust and ii have a plan to direct the flow a bit better

This is amazing. I recall reading this thread a while ago and it looks like there is a lot for me to catch up on.
