Cant beat a good snakebite and black, just a shame that only one pub serves it around me (guildford)

I whole heartedly agree with you there sir grolsch all the way hic Where were you sitting then by the fire? nope other side of the pub if its the fire im thinking of as theres 3 or 4

I whole heartedly agree with you there sir grolsch all the way hic

saw you in the horse and groom yesterday and was shocked to see no stella in hand or beer for that matter! Would have come over and intrduced myself but was having a meal with a old school friend who i havent seen in years.

29lb 12 oz my PB still waiting for that first 30 only a matter of time. Currently fishing a 5 acre lake with 30 carp in it and there all very old and very wise unlike me lol.

Lives directly opposite me, used to clean her cars when i was a poor student ( no change then lol) also met clarkson, hammond, damon hill, jaque villenueve, sat next to john surtees on a plane back from durban quality bloke, the whole of the smashing pumkins in a pub before a gig, chris moyles, the queen, and various other famous drivers/riders from motorsport

rite found the mag ,the engine bill is close to being 30k and is running 122 octane fuel cheating? well no according to you as its a atmo cossie lol

There's a 350+bhp atmo YB engine in a mk2 escort in greece (it's even been in classic ford magazine) Yes but didnt he spend 40k building the engine lol

Yes but thats second hand, failing to compare like for like yet again. Besides it wont be 300hp lol Face it gaz the days are numbered especially when more people start doing duratec bits bringing the prices down.

A 300bhp duratec will not be cheaper than any other 300bhp 4 cylinder engine will be . They all need the same expensive bits but some engines fit into an escort and some don't . A full monty big valve ported YB head flows more air than a duratec head so will make more power for more of the rev range as well If thats the case why dont you see adverts from engine builders in osf/kit cars/motorsport mags with 304hp 195ftlb zetecs, xe's and cossies

Thats why i was asking gaz as there is no hope of getting a 300hp yb for anywhere near the price of the duratec, but as usual he started changing the subject when you compare them like for like.

Less than a duratec would cos they fit into an escort easy I didnt say what it was going in though i just asked if you knew what it would cost to get the engine built. Depends who does it . An engine is an engine so they all cost the same to build it's the cost of the parts and the install into the car that changes . A YB has steel rods and a steel crank as standard so if you use these you save a further few grand on top of the install costs Well from any engine builders with a good reputation, just asking as a friend is thinking of investing in a mental atmo cossie. And you seem to know a thing or two bout the old lumps so wonderd if you knew of any prices. Edit- and by 300hp i mean not just once would have to put up with a lot of abuse.

Gaz, just out of interest do you know how much it would be to get a 300hp 2L atmo cossie built?

Was there on the sat, the escort was there in the kent kit car club section. I heard that sunday didnt have a great turnout due to the weather. was very busy on the sat with some lovely cars. You see the lancia stratos replica on the hawk stand?.......... i was very tempted

either prefer tea though one sugar though now get the kettle on love...........

And yet gaz says you could prob get that power for a grand lol

Yer ive got some i was going to put on ebay But then i realised i must be going mad lol, 5th year in a row for me Rage against the machine ftw

Ive heard some people talking about this, Have you got anymore details?

phhhhhh the anglia aint guna build itself........... back to the garage for you and your not coming out till it moves under its own power. Nice camera btw lol

plus if you stick it on the dyno dynamics "bhp thief" at torque of the devil it will have alot less !!!!!!! What just like a certain 250+hp pinto

Bigkev is that dean woods in aldershot? looks familiar

Dare i ask how much he paid lol

Dont know if you have allready but it might be worth putting this on piston heads as they have a stolen cars section and gets a lot of people going through the forum. edit- post in in the general gassing section and the mods put it in the stolen cars section aswell

i kno the rover metro had the switch for the light in the cap but i dont know if it will fit
