Yep, still sat here making it go 'brrrummm' - re-timed the engine in since the other day, perked it up a bit. Next stop, get the bloody thing moving again so we can have a more interesting video....

A few pops for good measure (I was testing whether it needed some more fuel cut when you lift the throttle slightly....yes, yes it does... )

I know, I said I wouldn't post another one, the next one would be it on it's wheels outside, but I just wanted to finish things off before we took the engine out for a spanner check, oil change, loctite session, etc.....plus, I found this shiny red button....well, you've got to press a shiny red button - it's the rules.


And look, I even treated you to a different camera angle for the first 20 seconds for a change, see, now it's boring video from a different angle - so that's fine.

Remember I told you guys about a friend of mine who was splicing two Honda's together into a V8?
Well he had that running quite a while ago and then stripped it back down and we never heard about it again for a while.

Today he told me the reason. He's turned it into a sleeve-valved 2-stoke F20c-based V8.
It's going in the car soon so hopefully some video will be forthcoming!

I think the moment you start realising you may have OCD over the build is when you find yourself in the middle of making your own custom circlips....



... I need a new hobby.

He is mental when it comes to engines. He's got that triple rotary Peugeot 205 you may have seen at Goodwood and doing the rounds on Facebook lately.

Colour coded driveshafts?
Yes, not content with being the fashion leaders with colour-coded brakepads, we're now forging the way for the Next Hot Thing™ of 2019 - colour coded driveshafts, you saw them here first:





And a quick picture to show how well the combination of the Spiralox circlips and the counterbored CV stars work - there's no way in hell it's knocking those circlips off!

did you just wrap something?

is this your (in)mate?


that sounds epic. he cant come to Donington ever though.

which is a massive shame. if someone would carpet bomb that village (not the track) that would be good.

BuggyofMildDiscomfort

That's the one. Don't worry about Donnington, put your passport and undies in a case and go watch Plaines et Vallees in November.
