That's over two years mind and it's the only vice I have... I don't drink, smoke and am pretty much confined to barracks - it doesn't cost much to 'run' Scootz!

Works out at less than a tenner a day, or less than £70 a week... I know I would blow that on a Friday night out easily!

S'alright Craig... I've adjusted my posts accordingly so the last few entries make some sense!

your just trying to confuse me now

I think I have a fair idea what he bill would be like - I've got one of my own somewhere.... so 2x Clyinders +4x Valves =

I think Alec liked my crank pulley - as for the rest of the engine - he just thinks I'm mad

btw - you could have had 2 and a bit of my pinto's for that money




did he ever show you that audi V6 he was doing a while back ? (twin turbo I think ?)

looks great but too high for a seven possibly.

Has Alec dynoed it?? what did it make ??

Also it must be in your shed now or Alec has had the paint brush out and a spring clean LOL

Next time you see him tell him Gary from fraserburgh and the hotrods was asking after him (and Grandad hows he doing?)





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

not unless you've got really good eyesight - I've had it back for more than a year

assembled it myself to save 10 hours of labour - just need to check the piston/ valve clearance - then it'll be done
(just incase - I trust Alec, but its never been fully built + timmed yet so I don't want to find out the hard way...)

Not been dyno'd yet Gary as the machine at the shop doesn't have the capability. Alec suggested that Wallace Performance up in my old stomping ground of Aberdeen may be my best bet.

Still at the shop... Alec cleaned the room to take photo's of my engine for their website

As for Grandad... he's in good form - he's responsible for my block looking nice and shiny!

I'll pas on your regards when I'm next in.

don't worry I'll let you see it once I've got things sorted out a bit in the garage

other things seem to keep getting in the way - the central heatings just gone fubar (10min ago) I wonder what'll be next.....


oh, incase you forgoten you can't use that V8 cause you said I could have it for nowt

MMMMmmmmm

I may have changed my thoughts on the Blackbird engine !

The Audi looks great, whatever you fit that in will need a bonnet guard to prevent animals & small children being sucked in.

Nice one

Scootz, If you were to sell all your toys apart the ultima and the engine, Can't you raise the money to finish it off?

Actually I think it would pretty darn good in a 7 with those Trumpets of Jericho sticking out of the bonnet!

I've done the sums and it's a non-starter. I actually think I'm quite happy with the Quantum... it has bags of room and I can get (reasonably) comfy in it. Bung a nice engine in it and trick up the brakes and suspension and it might become something really quite good!
