Supercharged home made Straight Eight by Desperate Dan Vid 2
Built in a shed, it fired up first go. I was hoping it would sound real lumpy like a drag engine, but it runs too smooth, and it's too quiet even with unsilenced 9" pipes! The timing was a pain to sort out the Rover distributor runs backwards, I had to take the heads off to work out the firing order!!! See the shed it was built in on Vid 1.
Added May 2012: OK, my nails are dirty, maybe because I'm an engineer & build stuff? Maybe your nails are clean because you can't build eff-all & just sit behind your computer? C'mon folk, get a life.

MK2 Escort 4 door with N/A Cosworth engine
first vid of my newly built 4 door, with a 230hp Vulcan Engineering Naturally aspirated Cosworth engine. Its a 2.1, on HT Racing Slide Throttle bodies, Emerald ECU. Car has 100% brand new running gear, from suspension, to diff, brakes etc. Going to use it HARD for drifting and track days. Iv'e gone for the rat look, so if i crash it i wont cry as much. :-) MASSIVE Thanks to Neil @ NTS auto for all his help with the build.
