It seems it's just that. V8 engine with decent power and a manual box is difficult to come by without going American. I'm assuming the auto box is useless for skids and generic fun or even a track car?

son of a diddly! mid engined V8 RWD mk1 focus?

Even a rotter/scrap car?

In a way that I don't use it and use a manual lol. I know full well what they look like and how much they weigh having changed an A4 DCT flywheel thing last weekend. Mahoosive things

Seen that earlier was tempted. What's the auto box situation with Audi engines?

Ffs that plate looks expensive lol And I'm sick of making adaptor plates lol Thanks for the pics though, and the info :up:

I quite like the mk1 focus idea tbh. Cheap as chips parts

That was going to be my next question. These engines mentioned The Audi, the BMW and the Lexus ones. Which have the best OFF THE SHELF upgrades for them? Customising everything gets tiresome

Nothing that small unless I decide I have a death Wish! although the misses' Ka keeps looking tempting being as we are getting rid soon

Thinking about it. Or something else if anyone has any better ideas

Please do. Thanks

Can you mount a manual to that engine?

Tempting, although it's expensive! Are all BMW boxes getrag?

I was going to say it seems a waste to rip that apart Daniel. I suppose I'm asking a lot to find one that's riddled with rust with a good engine and a manual gearbox lol

Because the Megane is done and I'm not spending any money! And this would be just a quick and dirty project to keep me busy on the weekend that sounds like a v8

I want something light and not currently rwd lol. Make my life difficult! Think v8 in something like a Clio, or mk1 focus or something daft

Yeah the BMW v8 is winning so far. I want to avoid f**king about with mating gearboxes to engines they don't belong on tbh. Had enough grief with the French POS in the garage when it comes to that s**t

Not spending that much on a toy lol What engines do TVs use? Always loved the sound of a Tvr

It has crossed my mind, I want a rwd v8. Unfortunately the steering rack is in the way so something else...maybe

Think it's the same 4.2 as the e38 mentioned earlier. They seem to be winning so far because they're cheapest lol. Those 7 series have a v12 too lol

280bhp, not bad. Seem pretty rare though, and auto - sucks

Yeah been looking at cars but it's easier to find engines. I'd also rather not have the car hanging about, then again it might be handy for parts lol. The trouble with audi's is they are fairly modern engines which cost more to buy and for parts. BMW's seem to be the middle ground then you...

Welcome to my problem lol. Go too new and it starts costing mega bucks

I do like the merc engines however they're pretty exclusively auto when it comes to boxes are they not?

I just want the engine and box to drop into something stupid, however, if I have to buy a car to do that then so be it hence no budget. As cheap as possible means just that. Best bang for my buck. Been looking at E38's for roughly £1500

i want a v8 engine and manual gearbox. I want it cheap as possible and as powerful as possible. It needs to sound epic too! What are my options?

I picked my focus up on 6 miles FYI mark #iwin Someone has been scumming your car around

I'm semi converted to the master race tbf. Do enjoy a blast on GTA v on the PS4 every now Andy then - no worries about a computer shitting itself.

Show me... Last good game that was different was batman

I'd agree if every game wasn't the same and had a decent story mode behind it. Everyone seems to skimp on the play these days and just ship out mmo s**t all the time. Then it's all the same Rinse and repeat. I haven't bought a console game in years
