1548cc westfield megabusa at Oulton Park sad ending 29/4/08

[@marksw999]

Just randomly found your video clip and as a biker I am amazed what you got that Bussa engine to do before it did sadly go pop. Awesomly smoothe driving too. Pleasure to watch.

[@pip470]

Awesome driving, that car is so fast, good job avoiding the spin too.

[@ColdStartSwitzerland]

I bought the car to JP in May 2010. The car is now in south of France (near to Marseille) I recently change the engine by a new one (2010 1340cc) It is a fantastic car !! I love it :)

[@Gusjameseddy]

Epic driving in an amazing car! Off to Oulton for my first drive next week, spectated a lot, but never driven, cannot wait, thanks for posting!

[@Quikintheair]

Fantastic, It's fun passing the porsche drivers!! LOL...from a fellow westie BEC owner, i bet you could have cried when the rod poked out the side...Gutted !! (Nice vid though)

[@jeffc1970]

shame I didn't actually see the mechanic fairies jump under the bonnet and reverse the gear linkage to make an upshift a downshift whilst I was touching 130mph down the straight,I often lie awake some 5 years later wondering how they pulled it off?? I try to convince myself that a faulty batch of Wiseco pistons failing might have caused the rod to come off but even after getting them examined by two engine builders we all concluded that no, it was the linkage Fairies that caused the failure.

the guy who spun in the red car was my old man,it was his first lap out on cold tyres. it is a pedrazza racing car and i dont think it would be so easy to pass if he was up to temp as that car is easily faster than most at trackdays. nice driving tho mate

[@jeffc1970]

excellent nice to hear its still going well, I fitted a new engine (2009 ) when i sold it to JP I removed the newly rebuilt 1550cc engine before I sold it.

[@jeffc1970]

nope when stripped engine the pistons all had hairline fractures around the gudgeon pins, manufacturing fault caused the damage, engine had only done around 17 hours!

[@markgoodwin69]

Awesome drive mate, gutted about the blown engine, did you get any come back from manufacturer??

[@chrisdabrit123]

jeez, that downshift was an expensive gear change ! other than that, nice video ;) GREAT SOUND TRACK !

[@buckegit]

LOL @ the Ultima driver you put him under that much preasure he spins out LOL!!!!!!!!

[@jeffc1970]

FFS then you like others are also incorrect! seriously watch the video at 5.50 and see which way I pulled the gearstick pulling it back is an upshift!!!

[@flenny]

wow...thanks for the ride!

[@MaxxUK]

Sad to watch, have lost an engine at Oulton also :(

[@ColdStartSwitzerland]

My megabusa :) Now with a 2010 1340cc engine !!

[@pulsejet87]

That's a shame. The engine just locked up on my 944, I have yet to determine the cause. Of course that car is nothing like yours, but it's a bummer to have the motor go out on ya.

[@bridgecrafteng]

Hard luck about your engine,great video and driving.What sort of time are you lapping Oulton in?

[@ededdynova]

oh dear dirve fail, you down shifted instead of up and you wonder why it went bang! Plus you borred out a engine so close to it's limit. But before you killed it by the down shift it was soooo amazing!

[@eddepet1984]

Awesome drive. Shame about the rod...

[@jeffc1970]

@ededdynova are you watching a different video????? Ive driven and raced becs for 5 years and I know which way an upshift is!!! in case you dont for a downshift would push the gear lever forward!!and if you watch after the corner i pull the lever back! if you read previous comments on this video there is a full explanation to why the motor expired in brief it was caused by a faulty batch of pistons.

[@rocketpunch12210]

Was going to ask how many track hours do you have on the engine.

[@dixonpeter]

Your video editing skills are improving jedi, but I am still the master! :D

[@boomboompow678]

im guessing this is a track day there

[@pulsejet87]

Almost looks like you accidentally down-shifted then realized what you did instantly(when the RPM, and the con-rod, went through the roof), and then up-shifted, but it was too late. But I could be wrong.

[@jeffc1970]

@pulsejet87 yep as you suspected your wrong.

[@jeffc1970]

no never missed a peg, was piston failure, it cracked where the pin holds it and let go as can be seen :-(

[@ryancaffery91]

id say you definately down shifted, just human error we all do it dude nice ride before the bang tho.

[@citz]

bore out a 1300?

[@jeffc1970]

hhhmmmmmm... I was told they had never come across this before and got no where with any goodwill towards the hefty bill !!

[@uncompresstheknowledge8100]

WTF why put music over a video like this. amazing machine, great driving, and SHIT music :( Oh well, shame

[@jeffc1970]

errrrr it was over 8 years ago and back thencameras were not like they are now audio and video quality was shite as can be seen

[@jeffc1970]

I sold the car to JP in France ? did you buy the car from me ?

[@sjc444]

knights of cydonia by muse

[@BubblesTroubles]

lol @ red car with 15 square feet of rear wing spinning out in slow corner.

[@SeigeCJ]

god i can't wait till i hit 25 so i can buy myself a really fast car and not have the insurance people taking an arm and a leg. can't they trust us men to be safe drivers???!!!

[@jeffc1970]

thats the ones :(

[@checconove]

C O M P LI M E N T I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@subbiejon6325]

shame about the music.

[@kevbird1892]

That happened because you contaminated the video with that poxy music. Learn from this, NO POXY MUSIC.
