🛠 Anatomy of Speed: K24 Ford Escort Rally Car - Part 1 | TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

[@haltech]

Watch this car on our dyno: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2jGdmWanKmCmpI Rally cars are a special breed. They forgo the insatiable quest for power and outright speed in favor of handling, reliability, and endurance. When searching for a hero car for this video we wanted something unique, technically interesting, and with a bit of history behind it. We then bumped into Bruce Garland - a man as colorful as his rally car! Enjoy:)

[@mrsideperson8405]

Here in Finland we know thing or two about rallying 😉

[@bradpittman5075]

This man is a legend. Hell of an interview.

[@haltech]

Yes he is:) Helluva nice guy too.

[@whippingstar]

Sorry dad. Bruce is the man I want to be when I grow up.

[@bushidobrown9857]

this man finished a rally car while undergoing chemotherapy what the fuuuuuck ABSOLUTE LEGEND

[@haltech]

Bruce is indeed an absolute legend and also a very funny, down to earth dude.

[@donttrusttheape]

Yeah, a fu#king legend! Now everyone who's got another excuse to not go and work on their car, should be ashamed. Can't wait to meet him here, in Goodwood.

[@deankdx]

i reckon when you are faced something like this, taking on a project with a goal to finish it helps get you through. that's if you can physically manage it between treatments at least, but mentally you need something to keep you motivated.

[@youwhatnow3159]

This guy gets it. Sounds like he has been through hell and back, but still maintaining his passion. Hats off to you sir.

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Highest Respect to the owner ✊🏼 He been through a lot and he still working hard finishing the build and racing again .

[@danielflack7902]

Bruce is the perfect example why it is awesome being an Aussie. Great car to go with it.

[@bushidobrown9857]

"there's nothing fancy back here" **immediately displays immaculate fuel cell**

[@robertboland3923]

Bruce a cool cat, the car is awesome and it's refreshing to see a normal bloke that can pedal an escort, fairplay

[@victor9sur768]

Bruce is the ultimate most unapologetic Australian man i think I've ever seen. He sounds like he'd be a right laugh down the pub

[@trentcrompton9527]

Awesome interview with a great bloke. I can’t believe someone didn’t like this video 🤷‍♂️👍

[@haltech]

There's always one...

[@GerardBendotti]

I reckon they miss hit it.

[@TheMrtMts]

This gentelman is a real inspiration how to grow old. Relentless bastard and so positive. Thank you sir and Haltech for bringing us the interview!

[@hespie1]

Great vid scott, loved the wee chat!!

[@bvward]

I'm jealous... He can still find his Old Fellow...Epic video, Scott!

[@PaulyDTheKiwi]

Best interview ever! What a great episode Scotty!!! What an AWESOME Car (I have to admit, I love Ford Escorts, I’ve owned eight of them. Wish I still had them) and an absolutely amazing bloke! Not only had he beaten a heart attack. He’s also kicked Cancers ass and says exactly what we all think about front wheel drives. HAHAHA 🤣. You Sir, are an absolute LEGEND!!!

[@SheepInACart]

Extremely well done to both Bruce and the Haltech team for this 2 parter. Its something very different to what we normally see, but both car and presentation are absolutely top notch. No doubt a bit of a character that'll offend some modern sensibilities, but you'd need to be stupid not to find words of wisdom worth their weight in gold from that much experience.

[@evil_me]

Best laugh I've had in a while!

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

My man applied the Bernoulli principle to his Stanley Johnson. What. A. Legend.

[@ashmiles848]

A cracking interview and build breakdown, well done Haltech!

[@driftmonkey3646]

What a hero! Cracking video, amazing car and Bruce is a legend.

[@kseriesdan9722]

A k series in a old esky. Now I've seen every thing. Bloody awesome

[@nathanpicot4880]

awesome video guys, love the piss tube part, 10 years of development, absolute legend, hats off to him

[@papapetad]

Healthy chuckles while covering a little beast of a car. Pragmatic build considerations. That was interesting!

[@haltech]

Bruce is a bit of a legend and a funny bloke too - which makes for a good interview:)

[@scalesales1852]

What a guy! Inspirational just doesn't quite cover it👌👌

[@kevinlawes591]

Legendary man, car and tuner all in one video!!

[@grantm1891]

I remember reading about Bruce in Overlander magazine in the late 80s. Still driving hard, great to see!

[@haltech]

Bruce is a deadset legend:)

[@StefSki71]

Good on you mate! Great show. Stick in!🔥

[@jermstaallen4913]

What a legend, great interview love the esky

[@kentbeitel9966]

That man can drive 🤘🔥

[@haltech]

He sure can!

[@arthursmith5409]

Just an awesome build, the owner can really streach the curb! Amazing

[@glensubtorq]

Bruce is a bloody legend! Fond memories of his story telling from my days in the North Shore Sporting Car Club 😂👍😎

[@mikejovi980]

Paint job suits it 100% looks really cool!

[@harryx6968]

Its by graffiti artist sofles.

[@jimallen199]

This was without doubt the best episode yet & the diving scenes with that little escort revving its nuts off had me giggling like school girl.

[@corex72]

This is probably the best thing to do with cars I’ve seen ever. Watch till the end you won’t regret it.

[@ScottSherrington]

It looks great, but the video still doesn't do it justice. Brucey you're a maniac and a legend mate! But I'm still waiting for that ride!

[@bushidobrown9857]

that emergency brake lock is an absolute game changer

[@TheCheekorollo]

Love ya work, Bruce! Bloody nice car.

[@brandonfairbanks5764]

An itasha style K swapped Ford. Hell yes, well done man. I wish you could bolt a turbo on that thing. All sh!ts aside that car is amazing as well as the driver. Good on ya.

[@SomeGuysg]

Damn that is the ULTIMATE CAR GUY

[@corex72]

You sir are a champion.

[@mcspeedypantsjr5713]

Great video. Must be a blast to rip the Mk1 on tarmac with that soft gravel spec. Respect to the owner for being a double-hard legend who drives in the approved manner.

[@Rtechmobile]

Legend of a bloke !

[@michaelhart5886]

Brilliant as always. Rustys Garage podcast series also recently did a story on Bruce as well

[@nanahc]

Absolute legend

[@fourocker]

This is a ball tearer, thanks for showing it to us.

[@michaelpotter8523]

Sofles paintwork! Lovely

[@PaceWorks]

I've never in my life seen a Mk 1 escort with a livery like that 👌 much respect from escort land 🤙💯☘🍀🇮🇪 Love to see that escort do Donegal or Monaghan (my home rally) 🤙💯🍀☘

[@deankdx]

after watching the boostedboiz with one of these engines in an MR2 wheelie to the moon, i think these engines should be well supported for a RWD auto and manual trans and everything in between before long. lots of great content in this episode also, even the pissaphone was interesting(can see a need for improvement here also still)

[@mungbean84]

The pissaphone! What a crack up. Awesome rig, surprised he hasn't tweaked the K24 to hit 10k rpm too.

[@veljo10z]

Ol mate sure can drive.. good job buddy.

[@Procharged32]

Great video, legend luvs to rev it.

[@PipeManPeep]

So, he's literally getting his "old fella" sucked while driving? Legend!

[@chunkyascharged]

Jatz crackers! I'm dead.😂 I'd definitely buy this man a lemon squash. Legend. Awesome car too.

[@petermoss4824]

this guy needs his own show .....

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

ESCORTS FTWWWW!!! LOVE RALLY!

[@cheromans]

Great interview!

[@hatredishuman]

I have been looking for a k24 swapped Mk1 esky to see how its done. I would love to see a video of it up in the air. The gearbox information is awesome. My only difference is I want to turbo mine but Haltec will be running it for sure.

[@kimmikko1]

Escorts is my fav car of alltime all from mk1 to 6

[@ricbaker4739]

Best video yet!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@newfan55555555555555]

If that won't give you a hardon then nothing will. What a dude! *ha! I didn't get to the piss story until now. What an absolute legend!*

[@WILDSTYLEVOLATILE]

Pretty cool that sofles is his nephew

[@hookemups6710]

growing up in Ireland with the small twisty roads the escort was the car to have.. over 100 mph. we always had someone in front telling us the traffic cows or sit on the road

[@mrdatsun211]

Awesome stuff!

[@noturbo]

used to have one of those back in the day

[@Gamer_Marcy_God]

Great guy. Great car

[@samsonian]

Right up there in the top 5 of coolest dad/grandads PERIOD. Now, how to convince him I’m his long-lost grandson??? Edit: I could use a gearshift/drift brake handle like that!!!

[@ANDREWF891]

Faaarkn close to that gutter on exit! 👍 2:27

[@davey_projects2977]

What a character.

[@Hybrid330i]

Nice one guys, awesome story. Chucking a 2.0l ecoboost in my mk1 escort. Would l ove to use a haltech however its a DI engine so will be reverse engineering the Bosch ME17.2.1 and getting it all working that way.

[@Woggin-ind]

Guys a fucking legend!

[@John.strong]

Often the driver will opt to put the tyre back in, if it fits Doing this makes sure the weight balance of the car remains the same and doesn't change so the driver doesn't need to change the driving style

[@magillanz]

and most rallies you need to finish the stage with the same amount of wheels as you start with, including spares

[@jonnowindow2075]

First 30s all I can think is would you even fit in that car🤣 Awesome build tho, hats off to the owner 👍

[@afroaliens]

I like it!

[@dallasvanwyk]

Came for the K24, stayed for the piss venturi

[@haltech]

an unexpected bonus!

[@aaronmcconnell9369]

Perfection

[@NSPOOL]

If pulling 9 grand sideways in the forest doesnt give you a hardon nothing will... lol

[@gayshelley2677]

Top man.

[@wtfwtfwtf7477]

That was awsome 😄😁

[@derJackistweg]

genius!

[@Sendit77]

lol u learned a lot of stuff going "through this escort"

[@capnthepeafarmer]

haha, what a legend!

[@backyardracers9041]

He's not the messiah - he's just a naught boy. (credit Life of Brian)

[@jmyd83]

nice one

[@G23teknik]

#kswaptheworld 🔥🔥🔥

[@ZionCage]

Hhah best video 😆

[@alexfloresjr.429]

Is there any mitsubishi lancer 1989-1992 model uses haltech there in australia? I wish i can see one of them... To bring me more inspiration to build my car....

[@1stWorldProblemsSolved]

Sell it to me on your death bed!!! 10/10 my kinda guy!!! I wouldn't change anything about it, that car is PERFECT in every single way...+10000000000000000000000000000000000000! BruceForTheFuckingWIN!!! That pisser hole is genius!!!

[@roserattan2496]

Wow

[@Sendit77]

Ole mate knows how to drive

[@wobblysauce]

The Diff cooling system ...

[@znebb]

Artwork by Sofles?

[@zac1728]

Yeah he mentioned that his nephew was solfles

[@znebb]

@@zac1728 ahh ok I must of missed that part, thanks!

[@harryx6968]

Sofles dad is into old volkswagens and has a classic kombi.

[@znebb]

@@harryx6968 style runs in the family then, eh? :D

[@DannyTipple]

It looks so tiny next to tuningfork.

[@haltech]

Everything does... 😂

[@chipsnpeasifuplz]

How big a deal is it to fit 1 of these engines into the mk1/mk2? S2000 engine and boxes just seem like no brainers when they're over 200+ standard and reliable.

[@SamInder-sm2hh]

What gearbox in the car?

[@barneybetelgeuse6273]

😂😂😂good one 👍

[@a.l.8873]

7:55 - How much can a koala bear? Heart attack, then prostate cancer, what's next?

[@TheRealMrCods]

Hellova driver 👍

[@wotwott2319]

You look like a giant standing next to the car lmao.

[@haltech]

He looks like a giant next to anything... lmao

[@erwinzeeland9390]

I share his thought about FWD

[@theraven26780]

hey i didnt know Rudy Giuliani is a drifter lol lol

[@haltech]

or Australian...

[@robertsomerville5377]

Not a good seat position for Scott (16:25 ). Your knee looks to be jammed between steering wheel & dash.

[@haltech]

You're right, the seat was obviously set for Bruce who, like most people on the planet, is much shorter than Scott.
