Fact 2
‘The key-in-ignition chime for Honda’s are 4 tones in succession, which is possibly a reference to Morse code for the letter “H”.’

I think the tip about Volvo engines might be useful.
I've been contemplating some major de-cluttering for a while and have been offered a 740 estate with 6 months MoT for not much more than scrap value. A rat-look with an S80 T6 engine? One can but dream.

I think the T5 would be a much better bet, more common, and more tunable 8-)

Probably.

In truth, though, I should probably think about finishing off the Hondas before tackling Volvos.
If I change my mind, I could always base it on an 850. The plans are available!

That's not rat look - that's a cool racing lorry! (not a very successful one though, as it turned out...)

I know.
It'd have to be rat first, though.
