A guy i know also had a 4x4 smokestone saph proper mint car RS500 genuine montune built engine 8 injectors t4 he took it to paul hills it ended up back with a t38 & remap
why i dont know but the car was shite after that & got sold on.The spec was mint before i cant tell you the reason it got down specced but all i know it ws meant to be for the better! i did tell him to go to harvey with his engine get a freshen up & remap or a gt series turbo but think paul hills talked that much pish & talked him into going to him
All cars that go there are down-specced. some moreso than others. Mine was down-specced quite considerably, to 0 bhp. And 0 lbs/ft of torque. The graph was quite interesting as all the way through the rev range it showed zero horsepower.....then I realised it would have been because two rods had said "I'm a cheap condrod get me out of here at 52 psi" and my engine was instantly a garden ornament and had wheezed its last £20,000 breath.
Lads...... Please forgive me for always raising this issue every time a EA question comes up, but it is my god damned right to do so (and I am doing a public service to you all!), having been made poor and having to wear 5 year old shoes and old holy pants and sit in the dark under candlelight eating stale bread by this twat.
Its this bungling weapon that made me lose all confidence in my Escort and Cosworths in general and thats why I sold it! Its new owner is caning the gonads out of Harveys engine, shame I didnt have the confidence to do it!
My new car, strangely enough goes like stink (without breaking), yet wont let me take it anywhere near Witham.....it has a self preservation mechanism!
