myself and a mate of mine rebuilt my engine in feb of 2004 and this time i decided to have it live mapped on greys at msd instead of the usual this chip will do and we,ll see how long it lasts this time.

anyhow i left it with stu for a week during which time he mapped the car and sorted a few problems out that i didnt know i had. it turns out that it was the best move i have ever done in 11 yrs of owning the car.

in the preceeding 2 1/2 yrs since i have just realised i have not had to do anything at all with it apart from change the oil regularly and the plugs at the same time. i have never had this before and i can only put it down to the car being set up and mapped properly in the first place.

the point is, cosworths can be very reliable if they are looked after. which i think makes a pleasant change from hearing about how crap they are, not reliable, allways broke etc. so thanks stu, looks like you did a good job.

 

quick touch wood

 

another Satisfied customer Stu
same as myself mate

 

i have.

 

Well said mate

I owned various Cosworths for around 7 years solid and i didnt have any problems with those at all

 

Very true Ian,

I had mine set up by Karl NMS, never once did it fail me, and i drove it hard alot of times, just goes to show if its done correct, they can be VERY good RELIABLE cars.....


miss mine sometimes....

until i`m on a twisty B road then the Evo takes the piss....

 

You know in the year that I owned my 3dr I used it just about everyday with out fault. I did have a couple days that I was stumped on but changed plugs/leads then put on the old ones on again and it was fine LOL. I also drove my cossie in the snow.. not the pussy 1/2 inch snow you guys get there and the world stops FPMSL... I'm talking about SNOW! LOL

 

used to drive mine everyday without any major issues and its been right as rain

 

pics or stfu

ive learnt how to map on mine so it bein bashed senseless and still carries on 5k after i built it to and still no smoke or fuck all runin 2 bar to so it seems there not as breakable as people say not a 3door hey but same engine lol

 

A nice topic to read Ian, in all honesty, i seem to hear this from pretty much all my Closed loop conversion customers. They ARE more reliable than normal cossies as the ecu now has teh ability to worka round a lot of the small gremlins most cosworths suffer from.

A carefully applied dose of artificial intelligence sure helps these antiques run better for longer.

Well pleased your still happy mate, thats the main thing to me.

 

ive heard or been reading in the past about stu and his work
ive never taken a car to him to be set up but when im ready
for a cossie i will be on the phone

top work stu

 

Thank you Baz, very kind indeed.

 

i take it you do rs turbo's stu

 

We tune pretty much every marque and model of car under the sun Barry, including of course RS Turbo's

 

just had a look at your web site

never really taken any notice of it but then again never wanted
a set up but after my rebuild i will be looking in to it

 

The engine in my car has been prepared etc by Stu, and its never missed a beat so far...

My car should be back in with him soon to have the front crank oil seal done too.
