ive recently been discussing options with simon regarding my new engine build for my escort ,

well seeing as i spent the new year in inverness scotland and littraly having to come bk past his front door , , i dropped him an email asking if i could possibly pop by and have a lil face to face natter about some possible options regarding spec ect ,

considering i only emailed him the evening of the 1st and was going to be heading by his place this morning , i was half expecting to be told sorry but im busy ,


but credit to the bloke , he just said it wouldnt be a problem , gave me some directions and took time out of a busy scheudle and the holiday period to answer all my questions , discuss options with me , highlight factors i hand't even thought about , and let me have a good look at his car and his worksop ect ,

and have to admit the guy really knows his stuff !!!( touring /racing background )


he didnt have to do any of this , and on such short notice , really is a credit to the guy



so id just like to say a big thankyou to simon for you time and hospitality,

and hopefully ill be in touch really soon bout that motor bud !!!

beefy

 

Si always has time for a chat about cars

 

Simon is indeed VERY clued up on engines,tuning etc , did he not take you for a pint ?!

 

pint of cola

 

Nah, i've been out for a couple o lagers wi him before.

 

to be honest mate the moment i got out the car h asked if i wanted a brew , , if it wasnt for the fact of being quite hungover , and having a 6 hr journey hme i would of took him up on that drink lol ,

+ i made my friend who i was travelling with wait long enough whist i was chatting lol .

 

Bet he was waiting a while to we all know how long you can chat.....lol

So what ya building now......guess ya not going with the old idea anymore...

 

thought Si didnt drink at all?

 

He had a couple in dundee one night we were out too.

 

never heard of sitech where is he based

 

pitlochry kev
and as folk have said si seams a really sound bloke and always got time for a blether.
hopefully he has a bit more luck with his s2 this year

 

oh right..just wondered davie..never heard of him

 

dont think hes long been set up on his own tbh kev.
but everyone starts somewhere and he seems to know his shit so hopefully works well for him as we need more decent tuners up here imo

 

ive had simon up at my house aswell & he is a cracker of a lad & i will be using his skills to help with my track day escort once ive got all thats needed, its about time we had a few good tuners up here aswell

 

piss off lol ,


tbh mate i dnt know what to do im constantly changing me mind lol,

i love the idea of rwd , but its just the whloe chopping the shell part , dont get me wrong , know enough pepople to do it .


arrrggggghhhhh lawnsy dont put that idea bk in me head lol , !!!!!!!



its rwd or 2.1 zetec, gt30 . ect ect

 

Very clever and trustworthy fella.



I'd gladly let him look after my RST.....i was wasnt stuck down South!

 

ill add that si is a top fella, when we featured his escort, the knowlege the bloke has is outstanding!

one thing i really like about him is that hes not afraid to give away too much info

very sound and down to earth fella, with a top motor!!

 

 

lawnsy im going to fucking twat you ,

just spent the last 2 hrs chatting bout rwd conversions with karl ,

arrrggggghhhh

 

lol.....see ya talking sence again now rwd=fun plus on the 1/4 mile it will dig in and go were a fwd will just spin all its power way............

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENCE....

 

yeah but how much am i looking at for a reliable 350 brake cossie motor ?

if theres such a thing as a reliable cossy motor ??

 

yip but how much would you pay to get that power reliable out of any other engine...350 out of a yb is nowt........t34 grays 3 bar chip.....

 

plus whey does it have to be a yb lump for rwd what about a rwd zvh..... then you would be different.......think about the 3 door fast ford is building zvh,,,,sure its going to be rwd

 

I can feel another lawnsy your a twat coming on........

 

an engine like si's would be good in rwd

 

lawnsy beefy is like the fucking weather .he will say one thing then do the other .should just let karl loose on it and see if it goes rwd or fwd

 

karls currently tied up in the gas cupboard ,

and ive confiscated his grinder , hacksaw blades , shit ive even hidden the kitchen knives !!!!


LAWNSY YOUR A TWAT !!!

to be honest though , if i do decide on rwd , i wouldnt go for a zetec,not thats theres anything wrong ,

just like the idea of a cossy lump .,


3 bar t34 n greays u say ummmm .

but whats the prices involved in refreshing a motor to handle that , ?

like i said reliability is the key factor here due to my errm past issues involving breaking engines


come on lawnsy u should be able to answer this one ??

 

its a full zetec turbo actually lol, and ive seen a fwd sierra, so yes, its going to be rwd using cossy t5 and diff/beam etc

.................when its fucking finished

 

Si is a decent bloke,

I spent ages chatting with him at national day and he seemed 100% genuine

 

beefy 350 in a cossie lump is nowt........even for a std engine just get a fresh one or freshen it up with a group a head gasket......

oh and ive got a t34 im taking off me car this weekend.......

 

lawnsy why do you keep doing this to me ???



please just stop ,


be right back , i think karls escaping !!!!!!!!

 

exactly how it should be, great customer service, there dont seem to be many now helpfull/willing to give you time even when you want to spend serious money!! found mine now anyway and sounds a top bloke cant wait to meet him. its good to see
