In Catford, SE London.

Does anyone know what car he's running now?? Apparentley he is still running a business but its now called Turbo Techniques at the same premises.

One of my mates has been approached to do a 1/4 mile race against Oz who is meant to be running some high powered cossie. My mate has a Ford Zepheur running a Chevy V8 lump hot rod stylee.

I know Oz was in PF or FF a while ago quoteing some ridiculous figures for an Rs Turbo ha had at the time and got some serios egg on his face

 

dunno, but there is still a tubbie specalist (or so-called) at the same place matey!

 

didnt he have a RST with like 300bhp that did 11's on the 0-60 sprint due to a flapping dump valve

Think he had an Rs500 aswell with big power but like more power than the injectors could make or summit kinda remeber Mike R posting summit about it years ago

 

What mag was it he was in doing that 0-60 day?

 

I went past there not so long ago and it had a different banner over the Turbo Touch name, couldnt see what it was though............

 

Saw the Red S2 Turbo Touch car up by me a while ago outside a company called Atford Engineering.

Didn't seem to want to chat to me much though as I stopped to chat in my works van. Maybe he'd have been different towards me if I'd actually been in my RS

 

P/Ford mag a few years back but his Rs500 wa in fast ford only other car i member from the pf mag was Dingy with broken bonnet oh and his mate jay who had the Escort Cos

 

oh theres a blast from the past, he's still around think he's brother running things there now, last I heard he was had and cossy up focus

 

Wasn't that red S2 pretty quick though

 

not according the the times

 

PMSL damn pesky flapping leaky dump valves

 

I remember he had a shoutout with the Datapost car, sorry can't remember the guys name Oz was one of the best for quoting BHP figures without the aid of a dyno or rolling road (must have used the force) hence why he made a name from himself

 

Ah he was using the fabbled arse dyno then

 

who won in the shot out.

didnt he have a feature with martin handland and people in the fastcar magazine years ago. when they did that 0-100-0 test. These are the days martin had the mondeo.

i think his times were not bad but as i had a read of it. It did say that he had alot of traction problems.

 

Nothing on Oz's cossie then??

 

OZ is a cowboy rip off who is full of shit! He tried charging me Ł550 exchange for a ported head and later found out that he was getting racepower to do them for Ł250 and whacking Ł300 on top Every time i drive past turbo turd its empty! Looks like hes just doin tyres now

 

March 2001, shootout, quote from PF "OZ was unable to post a time, as the diaphram had spilt on his dump valve"

Probably the lamest excuse i have EVER heard not doin a run

And at this point in time they had bailey piston dump valves out too

 

My mate put hes s2 in turbo touch for new front discs and pads,when he picked it up later that day ozzie gave him a bill for Ł280!!!!! He'd put new polybushes on the front a new oil feed pipe!!!! He only wanted the brakes done!! After a rour he told him he'd pay for the brakes now and pay for the rest tomorrow DID HE FUCK he went back to germany with the army 2 days later!

 

Yeah i heard he over charges slightly

 

ive not heard anything from him in years which aint surprising since he aint got too good a rep

 

Yeah OZ is ok, but a bit of a rip off!! he done some work on my fiesta and twisted my arm off. Dont think RS's are his mainstay any longer, not spoke to him for a while, but business was tailing off a bit. Not called TT anymore, think he deals with wheel and tyre packages!! how the mighty have fallen eh!

 

yeah but wouldnt say he was ever mighty

 

wasnt his o to 100 20 seconds too

the excuse for his times ( which is actually in pf mag history bit where rolls is reminded every month to turn up the boost ) was he incoreectly geared it, too high a gear hence the 20 second time to 100 ( mihg not be 10 seconds but in sure its not far off )

there was no top speed time as pf only booked the track for 1 day and would take 3 daysd to make top speed so was aported after his 3rd lap doing 120 in 4 mins

ok the last bit was bollocks but his car did have the wrong choice in gearing on that run








word of mouth is the best form of advertising mate

2500 grand plus vat for the cossie managment conversion too

think jano put him out of business

 

Sounds like a great guy has anyone got a number so I can book myself in

 

im sure non of the rumors are true mate, hes prob very good at his building quick cars and cant drive

 

 

Last time i was in turbo touch he was building a cossie focus,then i bumped into him in eltham and he told me the project had been aborted due to marriage troubles!?

 

the cossie he had was running 400+ bhp on yellow injectors LOL&LOL AGAIN.
cheeRS gary
AKA shrek

 

Friend of a friend had a 2wd Saff Cossie that was built and maintained by TurboTouch. This thing was ment to be 400 bhp, i went in it once and yep it did shift when working right.

That was the problem with it 95% of the time it wasnt running right @ USC one year it wasnt running right and only did a 17.8 s 1/4 and everyone took the pissout of him so he didnt use Oz or Turbo Touch anymore

 

Dave this was the guy i bought my Q plate escort cos off, that had 2wd engine in.
