my cousin is a regular customer of theirs and we have nothing to report bad about them whatsoever....work is always done on time, workmanship is top quality and Steve always helps out whenever he can...

he even sends customers to my cousins direction for engine work (Cossie power)

Bob (Cossie power) has fitted a 2.1zvh into a S2 which was built by Steve at Vulcan and the engine is sweet as!

we have all our engineering/machining work done by Steve from boring out bottom ends, to fully specc'd stage 3 heads etc...everything has been spot on and that includes a 250hp 1600cvh (Steve done the machining work, Cossie Power done the conversion himself...hes an engine builder to when he wants to be )

oh james, im gonna resend the plug tomo
