Default Oz from Turbotouch in the latest Fast Ford....

Ain't seen that dude in over a decade! Didn't know he was still into the ford scene? Nice series one though.

Cheers
Paul

Did he used to have a white S2 with octagonal graphics over it? Going back to the early nineties now!

He's a fucking cowboy that bloke. He used to get Race Power in northfleet to do all he's engine work, pass it off as he's own & charge twice as much!!!

I've got first hand experience of what a robbing cunt he is.

Have heard bad stuff about him in the past but I used TurboTouch a few times back in the day and they were ok.
Looking back at his old red rst I know it never produced any decent times or power etc but in theory it should have even though it was doubted at the time? Was cossie managed, 1600 all steel cvh, big front mount cooler, t34 etc. Wonder why it never delivered?
Can't believe after all this time he's still around and into his rst's!

Cheers
Paul

Sent my S2 to him for a new fuel pump & got a bill for Ł1250!!!

Apparently it was the worn bushes on the front, the oil return pipe & front pads that caused the pump to stop working.... Oh & my chipped ecu that he kindly replaced with a standard one!!

Car went there perfect bar the pump & came back popping & banging!!! Was only a kid at the time & swallowed it, but looking back I should have had him take it all off & contacted trading standards.

I've heard alot of horror stories about him too, 'fitting parts' that werent fitted and passing off engine work as his own as stated above.

Shocking place, no wonder it's not there anymore.

Funny thing is he was so full of hot air he honestly thought he was a "reputable tuner"!
