Brasso

Dont spose youve got a contact number for em Less??

Jon ERST S2

What about just taking it to a good local Auto Electrician? Then Karl would be a good shout. Thats the only place my car is going now. (Other than stu but he's 400miles from me)

Brasso

Prob gonna give that a go first Jon, but thursday proper skinted me.

Was gonna contact Karl for a rebuild on the festa, so maybe he's the man to check things over for me.

Gonna have a nosey under the bonnet this mornin, but when ya dont know where to start lookin its a bit of a bastard!

Take it to Ahmed and get a PROPER picture of where you stand then decide which avenue your going to take.

Brasso

Will bear him in mind, cheers dude.

Feelin at the mo that its gotta go in bits tho. Wouldnt like to sell a problem onto someone else and have the shit that I've gone through with it!

Joe is the guy at Bluesprint. He's just down the road from me. Never had work done by him, but many friends have and he's a sound guy, not silly pants down prices, and none of them have had grief. Ill try and get his number for you....

You could try Field Motorsport ?? Had loads of work done by them and personally wouldn't take any of my cars anywhere else. They are based 5 minutes from Bluesprint.

pau1rs

it`s joe on 01621744881

best of luck mate

Brasso

Nice one fella!

Brasso

Paul1rs, Phoned that number today and spoke to Joe. Guess what.... he's never heard of Mark Wright or BSW motorsport and definatly hasnt sold any WRC focus rods lately, and the ones he's got are very expensive and dont even fit the zetec!

What are the odds that knobrot happened to have a set of WRC rods jus lyin round his unit!? My moneys on standard rods that he would have got with the second hand block that he had to get after his other build failed.

WANKER.

Damo V

Drop the sump off mate have a look, could be your decision maker

met

oh dear, BSW im 99% certain did all the engine work on zeds old saph which i bought then sold on to gaables & that expired on the motorway what a proper theiving scumbag im sure that bsw's handy work had something to do with it, when i bought the car it had receipts for at least 2 rebuilds at bsw & when i called him he told me that it was the customers fault for driving too fast its a fucking stage 3 cosworth its supposed to be driven fast you mug!!!!

Brasso

Yep thats the sort of shit the twat comes out with!

Oh Paul J, you ran too much boost through yours!

Then there was a lad with a zetec s who had a turbo conversion, but that blew up because he was drivin it too hard aswell!

You dont have this sort of work done to go out for a fuckin sunday drive do ya!

Cant find the words to explain how much I'm pissed of with the prick.

Damo V

Im sure Ive seeen that car around the bexleyheath area..

Wazzzer

And fuck me was there some damage when he pulled the engine apart, snapped the con rod clean in two, most of it was in the sump, scored the bore, fucked the crank, cracked the block and sump, bent 2 zorst valves, and generally just left an oily mess on the motorway... not even sure the pistons were low comp like they were meant to be either

How can he say it was being driven too fast, the fookin actuator pipe was split, by the time he realised something was wrong the damage was done....

Oh and Less where in Southampton are you thinking of getting your car tuned....

Mark T

I simply cannot believe what I am reading
It was clint that intially put me onto Mark to sort out my Esc. cos rebuild and at the time he seemed okay.
Suspicions only cropped up when the rebuild took three weeks longer than it should and when going to pick it up it had an ECU fault, which granted Mark got sorted.
Admittedly I never felt entirely confident about methods of his but the car worked and done what I wanted to do.
I just feel sorry for all those out there who appear to have been done like a kipper, if it's true what you say it's out of order.
Surely someone knows where in Ireland he's gone ??.

Cheer's

Mark T

DaveEscos

so you spend over 600 on burtons Steel rods and Mark took them and said he replaced them with WRC forged focus rods?

fucking hell! i bet they are std rods in there, and he has done the off with your shiny new H sections!!!!!

i stand to be corrected, but if the above is true, id go round to him and smack him in the fucking mouth!

CraigN

jim did you pay for forged rods then ?

if you were closer i would say bring it round and i woudl have a look at it im only a diy bodger but could at least look, had my fair share of brakedowns in my fiesta and now rebuilding my cossie.

feel really gutted for you.

does it have a cps ? try that ? are you getting a spark ?

places to check

Ima-Racing500

In defence of Mark @ BSW who i did use to supply...i always got top service.

BUT i was always there watching I had front shocks fitted by them and my cam timing done and CO adjustment.....nothing major but certainly no shoddy work at all...i think the problem was he let the underlings do most of the work and i must admit they didnt inspire confidence...i had Mark do my work and no faults.

Sorry to here your woes Brasso...infact i saw your car there parked up.

Paul J

LMFAO i asked the twat to lower the boost after he assured me the standard zetec plugs would take 20+ psi and then repeatedly failed, in the end taking out a valve

Brasso

Dave, Craig.

First time it blew up on the rollers, it bent one of the rods in two. I did get to see that one. Second time it happened the day before I was due to go a fetch it back and cockend had been settin the boost up with the car on axle stands when it shit itself takin out one of my RS200 pistons the block and a rod etc.., wether he replaced the H section the first time I dont know.

So yes originally back in June 2003ish I payed Ł600+ for pucka rods.

Mark rebuilt this engine at his cost so you can gaurantee its gonna have standard stuff that he would have got out of a 2.0l from a scrappers pressumably. When I questioned him about the rod he had to replace He said he got some WRC focus rods from Bluesprint who have never heard of him.

He also recons he had one spare rs200 piston, last in the country apparently! So its meant to have my original pistons.

Believe me if he wasnt fuckin off I would deffo be makin the journey down there to go sort the c.unt.

Paul, 32 psi he reconned you put through it dude!

The bloke is a total and utter wanker, hope he pisses the wrong person off wherever he ends up.

Paul J

Just out of interest what did he say was the consiquence of 32psi?

I had a stage 1 T3 at the time, can they even make that

Brasso

He didnt say mate, I was jus quizin him on where he thought he was going wrong with my car, It was along the lines of, "Sketch's is fine Jons is fine Paul J put 32 pound of boost through his thats why that went bang!"

Paul J

My car never went bang, well he had it long enough to kill then rebuild, but not to my knowledge

At the time i was on the channel tunnel rail link , wish i'd gone over with the lads now

Jon ERST S2

What happened with your car in the end paul?

Any luck sorting any of the problems Jim? I hope you have got inside what he said.

Only thing different with mine, is that I got mine mapped/setup elsewhere (Engine Advantages), same for sketch I believe. ( I think Clint did sketches)

Paul J

Oh yeah Jim, have you plugged a laptop in and checked the filename of your map?

Jon, Been slowly sorting it, not been top priority though, went to Oz etc.
I have the head,cams, turbo, manifolds from Sunny's old engine & Bernie's MTX ATB box, also other things like cobra evo's and proper harness's fitted. Hopefully be finished next year

Glad yours is sorted now, are you going to attend any events in it?

Jon ERST S2

should do! It might be sold. I'm still waiting to hear if the guy has sorted the money or not. Like you i been busy with other things and I've been very skint for a few months.

Sounds like yours should be good with that lot fitted! still got the NOS?

Paul J

Nos has never been used on turbo engine but yes i have all the kit still

Jon ERST S2

going to wire it up???

Paul J

It will be used if i do any timed events but my main objective is to get the car on track at Coombe, ive missed the whole of this year

Id love to be on track with that yellow seat 'badger5', similar power and FWD but i fear he can properly drive

Brasso

Havnt been arsed to go out and look at the fucker yet.

I need a lead for my laptop aswell so cant check the ecu out. Hopin to get one for the weekend, it might enlighten me on the prob.

AGAR-COSWORTH

Sorry to hear about it mate, sounds like the guys a real cowboy. Hope they catch the fooker.

When i go and get rebuilds done etc, although its going to cost a shit load more im taking my cars to GGR and the like.

Mark T wrote this and i now own the esc cos he is talking about, i personally think its a fucking crap re build it knocks from cold and taps when driving i hate it soooo much i was thinking about ringing them up before i saw all this no chance now then not that they would do anything. Feel sorry for ya mate

Brasso

Feel for you too mate.

Another bodged build by BSW motorsport

The bloke needs fuckin.
