MADRods engine dies on Dyno again.
My son came in last night & said Dad the local car nuts are saying that your engine has blown up on the Dyno & why not come clean. I almost wish that were true cos it would mean that my engine had actually been built. Ive mentioned this before & no one had heard on here so it probably a local rumour.
The truth is this
Mark is using this engine to try out new things & parts & is sinking money into it. Since Mark has moved to his new premises he has taken in a lot more work & is trying desperately to catch up, he is building several Cossie & EVO engines at the mo & mine has quite rightly been placed at the end of the queue as its some of Marks money involved. The Pistons/Crank are installed but will be partly dismantled because Mark has found a stronger part from that which he normally uses, its called development & other customers will benefit, think hes already got a customer that wants an engine beyond Rods
.
Im in no hurry for this engine as im waiting to see what happens elsewhere before deciding on the final Spec.

Ps. Have a merry Crimbo you lot & a Happy new year.

Rod,
Hope you achieve your aim in 2007. I'm genuinely excited about seeing a Ford at the top of the supercar food chain .
Would love to see what the likes of Evo / Autocar would make of a Taxi that could get to 200mph quicker than a Veyron.
