I'd 150% say Rob isn't the misleading type, very nice chap.
I have to say that I was so impressed with Steves time and care taken over setting up a engine for me last week.

Top bloke and although its done on the rollers its spot on....... well was till it broke a valve spring or something

I think the rolling road vs road tuning argument could go on forever but I can't see any gains from doing a NA engine on the road, the engine he done for me was mapped at full load @ 1300 rpm in 5th at one point so it was nice to see every last area being checked

He doesn't stop until it's done..

My rolling road print out is timed at 23:03

Apparently as soon as mine was finished next one was going straight on for a long mapping session too!

Mark....

Dont call me a liar You booked the car in twice, Not once did you mention getting the car dyno'd - i spoke to you both times - FACT
You may think you did but i can assure you - you didnt !!

Certainly dont call me a cunt You dont know me so give up on the attitude you TWAT !!

Its pricks like you make me glad i didnt persue the dyno and stuck to sensible old MOT's where you get a much classier customer

Kind Regards
Rob
I asked you for a rolling road set up...end of.
You are now getting brave calling me a prick,why didnt you do it earlier when i showed my anger,instead of being a keyboard warrior..
i was ready to show my displeasure earlier but you sensibly disapeered,and its probaly for the best.
i have learnt a lesson with this,and its now going to a cosworth specialist.
For your little rant above,i will visit you again one day and let you do it to my face you little prick.

....if this customer was told he would get a RR tune where is it his fault ...Is this a way of getting business by lying?

Rob...did he ask for a RR tune and did you say YES?

Simple as.

As said above,i showed my anger and he disapeered which was the best for him and me...i will see him again one day and see if he is as brave as he is on a keyboard.Thanks for your concern though.

Simple as.
My actual words were that 'i want a rolling road set up tocheck afr and set up a electroonic boost controller' he replied 'thats no problem' END OFF
I know a few people are up his arse but do you really think i would drive that far for a rolling road setup and then not complain when no rolling road?

You came on here and went the WRONG way about it, calling people cunts etc.

It makes you look more of a prick. There was obviously a misunderstanding, and great, you've been working all night, maybe you should book the evening off next time.

Doesn't really excuse you to come on here to start calling everyone a cunt.

who is this mark bloke as i seem to remember him posting about the plate,, but cant remember who you are

oh and i PERSONALLY think that it may have got confused with on the road set-up and rolling road set up

now i KNOW rob dont have a r/r but one of hes close mates can get a mobile one for him to use IF he needed to so i recon rob would have asked hes mate to sort it for him IF he was aware

rob wont LIE,,, you BOTH was mistaken to what you was expecting

threatening someone to kick there head in dont make you right OR solve the issue,,,, infact why would you wanna beat someone up for a mistake,, we all make them

hope you dont have road rage mate as round st albans way belive theres a few "geeks" who you may run into and mouth off to and get shot

theres always someone harder than you in life,,, so only fight IF YOU MUST

but then i guess its cause rob dont look a hard man,,, not sure you would have got away with it had steve still been working there though

I have a rolling road and we use it in conjunction with road tuning but the cost can be quite high due to the time used

call it a day folks, it was a misunderstanding, i know Rob@SCC through my old job, he's a sound chap, i can understand whats happened, Mark called SCC to book a tune, Rob booked him in, it seems Mark should have made more of a point of making sure SCC had a r/r, Rob maybe should have listened more to what Mark was saying but Rob must answer countless calls each day & if Mark metioned a r/r tune right at the begining of the call it could have easily been misunderdtood!!!

If i was Mark i would be pissed off, if i was Rob i would be pissed off about upsetting a customer.

Mark, i'm sure you will be happy with Chris @ Torque, he knows his stuff

as for all the people slating Mark beause he wants a r/r tune, why??? its his car & his money he is spending, i can fuly understand he dosn't want some tuner ragging his pride & joy around there local roads.


maybe people can stop stirring, Mark can chill out & get his car tuned

as for slating SCC, it was a misunderstanding, he never even saw any of there work, which looks good to me (Oranoco's car are a prime example)

Do you really think Rob would book a customer in for a rolling road tune when he doesn't have a rolling road?

Seems pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that it was some sort of misunderstanding/breakdown in communication.

It's unfortunate, but it happens. What more can Rob do?
