I had my car booked in at SCC today for a rolling road setup which i specifically asked for.
I phoned them last week to book and conversation went...

ME-i want a rolling road set up and check afr,set up new boost controller, co levels etc etc

SCC-no problem,we can do it friday morning

ME- ok,see you then

I worked last night from 11pm until 7am this morning and then drove the 85 miles to SCC.

I go to reception to tell them that im here for my rolling road set up,only to be told by some monkey that they dont have a rolling road WTF.
I am now starting to get angry so he gets the boss rob to come out. I explained that i specifically asked for a rolling road set up and he repeats that they dont have one...i am starting to think this is a wind up,but the gormless cunt is stood there holding a fucking lambda sensor and a laptop for a road set up,which if people read my other post will see i did not want this I then have to bite me lip and count to ten as he was very fucking close to getting a fucking hiding,85 fucking miles for a rolling road set up,and they dont fucking have one,just try to get you to travel there and fob you off with a road set up...AVOID THESE FUCKING IDIOTS

bad luck mate

 

sounds like a break down in communication somewhere?

 

Ditto, Robs not a bad fella

 

As i said to you mate, i took the booking and you asked for a set up to set the boost controller and check the fuelling - at no point did you ask for it to be set up on the rollers...

Why would i have taken the booking for setting up on the dyno when we dont currently have one !!

Anyhow Sorry for the missunderstanding.

Rob

 

avoided a pasting there rob

i very much doubt at any point rob indicated that they had a rolling road when he was on the phone to you

p.s. Rob why havent you bought one yet ya tight ol' fart

 

Yeah With an attitude like that i'm glad he's not one of my customers


Too many problems with noise and the neighbours

But...

I have just got the go ahead from VOSA to become an MOT testing station

 

bout time, mines due next month

be nice

will be up to see your new premises shortly, the saff just hasnt needed to be near a garage for a while now <touches entire forest>

 

should of read phils post rolling roads are shit

then no probs rob with a afr gauge and laptop would of done nicely


sorry rob couldnt resist

 

I specifically asked for a rolling road setup,so dont lie....fucking attitude you cunt,i was up 24 hours,drove 85 fucking miles,brought a mate who wanted to see a car on the rollers,as he was going to have his sorted soon as well,so wasted his time as well...and you havent fucking got rollers
It is now booked in with a proper tuner next week.

Weird, as i've only heard good things about SCC.

 

booked in with a proper tuner? so you are getting it done on the road under real driving conditions after all then?

 

why out of interest are u so keen on just having her set up on the rollers?when set up/map on the road is 100%more effective? do they live map at scc now or just set up??

 

because he wanted some figures to show his mates in the pub

or he wanted his car to consume shit loads of hot air

you dont drive the car every day on the dyno, but you do on the road, would have been much better set up that way?

 

I certainly wouldnt trust a dyno tune over a road tune.

JJ

 

lets all make a guess at what happens at the "proper tuner"

my bet is he will run the car, then wind the fuel pressure up, and charge you Ł100

 

It is not in question why i wanted it rolling road tuned,but that is what i wanted,that is what i asked for and that is what i expect when i ask for a rolling road set up of new electronic boost controller,so i spent half a day having my time wasted...There is another thread if you want to argue about rolling or road setup,but i want to physically see the gains to certain adjustments,not guess on the road,i then obviously wanted it road checked....If i wanted a set up without the rolling road,i have a very good tuners who would do it,who are 5 miles from me and would not have wasted half a day travelling

mark

 

half a day to do 85 miles, fook me you neeeeed a set up

oh and you could have seen what difference parts/settings made if rob has a G meter

 

You seem to know a lot about my business,but you talk shite and are making yourself look a cunt It is going to chris todd and he is charging me considerably more than that price thankyou,and supplying me with the services i asked for.

mark

 

i know what 90% of the uk's rolling road companys do,

ps, im not the one who looks a cunt its not hard to find out who has a dyno and who doesnt, if i wanted to find out i would look on the internet

 

no, they deffo havent got a rolling road, i just looked on there web site

 

Thankyou,you have finally talked some sense...How can SCC set it up when the roads are gridlocked and it took me half a day to do 85+85 miles back, you really are making yourself look a cunt

G meter.. you have been watching too much Fast and furious

mark

 

you know nothing about g meters then obviously, most road tuners use them including MSD

im sure rob has his "special places" he can use to road tune, most tuners do

 

Exactly,ask someone to rolling road set up and they agree,only to get there and they havent got arolling road...what a cunt he looked.

mark

 

If you asked on here LIKE YOU DID ABOUT A SET UP you would have been ok
instead you got set up

 

yes

 

Get this in your head...i asked for a rolling road setup and testing...that is what i wanted.

mark

 

 

I asked the man himself,why ask on a car forum??? i should of taken your advice on other thread of not going there though

mark

 

road tune over a rolling road any day

 

I know its easy to get confused,but you have responded to the wrong topic

https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=289618

mark

 

lol... you like calling people a cunt dont ya!! ..

I would quit now because your only making ya self look a cunt

 

so when will you start doing m.o.ts then you could be all in one savour

 

 

i dont know any of those involved but it surely sounds like an unfortunate misunderstanding to me. im sure your pissed off at driving all that way but id be surprised if it was done intentionally.

 

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've had both a live map, and a RR map and TBH not noticed a difference. (Both by top mappers, Stu and Kenny @MSD and by Steve Greenald of Race Engine calibration services)

Anyway, there is some fucking horrible attitude in this post, how old are you?

I'd 150% say Rob isn't the misleading type, very nice chap.

 

Regardless of anything else on this thread, id MUCH rather have a proper road setup than some shitting rolling road tune, so this "mistake" wouldve done you a favour.

 

Rob & the boys are as sound as a pound. Best tuners I've used by far - and I've used most of 'em over the years!

Good work on getting VOSA certified Rob

 

Now I wasn't going to say anything but feel I must....


I have know Rob for well over 10 years and would trust him 100% with my car, I even worked at SCC for quiet a few years (some of you may remember).

My question to B16 is why are you so adament to have a RR setup??? The reason I ask is how many top Cossie tuners actually have a rolling road..... People rave about MAD, MSD, NMS, A1 to name just a few NONE of these have RR's.

I know that when Rob does his big power Focus RS conversions and uses Autronic he does the base map/setup on rollers and then does the final session on the road where you get a much better setup.

I have owned 4 Cossies and all 4 have bene setup by Rob/SCC in the past on the road ("private test track" where 160mph is easily reachable ).

It does seem however that some miscommunication has gone on and you being probably very tired once you'd returned home after coming straight to St Albans after finishing a night shift started a post here on PF imo without thinking 100% through and you've sort of dug yourself a hole now and it's getting deeper with every post being made.

However I'm sure the boys at Torque of the Devil will see you proud and you'll be able to use the car to its full potential once shes had a setup by them.
