Specialised Engines
 

anyone ever used these guys?

http://www.specialisedengines.co.uk/index.html

some guy on here was saying they were good for head work, not sure who it was tho

I have heard both good and bad.

Me too.

every business will have some bad. it depends on the ratio of how many bad to good.

There shit, might aswell build the engine yourself. They built my 1.6 crossflow ,it was fucked after 1200 miles and they put it down to me not running it in properly :mad: Also they said the engine would cost £750, it ended up costing me £1450




NOBS

They're shit! Simple as. There warranty is not worth the paper is written on. Bought a re-con engine for the frst and it was shit.
Not gonna waste time putting down the numerous problem's we had with it.

All in all fucking cowboy's :mad:

Only ever heard bad things also, will stick to my man Mr Fisher :DD:

se
 

they are SHIT, built my low comp 1600 for my series 2 it cost me a fortune and lasted me all of 2000miles. They say they are built by professionals but they jus enploy a load of 16 year olds. Keep well away

:blowingup:

well thats 100% bad so far. id stay clear then.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Guess what im going to say

no idea. tell us.

Heard too many bad things for me to go there....

Had work done by them a few years back, was never right and they weren't interested in sorting it, in the end they finally sorted it after I threatend legal action.... Wouldn't go there again.

From their site -

"COWBOY FIRMS

Sadly they are not very obvious, as they don’t all wear Stetsons and Six-guns or call you ‘Pardner’!

Herewith are some tips on how to avoid them :

1. Join a car owners club , most of them will be able to give opinions on good and bad companies (see our listings)"


:cry: :cry:

I had one of their engines - fucking shit, might aswell have been a paperweight

For years now all I've heard about them is SHIT!

id say thats pretty conclusive. id take my money else where.

Euro engines is just round the corner from them, half the price and they look after there customers

Fucked me about with my head :wall:

WANKS

all in all, sounds a excellent company :cry:

Depends what you want them to build really.

if its a race/track engine then NO
if its a every day runner with no tune then fine

My head I had was a stage 1 which is just ported and rebuilt and it was w@nk!

never trust a firm with a website as shit as that.

Looks like it was made in the late 90s... then at the bottom:

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Again bollocks

My car is an everyday runner and the 1st head was cracked between the bores, 2nd head was for an N/A CVH and the 3rd head i had to get machined as it wasnt perfect.

Avoid the anal lovers :top:

bollox.... :(
bought my new engine from a lad who said itd been built at specialised... :cry:
bit late to do owt about it now tho!!!! :roll:

ah well, fingers crossed...!!! :?

Do we we all agree that the company in question is shit :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

been going for donkeys years, cant be that bad can they..?? :?

I think we can all agree they specialise in something... :cry:

Did anyone read in Fast ford that Mr Fudge had his head done there then in a later issue he sent it off to someone else to do the work on it

When S/E did it Dan put a pic of it in the mag and it looked like it had just been cleaned up.

I must admit I did install a 1.9 RST SE engine (secondhand) in a FRST some years back and its still going strong - oh its running a T34 @ 20+ psi

one off good engine maybe lol

about 7-8 years ago i dealt with both for machine work. and would never deal with them either again.

Even tho they seem'd nice on the phone,
They both lie about stuff they are selling, charge for stuff thats not been done.

i rememebr a guy who bought an engine form them
firs the cam went in the block
then the dizzy pin worked itself loose
third time round it's been sorted but nearly everything they touch seems to be have soemthing go wrong with it at some point

I use CTM in Dagenham
