See if you can find the details on the 200bhp per litre n/a cosworth lump as i would love to read about it.

That 400bhp one wasnt 2.0 as far as im aware, so still not 200bhp per litre, and I bet its utterly useless to drive with in a road car, 100bhp per litre N/A is about all you want unless you ahve some form of variable cam timing.

I totally agree, but this guy was doubting its existence, i'll post up the info later when i get to my archived emails

IMO 215bhp from a na cosworth isnt that special, i'm not saying it isnt nice, its gorgeous,but a run of the mill build , 250+ is easily obtainable on a fast road car, 280-310+ on a race engine

I haven't got time to read the full post but i don't really believe Rad needs to make an apology at all.

Surely TOTD shouldn't be discussing things like this with other customers anyway? If it's between them and Rad then that should be it, especially if action has been taken by either party. Not very proffessional of them imo.

I personally have no side to take, however I must question your statements... If you are only a paying customer of TOTD the how can you state that "ALL the TOTD customers are very happy except 1".
The very fact that you emphasise the words ALL by defining these in capital letters suggests that you are in fact certain of this information. Now obviously paying customers do not know every single paying customer or come into contact with all of them unless you spend every second of the day at the premises or have access to other customers personally identifying information.

A customer should not be privy to billing knowledge, complaint documentation or any other information that the company holds as this obviously has implications on civil privacy and the data protection action and the responsibility a UK company has for holding such information.

As stated by yourself... facts are fact.. which are usually supported by evidence and as such you have produced nothing to suggest you know ALL the customers at the very least, so why should anything else you state be more factual.. in my opinion it means simply speaking you are chatting shit and making wild claims

As a paying customer, you should be thankful that you obtained a high level of service, however I fail to see why anyone has exceptional loyalty for a company, its business... you pay them for what they do !! -- I do stuff for my friends for nothing, business does not work this way

Yes chip you're dead right



It was destroked to 1914cc






so 1914cc and 412bhp @ 11500rpm makes it 215.78 bhp per litre

Here you go






Before you say, i never said it was a road car, I just pointed out that I had seen a 400bhp n/a cosworth YB...nothing more, nothing less.

I still dont think 215bhp from one is amazing, its just a nice engine

if no complaint has been made on here by Charlie Chalk about TOTD then how did it all come out??

In my experience there is usually two sides to every story and you'd be amazed how much the two can differ

Like Rad has previously said though, he never names and shames someone, he tries to keep it private.
But to be quite honest, i think it must've got to the point of wanting to name and shame because of the way they are doing business! Threatning with legal action because THEY cant do their job properly.

Oh, and Gaz, i am very very happy for you if you had a fantastic job done etc etc....some people have different experiences like everybody does, get over it. You are really being pathetic, and because you cant answer back to anything people are saying to you (because they have a point), you just carry on playing the same record 'find that thread from November 07'

Does it matter if people read the thread or not? NO, because things happen once you leave, doesnt all have to happen while your there YOU utter prick.

And no, Rad wouldnt of pm'd anyone, he's not like that, it's just people know that he's not a cunt (well in this way anyway ) but to be totally honest, you really havent helped yourself, you have come across like a complete wanker, childish one at that, and all Rad has done is apolgise even though he didnt need to in the first place.

Get your facts straight, mind your own, and grow up.

Chris stated that a " non-paying customer " had work done and never returned, But what wasn't said was about the PM when I asked Chris to check my car etc

I then said that it was me Chris was talking about, Read the "Torque no good." thread in Dummy room mate, Might be a bit more clearer for yourself
