Yes mate, definately

Some VERY capable all round MAD cars.

Even Rod's which people view as top speed only would happily out corner most cars on his forum in fact.


I keep telling Rod to get Kev to take it on track at donno or something, as I really think people would be amazed.

That is one thing that always gets me how Rods car always gets classed as straight line only but it has as much handling mods as most of the saph's on here that do get track use. Decent beam,diff,suspension,tires...

Daves engine was built in March 2004 only the crank/rods survive into Marks 2008 builds so Harvey would still be 4 years behind. .

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH HARVEY GIBBS. I'VE HAD ABOUT 4 CARS DONE NOW AND NOT ONE BIT OF BOTHER. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE LISTENED TO OTHERS WHO'S ALWAYS RATED THEIR FAVOURITE CAR SPECIALIST, WITHOUT CHECKING OTHER PLACES OUT!!!,
HOW TO MODERN TUNE????????YOU MUSTN'T OF CHECKED HIS ESCORT OUT AND ANDREW'S FOCUS? IF THEIR NOT TUNED RIGHT THERE IS SOME THING WRONG???
