Any news on Rods engine?
has it been back to the dyno again yet?
thought they were aiming for about 10 days since last one
would love to know what they've got out of it this time.

Mark,
Out of interest, does Simon Norris get at all involved when you are at his dyno?
I was wondering whether he showed any interest in the cosworth engine and maybe whether you guys share ideas? Bringing together of two good engine builders would be quite interesting.
Cheers and good luck on Monday

He built a very good power one for an old user on here.
and IMO was probably one of the quickest cosworths that was never proven... mainly because it kept spitting gearboxes and diffs out lol
I dont pretend to know Norris, but friends of mine do, and he IS interested in other engines apart from evos... for example he has helped out a mate of mine with his RS turbo plenty over the last year, and continues to do so! (1600 still!)

Happily retired
The owner of that car will probably be their on Monday, making the tea hes a mate of Simons. I loved the front bumper on that car, but he sold it before I could get my mits on it. Nice car but sold before all the niggles could be sorted.

It is a nice thing, l have spoke to Simon a fair few times and he is very friendly and down to earth and happy to talk and so is Mark so l can not see why they would not talk, also Simon built Moses engine and Mark mapped it on Autronic so they have worked together

I 'll pop in tomorow as my engines going on dyno after rods as for the car looks a bit different now more conservative, front bumper is a modified combat bumper, have meshed holes in now so you cant see hoses and moved number plate in front of intercooler probably going to paint intercooler black as well
