The trouble is you need to keep it sensible and as Mike is a mod his ass was getting handed to him, So it was only expected to last a short time before another mod locked it for him.

prob not the best idea to start another!!

i do think the other should have been closed it was gettin a lil bit ott and just to say if TSM reads this i would like to say i agree mike should step down as a moderator due to his lack of rule obeying . . . so i can have a shot at it jokes !!

personally I think mikes insults of late are out of order, other users have been banned for less

I think you should all kiss, make up and get back to normal.

i dissagree i think he was doing well

mark this next bit is not aimed at you . .


i would also like to say as i think mike said in the last thread our dyno was tuv approved for fords to do their puma engine work on it
the dyno before the last time or re checking was within 0.3 bhp
and is still within 1 bhp of mountunes

perhaps mike is at that age and is going through a midlife crisis
I am to old for one of those now

haha
when i am on this forum i try to stay as neutral (spelling) as possible so i can see other peoples point of view but when i see a good friend getting slated i am obviously gonna try and help out lol but like i say he was doing alryt on his own !!

Mark Shead

The calibration and acuacy of the dyno is not in question, It is the said TUV aproval that was harped on about for as long as I can remeber, That was used in part to discredit the dyno I use saying the figs could not be trusted as it does not have TUV approval, As it happens yours does not have it either,
It doesnt matter that it did once and you could not carry out any work for Ford until it gets reaproved,
This is the bone of contetion nothing more.

No he wasn't
he lowered himself to denial and personal abuse and insults to pf users and their family
which I shall report to the powers above him and not for the first time either

Jimbob has a hard job understanding this simple point Mark

Mike

aye of course im just saying the figures produced on our dyno are very accurate and probably up to tuv approval standards also the temp probes are positioned so it does not get high correction figures so everything is spot on

im not questioning the point in hand im just saying you (not you anyone) cant call our figures un accurate

Martin-Hadland

Ok after all that has been said, how long would a TUV approval last for? And who does it? ... Just interested not wanting to slag the Mad crew or bully Mike.

ROTFL!

mike has constantly put down other tuners achievements past and present

okii point taken i will leave that to you

mike as i just said i am making another point not refeering to what subject you are talking about

The other thread was locked by me,, just to cancel out the mods conspiracy theory.

I felt that Mike probably needed a bit of time to calm down as he had got so offended and started throwing insults at his friends etc, I just didnt feel there was any value in the thread continuing, it had done what I meant for it to do in terms of people knowing the truth about the dynos in question, and I saw no point in it just continuing as a row until it got moved to the spit your dummy room where it wouldnt have been visible to people searching on the site for MAD or Norris or TUV etc in future if they too had heard the rumours.

fuzzy

it certianly is. and everybody knows it.

Dyno figures are bullshit anyway
What it really puts on the road is more important.

Turbosystems

nobody calls harveys figures inaccurate it is Mike that accuses everyone else's of being wrong

PAUL V

Not wishing to poor more fuel on the fire but when did mike say the tuv thing ?? can somone put the link to the post

PAUL V

Again When has he said this tony ?

Mark Shead

I dont know but would expect yearly as with most aproveals, Simon spoke to Superflow about it after I ask him about it,
There reply was a waste of time unless you need it for a company that insists on it.

Mark

MikeR

Jim you have just left school so you should be fair fresh with simple things, l will spell this out really easy for you

NO BODY IS QUESTIONING YOUR DADDYS FIGURES

what they are doing is giving Mike shit for saying TUV approved when it appears it is not!!!!

You need to stop getting so defensive, l bet your old man does not give a rats arse what people say on PF about TUV

If you dont understand any of the above feel free to ask for a repeat

Mike

Turbosystems

iTrader: (5)

probably on every topic where someone posts their cosworth dyno figures that are more than mikes engine and not on harvey's dyno ,

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

yeah point taken
i just wanted everyone to know what sort of differences to tuv standards our dyno is at. So everyone saying its not tuv aproved,
the dyno is still accrate.

just something i wanted to add even though its off topic

Fagin

I thought calibration needed to be done once every year?!

MikeR

You wanted to add it because you are defending your daddy wish is understandable,

WooHoo Mr Norris is in the house,

Simon your figures are crap cause you aint TUV approved, the bogey dont make the power you claim

Mike

PAUL V

I think this is a witch hunt as i know mike does not say what BHP his engine has so how can he compair.

I dont think he does "diss" any tunners TBH

Simon Norris

160.09Mph in 1/4 mile, is that a good road figure for a non TUV approved dyno showing 928Hp? Heheheh

Cheers

Just wondering if their approval is for how the dyno is set up and how accurate it becomes because of that method rather than them calling out to check? If they actually come out and check it yearly that would be fine for a dyno used for a reasonable amount of work but imagine one that's used everyday, a lot can happen in a year.

Turbosystems

iTrader: (5)

exactly, so why is norris dyno inaccurate then according to mike ,is it because marks and rods figures are far more than mike has ever seen on your dads dyno

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

dont treat me like a fucking twat i completely understand that like i have said in 2 posts i wanted to say that so people who dont understand much about dyno/tuv blah blah blah can understand just because it is not tuv approved dyno's can still be tuv accurate

ffs i was making a point is that a crime !!!!!!!!

MikeR

How busy would a company have to be to have a designated individual working an Engine dyno every day? pretty dam busy l would think

Mike

Fagin

Approvals for chassis dyno's are done on site afaik...... fook knows how though!
