as said, no idea what an RS500 escos is, and a bit of on an odd clip aswell.

Looks good on the rollers Richy, no idea who composed the silly clip tho.

hope you achieve what you are after next time mate

Theres another thread about it, Yes it had a GT3071 fitted so looking at why power was down and tweaks needed to find it.

At the moment yes but this should change with a few tweaks,
This was on a stock head and 2wd inlet so some tweaks to the inlet should see some power backthis should be done in a couple of weeks max.

Nope Rich's turbo spec is his own, I have nothing to do with the turbo, but I did with the management,
It was upto Rich to post this and I did nothing to stop him, So next a small tweak and back to the dyno to sort the power.

Fair enough if it's down to Rich, I was under the impression that it was spec'd by yourself.. My mistake. Rod posting vids can't help though!

I posted his Graph as well, ive all day to sort these things out, Rich works for a living so nothing sinister there, Rich is a mate, I dont work for MAD never have.
The Video was done by a site called Motor Addicts who just happened to be at the RR nothing to do with Mark or Rich, it came from their site. No idea about the second video it came up on the Motor Addicts site the next video on in You Tube.

Personally - i think Rich's car looks awesome, the colour of the car and the wheels compliment each other perfectly.

all the right bits to discreetly stand out enough from the mainstream

Rod,

Nothing personal but thats not what you have said in the past as I and others have seen.

I am making an issue of this because you are in effect allowed a trade name yet I am not even though I no longer trade.
I have quoted your past "I am working for mad type posts" to admin and they just ignore it...LOL
Only as means to get my name changed if you are allowed yours.

Are you sure you are not passionfords "ferrari" and have bunged stu a wad of cash lol.

Depends on if it's 2wd or 4x4, 330 6 pots will be fine on either but the 355 idea would only work on a 2wd. Btw .... Were you answering the phone @ SCS today? I called and the call was greated by an unknown voice.

have to say when i saw the in car vid that i red about i thought it appeared no faster than mine on a t34 .55. thats because its the same power.

not to be sniffed at though im sure theres more in it. the evo boys are using the gt3071 and making more power.

what was the max torque figure and at what rpm?

I have never repeat never been an employee of MAD, or ever claimed I was, I do some work at MAD but i dont get payed. I build his looms & sometimes fit them. He does not pay me to do this, but I do have a 'tab' with Mark. My rebuilds over the past 18 months have been against the hours ive put in. The confusion came about when I was there on a mag article & they said I was an employee. It makes no economic sense whatsoever for Mark to employee me, he doesnt have the electrical work to keep me fully employed & I would require far more than he could afford to pay, to make it worth my while getting out of bed on a regular basis.
Im 63 & dont need to work.
The arrangement I have suits me fine.

I trust this clears it up once & for all.


ps. By the way I had to change from MADRod to Madrod or perhaps you wanted insanerod or even sillyrod both suitable I feel, please dont be so petty Simon please.

so mark gives you credit when you do work for him on the understanding that you will spend with him in future.
if you didnt spend with him then you either wouldnt do it or would want paying for it.
at least "getting paid" how you do wont have the tax man sniffing.

are you really insinuating that the mad in your username now doesnt refer to m a developments, and that its really a mark of your crazyness?

It's hard to tell because of the abstract format of the video, but the pulls looks really quick, even for Dyno Dynamics.

Rod,

I was right then LOL.

Irrespective if you get paid or not, you have done/still do promote/benefit Marks business whilst having the use of a trade name reference.



Admin know all this yet allow it..... !
I personally dont care what anyone calls themself but when the same rules are applied to me are not applied to others then thats unfair.


As much as I respect you and Mark, I dont understand why he doesnt just get a trade membership as he clearly does gain benefit from this site (not just from you) which isnt fair on the other tuner/traders who do contribute.
Its not as if its a lot of money !!!!!!
