Default YUM post?

Ok, where did this post go https://passionford.com/forum/showthread.php?t=328737?

Did it turn to shite? If so why? I looked at it earlier and was enjoying reading the graphs and discussion. Hour or two later and it's gone

This place pees me off, I can't imagine it got locked or deleted for anything other than a negative reason.

What the fook is wrong with people on here



Graph looked bloody lovely, and was good to see the car was running decent power even on mild boost. AFR plot was sweet too


Really gutted I never got to go out in it (real tears)

Pardon?

The post was always going to turn to shit and get deleted, engine for sale, rolling up in 3rd gear, "only" making 600 odd bhp, done in private, the list is endless. This is a tuners forum or hadn't you guessed

Not sure how videoing it and posting it on a forum is "done in private" TBH, what did people want a live gig at the albert hall on a portable dyno?

More to the point, why arent the mods moving posts full of arguing to the "spat your dummy room" which gold members pay to have access to so that if they wish to read a post that has gone to shit they still can.

Surely thats the WHOLE point of that room existing, for posts like that?

Why do people feel the need to turn it to shit??? cant see the point. Maybe jealousy that daves got a car and engine that theyll never be able to afford or faster than thiers or something, but thats just childish if they want to turn it to shit because of that.

Surely the figures do the speaking?? YUM is not some BS claim engine which in reality had bodges and a bleed screw to get mega boost Its actually a proper built engine.

Chip, that picture sums you up nicely. If you could have found one with a tuner bent over in front of you and your tongue out, with a shack in the background it could even be you! LOL.

I did see the original post and all i can say is well done, great figures and this will certainly help the sale of that beast. You had to do it.

Chip, not sure how you can go from me talking to you, just another forum member, to complaining of being stalked? Are you aware of a real world outside the internet, as i am sure you know that stalking involves a little more than posting a reply to the village idiot on a forum.


I disagree on the box sale, as a short blast on a rolling road is hardly a major test of a gearbox. Maybe Yum should do a full track day? LOL!

This box has lasted Daddy Trash many many launches, Santa Pod same again, my feature at Brunters and was getting to 60 in 3.6

So really this box has been tested, also been on silverstone and Donninton this year

So well done Bara

like i said before, when someone else has spent the money they can tell us what they did, but seeing as only dave and rod have, as far as i am aware, there may be others, no one else can really see the story from their point of view

not to say that others haven't spent lots of money maknig engines with lots of power, i'm only refering to marks engines here

and i'm sure that chpi has had a hand in doing lots of helping out with daves engine so it's fairly easy to see why he's backing dave and daves choice of tuner

For just over 3.5k its a great box and l have never said any diffrent to that apart from 1 TIME and that was down the the input shaft, but went back to the standard one and has lasted the job

Now l really didnt want to spend 10k on the gearbox so this was the best for 3.5k

Yes, not saying you are not. But everytime you seem to post in a thread to do with Yum it turns to crap. Wonder why ?


And the people who slag me off as you put it make no impact in my life, so you seem to just be making youself look stupid. But for you that really is not hard......

I have never once slagged you personally! The threads about yum of late were always turning to crap because the manner they were posted in but then again its like some of rod's threads inviting ppl to dyno sessions ect must be a mad thing! something in the tea down that way perhaps.. Dont matter this will be locked soon anyway.

& it must make a little impact on your life you seem to be getting a bit touchy

who else had a failure along those lines?
i'm sure someone did?
and wasn't there a thread a while back listing which box was better for certain apps than others?

i certainly wouldn't want to spend Ł10k on a box just to proove a point on the internet

I dont know you Helen but i dont know if you noticed but its engines we are talking about and not personal remarks we are making about each other.

And its fairly obvious you don't know Carlo as he has a deep voice and doesn't squeek.

Yes Bara got some made up input shafts made and as far as l know they have failed, Now im sure Bara has spoken to the company that made them


Bara was the best option to me under 4k in the car unlike a ffd at 10k+ and thats not fitted in the car

Carlo does not know us, but it dont stop him from giving his opinion, so I'm having mine, nothing wrong with that is there?

Agree with Dojj, the owners of these car spent THEIR money on developing a car, if they choose to stop and persue other interest then thats upto them, and a wise decision in my opinion. It's all very well and true dictating on here what people should do but your not the one that has to pay for it, this is why I choose not to build a ridiculous power car. Good luck to Dave & Helen, i hope they start enjoying themselves more now that they don't have the burdon of an extremely expensive hobby hanging over their head.
