I've cracked it - I can call it an Escort Cosworth WRC spoiler, that way there is absolutely no way there can be any confusion with current WRC cars . With this in mind, the F1 springs can be called "DFV F1 springs", which would also clarify things here as well . Much better than "historic" .

 

nice one mike from now on im calling them cosworth dfv f1 springs....

hang on a minute though


























is that ok with you chip?????




cheers danny

 

i would say i'm 'fairly' clued up on engines/engine building/motorsport etc. well certainly no less than alot of people on here, but i didn't no the above. hence why i asked the question

and i got the answer about 3 pages ago

 

[quote=Chip;4565471]I think that was Wozzy's intention when he started it


it wasn't chip, it was a genuine question to which i didn't no the answer. how ever sarcasticly i worded it it was still a genuine question

 

You can't even spell "know", so the jury is out on your motorsport knowledge .

You probably DID know, but your brain has since been addled when you moved to the dark side and purchased that Jap bean tin thing .

Next Dave will be joining you, and he will also forget all his accumulated Cosworth knowledge when he has no need for it due to the reliability (AKA character-less to us ardent Cossie fans ) of his Jap crap Evo .

 

mike, i think your comparison to 'wrc' or historic wrc spec items is incorrect. When someone is selling a 'wrc' spoiler for an escort you know its not current. As most people on here know when escorts were in wrc. but the term f1 implies something that has been going for donkeys years. so how would you know unless you ask

 

Sounds very accurate to me

 

 

thank god for that!!!! im happy now to know in the future if i say cosworth dfv f1 springs that no body will ever think im trying to big up thier engine!!!!

even if they have got much better springs than most..

cheers danny

 

i didn't realise this was a spelling test mike. However know is the correct spelling, i just used it in the wrong context. oops and i type i instead of I.

Sheady doesn't use good grammer on this forum either but that doesn't effect his technical knowledge does it. i'm sure he's made you look silly in technical discussions many a time!!

PLease someone shut this thread down now. My question has been answered lol

 

PMSL at 'he knows hes shit'. It's even a tag now!

 

Have the children finished yet?

 

you can do that yourself mate as the thread starter

 

it was said in jest but thankyou. i didn't know that

 

Actually, I don't recall Mr Slim ever having done that, as he doesn't stoop so low as attempting to belittle people, he has Chip for that .

I was attempting to inject some humour, I apologise if it seemed like you were receiving a lesson - perhaps you have spent too much time around Chip to believe that was the case .

 

God here we go, ive sold the cossie and still be spoke about, must of been a legend in my own right

Mike just so l clear on this what WRC parts do you have now?


Cheers

 

so can anyone shed some light on this? or is it just a case of picking someone at random then bumlicking them to death?

 

Great read.
Good to see Tuners bringing F1 Technology to their cars, well ive a few choice parts as well, cant get left behind Danny.

I cant help on the basis of which engine builders are good or not, as I build my own engines, but I guess you can just look at which ones build the type of engine you want and have plenty of happy customers and not many unhappy ones.

MAD / NMS / SCS all seem to be pretty good bets for a YB for example.

Couldnt tell you if one is particuarly better than the other as I have never used any of them, but if I was going to do so I would probably go to Mark just because I have always found him very approachable and I know lots of satisfied customers of his.

I dont think you will ever definitively be able to say that one engine builder is clearcut better than another though!

 

My my my... some predicted 3.. some even 5....

but 7 pages later!? and still it snowballs

 

Now its been given the opportunity by Brian to have a go at Tuna Warz, it could get to double figures easily

 

Where has Mike gone? Check out the WRC parts and 909 items

 

YUM will be remembered for years to come .

At present:
WRC Pub spec =
Inlet manifold
Rear spoiler
Front splitter
Front bumper
Front wings
Front brakes (CP6235LC)

Grp A Pub spec =
Rear brakes
Airbox
Suspension
R&D Front diff

Coming shortly:
Front hubs
Front ARB
Front TCAs
Front cross-member

And taking pride of place, a WRC sticker on the back .

 

Looking forward to seeing it at Bedford then Mike, sounds good

Will it be able to run full boost on the day or is the exhaust still too noisey?

 

nice list you have Mike

Now can we see the list without the FAKE WRC parts please

We would not want to confuse people with whats original and whats fake

 

this board gets more like the daily sport every day ! this particular thread as about as muxh bullshit to

 

Seems to vary on the conditions. The last time I was there (Feb this year), I only ran it at 1.6 bar, as they had changed the warning process, so that basically there was none - you trip the meter and you're off for good .

However, at 4.45, I got into a battle with Lee and thought fuck it, if I get black flagged and kicked off now, who cares at this late stage - so cranked the boost up to the full 2.2 bar and let loose. Had great fun keeping Lee at bay for the last few laps (even though I had no idea he was cheating - I was concentrating that much ) and didn't get flagged :dunno:.

I'm not stupid though, this could have been because they couldn't seperate the noise between myself and Lord Manning, and he can basically hit 300dB and they'll still let him keep going . Perhaps I just need to make sure I always stay within a few car lengths of him .

 

That will be all the cosmetic parts, which are all copies of the originals - apart from the wings, as they were done by the same guy that did them for the works cars .

 

Least this has kept you all entertained for the day eh

Z

 

Jay what makes you think that?

Wouldn't have something to do with all the tits on here

 

been like that for a few years now, 1 strike and you are out


FPMSL

So true, like the time me and Rich and Jim went there in Jim's M3 and they were fully booked till we name dropped then they fitted us in no problem

 

there's more tits on here than than a tit convention

 

There is now that you and Dave have joined in !

 

once again your wrong rainbird im another part of a woman's anatomy closely related to chip its called a cunt

 

One that supplies what you ask for at a price you both agree on.
I got just what i asked for so for me thats the best engine builder.

If you hang on a few months Danny & his mate Luke will be facing MAD for the Topspeed crown 'F1' AGAINST 'Isky' if you like .
I asked for an engine to set records, for 5 years MAD have delivered so perhaps he deserves a bumlick .
In case Mike gets excited, that last line is only a joke .

 

Cheers Mike

 

You will have no arguement from me in that regard .

 

I wish Chip would become historic Chip and not post here any more!

The following would happen:

1. This website would become for more harmonious.

2. MAD's popularitary would rise ten fold

 

If you wish that, simply add me to your ignore list, problem solved.

But then you couldnt spend so much time moaning about me as you do, so I guess that you enjoy that too much to actually want me on ignore

 

Chip it was purely banter!! I stopped taking your posts literaly a long time ago

But me putting you on ignore would not have the same effect of you getting your arms stolen by aliens so you can't type
