Bit of a shame really, went there for a RR day once, and have always heard good things about them!

 

Realy?!?! Fook I use them for my fez turbo.

Real shame if this is True!

 

Isnt Simon from PF having work done there on his ST170?

 

shame

 

Simon collected his car last weekend all finished

 

Well from my experience with Chris Todd, this is what happens when you speak and treat people like idiots and then come on sites like this acting the twat slating people, not mentioning any names but i see nms are still trading !!

 

Something has always put me off using these, I cant put my finger on what but whenever anyone has mentioned them i have always completely ignored what they were saying!

 

I'll just get this in before the thread totally turns to shit, thank you to all our customers who actually had work carried out by totd over the past 4 years, it was not my choice that the company closed down, but unfortunately times are tough and overheads are high, thanks again to all the customers and friends who supported us. Chris.

 

I was only there last week and have always thought they were doing well.

Good luck for the future everyone

 

Thats a shame, never used them but its always sad to see a respected tuner closing, whatever people opinions are of them, they have clearly done some nice work.

 

Always helpful and friendly when I went down there, helped me out when I needed my actuator rod sorting out at short notice and I had a good day when UKFORD OC had a RR day down there.

Sad to hear goes to show how difficult things are out there

Well there goes my plan to get mine setup... Any other good tuners down south???

 

what shit news, companies dying all over the place, building, manufacture, motors..... glad to not be self employed anymore. i thought torque of the devil were pretty big too, always in the mags etc..

 

Only been there for a RR day myself, But i still dont like to see others out of work...


hope you find something else soon

I sorry to here this sad news mate i came down for a RRD about 2 years back with some ford ST lads and it was a cracking day and seamed a good bunch of lads that worked there sad new . All i can say is all the best for the futcher in wot ever you all go in to

 

Sad to hear, always found the guys there very helpful. Did a few RR days there.

 

Had some mapping and bits done by you guys, and been to a rolling road day. Couldnt fault you one bit and very sorry to here about this. Best of luck in future.

 

blimey! always been good when i had my turbos looked at by them.

 

my car was all rolling road tuned maped and set up there runs sweet as a nut

 

i thought they were moving to new premises across the road
thats what i was told on thursday

 

i have used them plenty of times over the years and the andy and chris have been more then helpful its a shame there gone.

 

shame ...

 

shame...

 

TOTD revived my escort cos in 2008 when it had a multitude of problems ,at a very reasonable cost too ,seemed a nice bunch of people,

BUT ,whilst my car was there,there was a thread on RSOC from a Focus RS MK1 owner after they cocked up some boost bleed valve thingymabob and there was some big slagging off going on ,which didnt fill me with confidence .

 

I remember that they fitted a piece of plastic with a hole drilled in it to act as a bleed valve. It was there way of adjusting the boost when the turbo was hot.

 

Sorry to hear that, Hopefully you will all find good jobs quickly.

mad near j8/9 on the m4 ... not that much further away

 

That's shit, no wonder I couldn't book in for a set up spent the whole week getting foobed off makes sence now

 

i think tuners need to have the gear to map the webber stuff as cossies probly have the most money thrown at them for tuning and it so surprising how many rolling road companys that dont have the gear to access the ecus? most people dont want aftermarket ecus, there too expensive and they fail alot...and are just not needed for a 500bhp spec

if a tunner with a good rep was near me with access to map a l8 on dyno i would use them a couple times a year...


this is just my opinion

 

The Cossie market is very small, My average Evo build cost is twice that of a Cossie,
So this is a tiny market if it stopped tomorrow it would have very little impact on me.

shame to hear.

 

Agree, talking to a tuning company about the high value jobs they have in for Jap stuff was an eye opener - engine builds around the Ł6k mark and one customer dropping off a car asking for a Ł25k 600bhp full build - Supra or similar I think.

Cossie world is small compared to modern Jap stuff - especially in value terms.

Dam was planning my engine build around them! Wanted them to do the lot!

 

Another one bites the evr.

 

No way!

Shocked!

Been being asked about this recently and was suprised, was saying "naaaaah, surely not" to the people talking to me.

Bad news. Good bunch of lads and they did a foookin amazin' job on my Mk1.


CHRIS- Get in touch with me mate....dunno what you have lined up, but I have a job offer worth listening too for you from someone who has been talking to me.

Good luck to you all.

 

a great company and was hoping to come back ! do'h!

 

good is all i can say..... as i dont like chris todd....

 

thats a bit harsh aint it mate,
its never good when a company goes down the pan, they were a good bunch of lads

torque of the devil...open back up in a smaller place u obviously seem to be liked!
