I know, what would we do without that ginger bloke and the guy with the epic moustache?! Maybe they could find the cause of the det-damaged pistons too

did you know When Adelie penguins hop off the ice and into the ocean, they accelerate from 0 to 16 mph in less than one second. That’s important to avoid leopard seals that swim at an average speed of 4 mph.

and has any cunt sorted out the egg and the chicken thing yet ?

brad

Yep , danny sorted it out last week but you obviously missed it!!.
Apparently it was something about 14.5 degree advance and the angle of the self lubricating mingewig being the only real explanation of how the egg came about momentarily before the chicken exploded all over the baffled fucknuckle.
Obviously tony disagreed and stu refused to comment but the early learning centre,s "my first computer" confirmed danny's results to be correct although there was a small amount of pitting on the top of the egg , the cause of which is unknown.

so to stop the chicken exploding did they back the timing back to 8-9 degree ? or maybe running the chicken on a hacked t38 chip was just to much

Does anyone know why a fart always seems to smell worse in the bathroom?

Rab

Since 2003 there has been a lot of tuners popping up on PF. They all start as the next big thing, getting better results for less money with newer technology. Then we get a thread, where one customer is unhappy. This is usually dismissed as one disgruntled looney, who is just difficult to please after spending 10k plus on an engine or whatever. Then there are a few more threads, and before you know it, sockets are getting left inside the rocker cover, and wastegate pipes are being made from B+Q Copper tubing.... There's huge scandals because the new companies have not been mapping because they didn't really know how in the first place, and people have been paying top dollar for shite.

All the while, the 'old guard' are still here, plugging away, not being the next big thing and not grabbing the headlines, but just doing the job the way they've always done it...... right.

The new companies then go bust, fold up, close down.... There are usually recriminations, money is owed and lost. Names are called. Threats are made. Bans are handed out.

The old companies start getting a bit more business, sorting out the mess that a dead YB makes. All the cars are working again...... Everyone is happy!












Then you notice a post. "Just had a new engine build by a new company!! It's the next big thing this type of engine build/turbo/management"


And off we go again.

educate yourselves here http://www.enginelogics.com/detonation.html
why certain tuners are obsessed with higher comp and or more advance is beyond me
Read It all guys
now being a bit of a yb expert myself detonation is more often caused by igniting the charge too early in the engine cycle
max power for min advance

I mess with cars still because i enjoy them its my hobby and i love them..

I also have a bloody quick car that although is in bits at the mo will come back bigger and better and il challenge anyone in this thread to see if theyre tuner built car can beat mine around any track they choose??

Paul you dont even bring your shiny stuff out!! theyre just ornaments ..lol

I have only personally owned one tuning company and that was abc motorsport

Luke owned enhanced performance and i tried my best to help and was like a spoke man when it came to this site!!

Luke is a good mapper full stop and i can tell you there was literally loads of cars he has mapped that are still fine now so he cant of done much wrong with them..

Yes he fucked up here and there at the end and let some people down but he went through a really difficult personal time that ended in divorce etc..

Its just a shame that it ruined what i helped him build in the process..

So i owned abc and helped luke with ep...wheres the other company??

Abc when i owned it did very well thank you and when i sold up due to my personal problem in 08 i sold it on for Ł75k so cant see how any one could say it was a failed business leaving a trail of debt???

I owed no body and like said sold on!! i had bad personal difficultys so got out of everything for just over a year but left luke out of work,he then started ep but struggled so i started to help out and all started to go very well untill his own difficulties ...

Its a shame that all the happy people we have both helped dont tend to get on here often or see these threads and say a good word..

Infact its always the same old faces that have negatives to say and alot of that is because they either havnt met me or they are licking one of the mods or traders ass holes out!!


So you all know very little about my business senses infact iv had 5 businesses and have always done well out of every one of them and then sold on and moved on again myself..

Abc fucked up because the guy that bought it from me was a builder all his life and thought he could take on car and engine building,he dissapointed a lot of people and proceeded to lose all his money inside of 2 years..this is what gave abc the worst reputation not me...

Rebuilding 2012

Well here it is, a full run down of what went wrong with me and ep . Yes it's me Luke and this post is not inviting a slagging match but thanking those of you who new what happened to me and stood buy me and apologising to those of you who did not get me at my best and lost out !

As your all probably aware I finally gave up last year aug sept time after having cars my life for 15 years ! This was not an easy. Choice but my heart was not in it and my life had gone totally fucked up !

I'm not asking for any sympathy but I just want you to understand how and why things got out of control and so bad .
Those of you who have known me for years will remember the lady ( and I use that term loosely ) I met in 2004 and very stupidly fell in love with ! Well alot of the mistakes I made from abc Motorsport to present was because I spent the last 7 years odd of my life trying to hang on to this shit relationship. Eaven tho every one kept telling me she was a skank taking me for everything she could and yes Danny you were right! I still kept on. She would empty me of money and forever pick me up and drop me as and when she found a new bloke! But yes I went back every time ! I did have my kids and yes I would not change them for the world !

Any way she ran off with a bloke in November 2010 which totally fucked me up and many of you no work started to suffer but still for my kids and familie I tried to get her back and did just before xmas that year . This was my final stupid mistake ! She did not want me back she was a clever cunt with a plan and that plan was to get everything she could out of me Ie cars cash jewellery tvs house all done up then finally dump me over a text on aug the 6 th 2011 leaving me Basicly homeless with a bag of clothes , no car no bussines nothing . Best Bit of all is the bloke she ran off with was the same one from the previous year and had recently. Even convicted of child abuse ( beating a child) . As you all no since the privious year and all the shit I had started to drink heavy . This tipped me over the edge !! I was gagging for the end of every day just to kneck Bottle after bottle of wine . I took the bitch to court as I did not want this new man near my children , as she moved him in the day I left . NICE not . I got what is called a prohibitive steps order on her which ment her new feller could not go anywhere near my kids but as the good mother she is she would rather see her new man so I ended up with the kids 4 days and 3 nights a week every week from last sept till now . Needles to say staying in hotels and friends well those I had left was not easy but I did it ....

It all got a little to much for me in December last year and on the 19 th dec 2011 I found myself sat buy railway tracks with three bottles of wine and two bottles of night nurse totally at the end of everything . I could not tell you what was on my mind that day but I no I was a broken hurt man which I had not eaven admited to myself let alone friends . I took all the. Substances with me and passed out before I eaven made it to the track . I was found and sectioned in hospital to dry me out and to have councillng which to be honest I needed ! I left hospital in jan this year and have been getting on just me and the kids quietly . I have accepted how badly I fucked up and realised I lost everything in life for a woman that was not worth anything !

Towards the end of ep I had a busness partner that nicked money out the company , I moved from. Bolney to Horsham with afr which was a massive mistake I could not afford to run .......
Danny tried and tried to keep me going he eaven lent me dosh to try and get me on my feet again. But it all had to end ... I had to hit the bottom !

I had alot of happy customers and some pissed off ones towards the end . Ill apologise and thank you all ,

So slim and dan thank you for being there and trying to keep me going and still being cool now and alowing me to sort you out .

Thanks to dan warren for listening and keeping cool and alowing me to sort out .

Thanks to Danny p for being there through the whole 7 years

Apologies to peter jan but I still don't no where you sent it !! Don't slag me off pm me now my head is straight a d let's get to the bottom !

Apologies to Antony white for not concerntrating on your car coz my head was not in it. It also thank you for. Being there to talk to !

Apologies to danster for my mess up but I did sort you out well !!!

And a reminder to all those of you like moonstone Steve who found it easy to have a dig when you don't no the full story ! You car was mint and from all my fuck ups there were still alot of good well mapped cars I did and was always willing to help !

The s1 John sarger sorry but no sorry there I gave the whole story at the time and I still stand right in this !

Hope this gives some understanding ! Sorry to all i owe that to and please do not turn this thread in to a bitch match . Luke

First of all you need to remember that faulty work can endanger people's lives; leaving bare wires under dashboards etc - well I don't need to tell you what that could lead to. You seemed genuine at the time but you have taken me and probably quite a few others for mugs - this I'm not. This impression of you was reinforced by your so-called friends who you now claim knew the situation you were in and still allowed you to work on people's cars, taking their money when your 'head' and 'heart' were not in it. I don't need to go into this further as everyone now knows your reputation and can imagine the service I would have received.

Maybe apart from apologies you should think of a way to repay me and the others that ended up with a half hearted 'bodge jobs' after paying for what we thought was going to be a profesional job!

At the end of the day actions speak louder than words, it would be nice to recoup some of the money that I gave you in good faith, after having to take the car to someone else to be made safe, both install and map!

That saves me typing out my feelings mate, thanks, and as for my car leaving Luke mint it was far from it, the air injectors were having a fit all the way home and then had to take it back with them doing the same, plus the mapping issues, but hey what do I know I'm just a trusting mug that got sucked in as well as the many others.....and I dare say there are many others.

Anyway on a positive note I'm so looking forward to having my Desert Moonstone Tornado back on the road
