hello all just thinking of upgrading my 2wd sapph to a 400 bhp bench dynoed lump had loads of prices but the best was a company called abc motorsport in horsham sussex which is just up the road from me but i have never heard of them just wonderd if any body had or had work done and comments as I WANT MY NEW ENGINE

 

Lots of new people on here wanting advise on 400bhp engines lately.



Dave.

 

there spec is verry good

 

What spec is it?


Dave.

 

Seen them advertised in motorsport news...never heard of em myself but soon will as i must make sure they buy there bosch parts from me!


Yes 370 - 400bhp is my first upgrade...although i only got to add a set of greys and turn the boost up with suitable chip.

 

think you have forgot to swap over to 'lovinitsideways' Phil.



Dave.

 

200 block with six long studs wrc head gasket group a ported head bd14 inlet bd 10 zorst iski valve springs low comp mahle pistons 7.8.1 cosworth shells high flow oil pump t34 with 360 etc greys l8 ecu with pectel all for 4500 excange or 6 k outright all bench dynoed and fitted

 

So what you going for Phil.

Exchange or outright.

me, i would go for outright and save the original engine.

Saying that i would built it myself.



Dave.

 

Remember 1 thing i dont NEED to hide

 

So why do it then.





Dave.

 

IMA. why not just put your old saph engine and set up in it!?

that would do 400 easy wouldnt it? AND be brand new
AND show all your 'haters' that your engine can do the business.

 

It aint me...and FYI the current engine will stretch to 400bhp with a couple of mods done this week...My NEW DIY engine is for when i get serious about the transmission.

I am pure DIY why would i get someone else to do it

 

i recently had one of there 400bhp units fitted to my escort cosworth this engine came with a warranty a dyno graph and i drove it in on a thursday and picked it up on saturday had it 2 weeks no probs lovly bit of kit +

 

dont think i suggested that you were not gonna DIY it.

just wondered why you aint just gonna put the thing in and start off
with it.

then worry about the transmission at a later date.

PS. dont think standard boxes like 400 much anyway so you might as well worry about it all now lol

 

when you see them ask them to stop useing pictures of my race cars on there adds!!!!!!!

i have twice but it does not seem to get though to them. next step legal action,

the guy who owns abc bought my old rs500 as a rolling shell without the engine ect and took some pictures of my other cars then he was at my garage,

but he did not tell me he was going to start useing them on his adds and making it look like he does my tuning work!!

when he does not and i have never bought or never will anything of them.

 

martinrs500labatts,

Don't rate them Martin.



Dave.

 

The only pics i have seen r of the car they own e773 mmm and they have never told me they service your cars but have said they saw them and complimented your collection i think your barking up the wrong tree

 

i met the guy who owns abc when he bought the car, he told me he was a car trader and buys and sell cosworth mainley, which there is nothing wrong with that ect,

but i am fussy who i would use for stuff and been useing steve scott for the past few years and he allways sorts me out, so when he started useing pictures of my cars on his add,

i was not to happy, not for me but it was false addvertising and could give the impression to someone they look after my cars, when he does NOT!!

 

TRY LOOKING IN AT LEAST FOUR COPYS OF FAST FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WOULD NOT HAVE MINDED BUT IT DID NOT STOP WHEN I ASKED THEM,

 

as i have said allready i have no idea whot there work is like

but you get a feel for a company and when they take the piss out of you its not a good one.


where i dont buy fast ford often i was supprised to see them useing the pic in last months copy again,

 

ill ask when im in there next week for my service as thought the two guys that run it were helpfull and mabe i can help buy passing your message on

 

Just looked!




blue one and the black one.

You deffo would think that the cars were something to do with that company.



Dave.

 

a photo well wat ever man iam happy with the way my car came out of there and so r all the other people i have spoken to. i hav only seen 1 pic and that is of there RS 500 which is wicked

 

looked like this when i had it,

 

Take a drive to coventry..... NMS Motorsport all the way......

Give Karl a call.

 

the 500 looks wicked in that pic from the looks of things the wheels are the only exterior change made and i have read the engine is big bhp.well after reading all these posts i decided to give them a bell got hold of a guy called luke who was very keen to listen to the comments about the pics and said he would sort the issue on monday as he was unaware of bad feeling but back to the real issue my engine i think im gonna give these boys a go as they have only a two to 3 week lead time and i can go see at every stage

 

Give them a go, I was speaking with the guy at Ford Fair seem to know his onions.

Cant see how they are doing the job so cheap though, heard a rumor they were not using genuine parts.. worth double checking.

Keep us posted

 

that moonstone 500 is the one car that made me want a 3door and now i have one i want some of the touring car wheels its gorgous

 

well im a valeter for abc motorsport and personally i think that the rs 500 looks better now than it ever did {THATS BECAUSE I HAVE CLEANED IT LOL}not only that it is bigger bhp.I would have my engine and have had my engine done by them.I have nailed enough blokes out there. to them blokes i have kicked arse

 

well cozzie bitch we will have to see how clean you can get my car he he do you offer a valeting service while my engine is being done do you no if your boys use genuine parts for there engines can i call him again i no its sunday

 

mint car e773mmm loved it i wonderd if martin had set the place up after i saw his cars in the ads but now i know differently its not right is it martin. 400bhp engine seems a good reliable spec must be a punchy ride with a t34 turbo.

 

wats this lets lick martins arse web site.jesus did not realize there was only 1 labbatts rs 500 and only 1 texco rs 500 get a life you sad oooooooooooooos

 

Very much agreed


Also I think from what I have heard of the other company I wouldn't go there

 

wat have u heard

 

i can do a valeting service when ever and yes i do clean the cars that come in for work.you can call when ever not a problem.genuine parts is all that is used

 

Martin - The way you've worded it sounds like your are pointing the finger at A1 Rallysport.

 

lick lick brown tougue

 

the only finger i point at A1 is a good one,

as most people who know me i only go there for my stuff and steve has become a friend as well.

as for the labatts car its very well know and it IS the only one left, also find me another eggenburger car in this country let alone parked next to a labatts car,

as i said to ABC when they first started useing the picture, it makes them look like they do look after the cars for me when they do not.

simple as really,

 

go on google m8 and do a search it dont take much 2 get a picture of the cars

Also my car was valeted by abc (cossiebitch) wat a good job car is now mint

 

See where your coming from now Martin. Cheers for clearing the confusion up.
