right just to add since i sourced these springs through joe iv just asked him what they are and so you all know im not talking shit they are from an old cosworth dfr or dfv i think he said so are actualy f1 valve springs so i was wrong to quote f1 spec but didnt want to say untill i was sure...you can all take the piss as your all so knowledgeable but havent even heard of a f1 valve spring being fitted to a yb from an engine of the same era..i was going to use these springs as weve used them in a few fancy engines and know they work well....but hey you lot know better and find it funny to take the piss when infact we are using f1 springs!!!!
also chip you know it all iv actualy been present when joe has taken apart and rebuilt v10 f1 engines as late as a 2007!!!why do you feel the need to comment on someones abality when you know fuck all about them????
joe has been flown out all over the world to sort certain f1 cars be it not a current 2009 but say 2 year old one..
just because you might not have the knowledge (or even anyone you know)to build an f1 engine doesnt mean that others havent!!!

Whats that got to do with asking about F1 spec?

Wozzy already knows that, you dont need to tell him

so no need to feel inferior or lose sleep over anyone that might be a better engine builder than the shead!!!

I would agree that Chip can be a real irritating cunt at times but it is his eye for detail and fact that seem to piss people of and his obvious knowledge, and sure some people like to trawl threads taking pot shots at others,

Its makes no sense at all really does it. i ask a simple question to which you answered. Ok there is a hint of sarcasm in my posts but that is just down to my 'warped' sense of humour. So no need for the kind of replies you are posting. Anyone would think this is a car forum for sharing information.

As for who builds my engine, if you do a search on here you'll find that i have never got involved with the whole, MAD vs SCS vs AG vs NORRIS vs HADLAND tuner wars shit......as its completely anal!!!! And alot of people who i know on this forum personally ( who are top people in person ) are made to look like complete dicks the way they have their head up their tuners arse! So please do not put me in the same category. But on that point, yes i do think Mark builds fantastic engines. Thats why i have used him for the past 6 years. Can no one else build a good engine?? of course they can but according to some posts on here you wouldn't think so. lol

ps. i will give myself one of these, as it would seem you do actually use (old) f1 spec springs in your builds

B19 DFP/ Danny;

The original question by Wozzy was not directed at you; he merely asked a question which you've got hold of and think its a personal attack against you!

It wasnt an attack on you!!! - just reading your replies (not just this thread either), you always seem on the defensive. Some of your replies do you no favours as a company or engine builder.

i'm sure your more than competant at building engines, but i doubt you'll see Harvey/ Mark Shead/ etc etc on here calling people KNOB etc

just my opinion of course

Yet again, whoever you are (I dont know or care) you seem to find me a more interesting topic of conversation than cars or engines, if you dont like my posts, simply put me on ignore.

quite right too! i suppose the fact that harvey doens't really post on here could help on that one! lol

Maybe in a few years once mark has tought his son how to build and map engines, he could sign up on here too and argue with jimbo! 'tunerz sonz warz'. wow can't wait for that

Seriously though, i think people on this forum are lucky to have such a wealth of experienced qualty tuners to choose from, as they all have there own way of doing things. All you've got to do as a customer is take your pick!!

the original question was directed at me because it was me that said f1 springs and as usual the pf gang jumped on my back and then started taking the piss...read the thread again and the question came from another thread where miker asked me a spec of an engine...yes you might be right i do get defensive but to be fair im not a bullshitter and i try and say the facts as i know them and yet people still disbelieve you or think your talking shit!!!so of course i get pissed of...
iv said loads of times i dont own a company or advertise to build engines so i dont have anyone to please specialy on here...if people want me to build them an engine or go to luke at enhanced performance thats great and then when and if they meet me they will find out im ok...
look at it from my point of view someone says bla bla i say f1 and everyone takes the piss!!!havent you noticed chips said fuck all since iv corrected him twice???

im sorry it i offend but il only treat people the way they treat me..
take the piss and il say it how it is..
disbelieve me and il prove you wrong
talk to me with some respect and i will do the same
talk bullshit and il tell you
am i perfect???NO FUCKING WAY!!!
will i admit when im wrong???YES!!!

Where was that, I didnt see it?
Do you mean cause you said Joe did something with an engine that was only a few years old not decades old like I had referred to when talking about valve springs? Fail to see how you think that was correcting me TBH, you appeared to be talking about something different as a 2007 car still wouldnt have had valve springs.

Even with that 2007 one you mention, I would imagine he's still just doing hand-me-down repair work on engine, not developing them for the manufactuers like you have (intentionally or not) been implying to people it would appear, but I dont know the details so didnt comment.

I couldnt care less what he builds or not, only person who's abilities I really care much about as an engine builder are my own as thats who builds my engines.
