    Its gonna be along time before the car gets back on the road.

    The engine decided to eat itself at only 0.8 bar boost pressure on sunday night during testing.

    I cant say too much as I will have to go through the courts to reclaim my gear.

    I havnt given up though. If I get it back ill do what I should have done and build it myself.

    nope, CRD ripped him off..

    they wanted £8000 for the conversion before they lifted the bonnett after it blew up. they claimed that he bought a **** engine.

    so he looked at the legal side and in scotland if you dont pay the company can keep your car, do anything with it, but there not allowed to sell it.

    CRD are a bunch of rip off useless ***** imo

    well all i know is that he supplied the engine and all parts, they fitted the engine and motec. got it running atleast 6 months after the promised date. then the price went thru the roof. from there they got it on the road, started to map it and boom it melted a piston.

    thats the story i know. and wot happened after that ive said above.

    maybe get his email and see how he is?
