I think he meant the truck was coming around the bend at 50mph to be honest.

Made me feel dirty typing that.

and you think a professional driver in a big truck would be passing a car on his side of the road, on a blind corner at 50MPH?

if a 10 tonne truck is doing 50, what is it's stopping distance?

if the truck was doing 50, you wouldn't be able to see the skid marks left by the car, the truck would have carried on going past them

Huffy the subaru slayer knows about this thread and the other one, surely if he was innocent and people were making things up and lying, he would be replying and fighting his side

If you compare the knowledge on this forum to the knowledge on a facebook subaru group, where will the best and most experienced info be?

So if you apply the same logic to tuners - Andy Forrest, Scooby Clinic, Roger Clarke, engine tuner, API, are all on here, but Tony Rotherham Scoobies Hough isn't

I agree with you fully. I didn't say I believed him, just that I thought that was what he was trying to say!

Made me chuckle today. So he has his engine built and mapped by PVD, who are in Halifax. He states he's in Halifax and even says he ripped his splitter off driving back from Halifax. Yet when bragging about a graph of his dyno result (which is strategically missing the all important ambient temps, Inlet temps and barometric pressure that can all be fiddled to make power), he tries to take credit with the "not bad for someone that doesn't know ****" comment.

No sir, you don't know ****. That's why someone else had to build and map your engine for you.

By the way, I'm going to ask Mr Tumble over there some questions. I'm also going to put what I believe to be the correct answer, but obviously he can always come and correct me if I am wrong...

Does he have insurance ? NO

Does he have a dyno. ? NO

Does he have employees ? 1, his mate Karl who by all accounts is the only one with any real mechanical training or experience.

Does he have public liability ? NO

Does he have a land line ? NO

Does he have any working ramps that are H&S certified ? NO - his wonky second hand Ramps were erected by a mate for £20 in his previous garage and probably the same deal in his new unit.

Indeed considering banny did that maybe 8yrs ago with a jdm bottom end, think it was about 520 odd if memory serves me right.

Think we all better get round to bannys gaff and start a specialist tuning business.

Sorry 6yrs ago.

I think you better pop round to Rotherham scoobies and show him how it's done.

Think you need to be into the 700's these days to get people excited, which is mad really when you think about it, no doubt in the not too distant future that will be pretty common place and everyone will be aiming at high 800's mid 900bhp.

The funniest thing about all of this is that he was trying for 500BHP in 2014.... How the eff you see kay can an experienced mechanic/tuner/specialist/expert/trained chimp take 2 years to get a car from +400 to 500???

Yep, Glenn got over 500 and Lee got 505bhp on standard blocks

If huffy [the subaru slayer] was such a good subaru specialist, why not build himself a 600+ bhp engine????

Most tuners can get 600bhp from a subaru, but Huffy was happy to pay PVD for 500bhp

He can't even build his own engine, so why would you trust him to build you an engine
