1st to provide proof of a running Bimmy Conversion!

Brisbane ,Australia

any of you guys seen this???

Morspeed claiming this in their on-line build guide-->

"""""As Morspeed were the FIRST company to pioneer a successful twincam conversion in 8v & 16v """""

Crap!!! & sorry but it just gets my back up big time,,, I know what has happened with all this & it`s just wrong for anyone to lay claim to something that was already pasted all over the net before they even bought their first Bimmer head

i`ve spat my rant out on the EFIminis site here-->

http://www.efiminis.olicentral.com/index.p...msg4948#msg4948

again sorry , but John K doesn`t claim to have been the first,,,

They make this claim Over 10 years "after" it`s been on my web site for all to see & copy at their leisure & still they have the gall/hide to claim to be the "Pioneer" ... Ha!!! eat shit & stick to your "maybe" 3rd place *smiley*

You could always submit a complaint to the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) over here.

I doubt they would do much but it might cheer you up !!!

well,,, credit where credit is due i reckon & Greg was the first to do it , so it should be known across the land i say... it definately wasn`t Morspeed & by quite a number of years i might add... It`s considered flattery to have your stuff copied, so i guess we should be happy & humbled,,, just that it really P!$$es me to see people taking credit for other peoples hard work.

I feel that this might be the time to post up a thread from another forum, that at the time got rather heated.

Note also a few familiar names *happy* Antman AKA Swisstony having a go at me *happy* and, oh look, Fastcarl talking to Dan Webster about the DON's 16v KAD engine *happy* and the classic response from TD *hehe!*

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

ha ha,,, nice one Sproket,,, good for you to stick up for the truth in that thread

& i especially like this-->
"""Don't EVER dis the DIY conversions as this is where you have coppied ideas from, they are not yours. Well ok I give you the custom cams but thats it."""

hee hee,,, sooo true & is in fact one of my main points

& i just love TDs responses,,, pure brilliance,,, just wish i had known about it & added to that thread myself back then, i certainly would have set some of those bullshit records/claims straight

miniwilliams,,, yeah i remember some of what you are on about,,, typical tho,,, poeple trying to cash in on your hard work by claiming you use their products,,, hence they sell the same items to Joe & jane Doe off the street,,, sort of free advertising by lying to the general public.

I had that sort of thing years ago in my racing here in Aust,,, a few people claimed to have built my own engines just so they could get the punters money for an engine build,,, what they don`t realise is tht word gets back to the people concerned & the "Real" truth comes out in the open & bites therm in the arse in the end

Like i said earlier,,, they can go suck sh!t & pretend all they like... & as for the """But thats just it, many have tried and have failed to make it a worth while conversion""" What little he knows hey???

& then this from that other ill-informed fool--> """ of the few people who tried to complete it, failed, and those whom succeeded, didnt use custom made head gaskets, correctly custom manufactured pullies, belts or cams to suit an A series engine. """"

ahh,,,, just sh!ts me off

anyways,,, glad you cranked up the vibe on there with some decent hard & fast facts Sproket,,, just wish i was in there myself at the time *smiley*

Judging by morspeeds recent efforts...the engine was probably fully paid for 10 years ago and shipped to the customer but just "got lost in the post" a few times (for 10 years). *hehe!*
