[quote pid=2030 author=volksnorm date=1214684817]as for stealing the design, i have been talking to steve (PSD), need i say more.[/quote]
Not quite sure why Mr Pitt has been telling a few people that Yoof copied his PSD prototype design - especially when it's a blatant lie. Bit difficult to copy something you've never seen.
From memory, Steve had John Marchant's Mk1 Polo turbo in for finishing off - which included fitting a Salzmann frame, which required a lot of butchering. Steve told me at the time he was getting a go-kart chassis builder to make him up an improved version of it, and once he'd built up an engine for his 'tin can' LHD Mk3 Polo to get it back on the road he'd test out the design.
At the time I'd offered him my car for a few months to test the frame, as I'd just put a K03'd 1341cc G40 together - and Steve was part-way through developing his PSD K03 turbo kit for G40s, so I thought it might help an old mate out. This was early 2007, and Steve understandably wanted to get the prototype frame tested on his car in case it caused any chassis damage - and he still had John's Mk1 and another fledgling K03 1341cc car to do his turbo development on, so didn't need my car.
By the time Steve remapped my car in April 2007, there was still no word of the PSD frame - I'm not sure if it'd been built by then, and if it had - it definitely wasn't on his car so no-one had seen it. In fact, when his car was at the RTOC vs CP shootout in October 2007 he still didn't have the frame fitted.
I got the prototype Polo-PP frame in August 2007 - a development of a design that Polo-PP's supplier had done for a G40 race car that'd been in use for 3 seasons (i.e. 3 years). They'd also done a frame for a road-going G40 prior to that for one of Yoof's friends a while before I got mine. So not quite sure how they copied PSD on that front.
