Just got my car back last night after having forged engine replacement inc tubs, ic's, pistons, injectors, pully's, clutch, flywheel etc etc, had 170 mile journey ahead of me, the car ran superbly without a hitch, a bit frustrating though because couldnt test it out as I have to run it in a bit, it's only running at 1 bar at the moment using boost jets, but I will be changing to boost controler in the near future. The only niggle I have is the rps racing clutch, its like standing on a stepping machine set at the hardest level lol, wont take long to get used to it though.

 

Thanks again to Chris and the boys.

Good to hear :D Congrats mate :D

Superb Leigh ;) I knew you wouldnt be dissapointed! The clutch will take a bit of getting used to but at least it should hold anything you throw at it!

Already getting used to it lol, is their any way of adjusting the bite on the clutch on these cars, its biting as soon as I lift off slightly, stalled it a few times doh

make sure you have got the reciept and guarentee.

i'd sooner put hot pokers in my eyes than return there. w###ers

I have the reciept and he has assured me the guarantee.

Yes it can be adjusted at the pedal. If you get your head down there you'll see where it can be adjusted. You need to slacken off a nut and turn a threaded bar, then tighten nut back up.

Suprised people still take their cars there to be honest. Sounds like you're happy though and good luck with it.

Be careful what you say mate, he told me before I took it their how he was rebuilding someones engine and that they had a cheapy waterpump, they wouldnt pay the extra money to replace it with a new original , the engine diddnt last long and the whole case went to court, he was not happy, thats why I replaced everything he reccomended, I know it must of been stressfull but my engine is absolutely perfect, I would reccomend him to anyone.

He was saying that if he sees that anyone is slagging his buisness off, he would take legal action as it could lose him buisness.

I agree with leigh. A lot of people expect to get an engine rebuilt for peanuts and dont like forking out on, in my opinion, essential items that should be replaced. These are not cheap cars to run or repair and in my experience skimping on a few bits hoping it will be alright is not an option!

Understood therefore don't you think it would be a good idea for "said" adviseries to be underwritten with exemption from warranty and an actual warranty given in writing?

 

and an agreed date of completion of works in writing?

this thread is about the good work the garage did on leighs car.

 

Not what they didnt do or should of done.

Best of luck to him provided he has adequete evidence to defend in such a circumstance

fairplay my bit said

Make sure you have free play on the clutch pedal, as legrath says about adjustment and also the cruise control switch has an adjuster on it for the pedal

make sure you have got the reciept and guarentee.

 

They did not count for anything in the past under Ryan, lets hope the new owners really mean business.

From what I hear he is trying to turn things around as he bought the business, and I don't think he is anything to do with the old regime, good luck to him :)

too true

guarentee not worth a toss

 

probably one of the lucky ones to come away happy

I wish them luck Mark, as you know these cars can either make a good reputation or bad one, they are so over engineered it can cause a host of problems when being worked on.
