Everythings undercover, weighted down or in the garage :)

Crap weather in Ayrshire today, Dull and covered in clouds with a constant misty rain.

Lee Dent has been given a permanent Ban for misrepresenting his business and self to the club member base. Full committee announcement will be given separately.

You're gonna get a ban before lee does, :)

Lee has plenty of opportunity to respond and this thread being in public domain is open for him to do so. I'm sure Lee has many customers who are lucky to never have any issues and even though I've personally has an issue I can also say that Lee went out his way for me too and fixed my mother in-laws car when it broke down on the way to Lee's. Unfortunately; the Bad stuff tends to stick in peoples minds more than the good. My issue happened over two years ago and I dismissed it and never even knew the extent until last month. I actually posted about it over a month ago but I did not name names and insurance settled and there was no benefit in doing anything.

Not to forget Ian Smith (300zx_666) At the time (two years ago) Lee said that Ian owed him over 2k for work been done on Ians zeds. Lee held both Ians zeds to ransom and chatting to Ian yesterday they were never returned and far as he is aware have now been broken or sold.

Hi Tom, His time has come and now its on the open forum I'm sure many more will come forward with stories. I have the unfortunate experience much like yourself to have directly suffered abet indirectly by the hands of Lee Dent. Three years ago near the end of my last zed build named Purple Rain; Mr Dent rebuilt and engine for me in which I then installed in my shiny new zed, less than a month on the road the engine seized up on the way to its first show at the NEC. Now i'm not sure if this was fate or not but that broken down Zed within 20 minutes of breaking down was struck by a large semi-trailer which carved a whole bigger than the iceberg that hit the Titanic down the driver side. Luckily my insurance paid out the full valuation and I've started my rebuild once more. Now just last month I decided to break that very engine with the purpose of moving it out my garden rather than being a feature and I finally discovered that the failure was caused by what I would call an exploded piston because I found it in shrapnel sized pieces and jammed up inside. The second item that concerned me was the gaskets or what was left of them were not of the brand I gave him. I've hinted a few times about this over the last few months but as I got a big insurance pay out and my new build is to a higher quality it didn't bother me too much, - I am pissed but its been nearly three years since the event that took my zed away.

Its always the case of your the last one to get a parking space and squeeze into a space and later everyone buggers off and make you look like a **** who can't park.

LOL, I'll let him off but I hate when people take up two parking spaces.:2guns:

Is that from google maps ?

his 300zx email should be sorted now, gremlins have been put down :)

Hi Ashley, Welcome to the club, it was myself who replied on facebook. You will hopefully get a much better response on here and i'm sure our member base in that area would be up for a convoy.

Must be a short touching the damp ceiling. Luckily you never fell through the ceiling after the jolt you got.

Bottom end is perfect, I have an issue with a snapped bolt on the upper right cam head. And for some reason the last two caps when torqued jam up the cam shaft. Unfortunate chain of events and moving of the parts from the work yard to my house a few things got mixed up.

Idiots like this ;

Likely too many of the purple pills at his age. Hopefully he went peacefully and with a smile on his face.

Few more hours on the engine yesterday and its def gubbed :( Removed all the lifters and slowly torqued the caps one at a time in a slightly different order and I have managed to get them free enough on one side and smooth turning by hand. But disaster struck on the right cylinder after a bolt snapped in the head when trying to remove it. I don't 100% trust these heads now as issues with the caps and now a busted bolt. So after another full set and hopefully SandyZ can assist me with his spares.

You closed the thread on your last reply. I checked the logs, your guilty as hell. :)

Come on guys get the votes in. If only to bruise FunkySi's ego by making him seconds place. :tt2:

reopened. BigH's fault :)

Poll now open :)
