its obviously been done for a reason. before you all jump on your bandwagons, there is another side to this story obviously as its harder to do what was done than just replace with the existing sump plug. as for fark ups...I'd like to see any one here who hasnt farked something up before.

That's just not good enough, if it was done for a reason why wasn't the owner made a aware of it???

If there was something wrong with the sump plug and they couldn't get it back on they shouldn't have given the car back until it was correctly repaired/replaced.

Yeah your right we all make mistakes but this my friend is not a mistake, it's pure stupidity and not professional.

the point was shit happens and it doesnt necessarily mean the people at that workshop are no good and as such we shouldnt be bagging them considering we have no idea what really happened. Its fruitless debating potentioal scenarios to a situtaion you nor I have not been involved with. That being said I have never seen anything like that before and if that hapened to me i would be quite pissed to say the least.

But at least we know what to do when we loose a sump plug LOL

How are your NGK shares doing currently mate............... :laugh:

You said you went in there for idle issues, have these been fixed? Check your spark plugs, maybe there you will find your sump plug.

Hey if its idling fine now maybe the old 'swap the sump plug with the spark plug on cylinder 2' trick fixed it up.

:laugh:

yea shit happens, but you wouldnt want it to when your spending hard earned money

i reckon, they were putting it back together and doing a test of something, and couldnt find the actual sump plug, jsut for the time beig shoved that in.. then forgot about it

Sorry but theres just no excuse for that.Worse case scenario if he stripped the thread..at least let the customer know about it.or lost the sump plug..order a replacement...thats just seriously botched up...IF you make a mistake the first time then fix it and get it right the 2nd time,....no excuse for this

Bill for mechanical repair.

.5 hours labour to fix PFC Idle problem @ $90 p/h

5 litres Motul oil $100

7 new spark plugs $120

hang on a moment. 7 spark plugs??? where does the 7th one go? ahh I see.

My only fear is if in fact they did just forget to replace the spark plug with a sump plug then I hope they didn't forget to put oil in it too... I would be checking things over pretty thoroughly before doing anything else.

thats not a fark up, thats pure 100% dodgy and lazy. if they threaded the plug pulling it out ot something along those lines that is more definatly not the way to fix a fark up as far as im concerned. thats a horrable attempt at trying to cover up their stuff up.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
