Okay I'll ask in this thread rather than start a new one as we are in need of some further advice

Situation so far is Paul is overseas and not returning texts or calls

I went to his house earlier tonight and his daughter and her boyfriend are staying there at the moment

The boyfriend Bryiden ( or something like that ) was helpful in so far as he indicated that Paul will be back shortly but not sure as to when

He was unable or unwilling to open the garage saying it was locked and the side door had swollen shut due to the rain we have had. The boyfriend is going to try and contact Paul and I left him my number to let me know any outcomes

Now what I need to know is if I can take the police with me to gain access and retrieve my parts as well as those of Cameron's or is it more of a matter for the Sherriff?

I don't want to go about this the wrong way as I don't want to end up in trouble with the law.

Also want to know if anyone else has parts that they are owed can you please post in here with a description or PM as I will gain entry to the garage and I can see what is there and retrieve anything I can for myself and others

After speaking to Cameron earlier it is sounding like if we don't get our stuff now or in the very near future it will be gone for good

So any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Martin

I prob would wait till Paul gets back to you, and if the boyfriend doesn't get back to you, I'd just keep going there an bugging them until he does, surly he will be able to get a hold of him.

I wouldn't be going into anyone's garage to take back, your or anyone else's parts.

How would u feel if someone went into your garage, going though your sht and everyone else's.

In saying that I'm not defending Paul, I've had my own issues with him. Which are similar to yours, and it did my head in.

But I just don't think going into the garage is the right thing.

You would need some sort of police warrant to go there smash down the door and get your gear back, the police would have to do it all, and you would need to supply proof that, you haven't paid for Paul's services, and that you own everything you plan to take.

Hassle the boyfriend, get into contact with Paul. When his back, hassle the fark out of him. Once you get your sht back, never use him again.

Simple

Go and talk to the Police about the ramifications of reporting it stolen, as they are not going to do anything unless that happens - see what they say as essentially that is what has occurred.

Not planning to smash my way in but as I see it I am entitled to retrieve my parts with the home occupiers permission

I have proof of ownership for my parts so he way I see it is I own them I'm taking them with me

I did here back from the boyfriend and there may be a simple outcome to this yet

And yes i would be very pissed off if someone came into my garage and went through stuff

However in saying that it would never happen as I would never take any sort of work on without being able to complete said work, or in short I would never let myself get into that sort of position.

Having just re read m post yes it is over the top to take anyone else's parts however I can still have a look to see what is there if someone is owed. Was more of a trying to help others thing but might just leave that alone for now

FWIW no one else has come forward so it must only be myself and Cameron who are chasing our stuff

I had not thought of doing that

Only spoke to them about entry etc

Will call them and ask as it may have to come to that

Glad you re-phrased, sounded like you were going to reclaim anything you can, which could be another unfortunate customers parts like yourself. That would be painful.

Not everyone would of read this thread to inbox you.

Don't you have a engine being built by Paul aswell..? How it that progressing.?

Well I've been sent a couple of pictures of my things - Looks like "most" of the parts are there. Hoping m.j.h can locate the missing items tomorrow evening!

Ill ring you when I'm there and you can tell me what is yours

If you have pics they must have got the garage open so this is a good start

Good News, well semi good news!

I should have the engine back in my possession tomorrow or Monday at the latest TNT were booked to pickup the pallet this afternoon! Fingers Crossed.

So far the missing parts tally stands at

2 x Sets of Rings

1 x Set of Bearings

Set of ARP Head Studs

Misc Nuts and bolts.

I hope this is all... Will know more when the Pallet arrives and hopefully Paul picks up his phone.... Until now his phone just rings out.

Thanks again to M.J.H for his assistance on this matter, Let hope you get all your parts located also!

Cheers

Cameron

Well Engine Arrived as safe as can be expected.

Missing parts list now includes:

1 x HKS Intake Cam Gear

Custom Modified CAS

So If anyone knows anyone selling any of the above I'll need to replace everything that's missing.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
