I guy on these forums contacted me as I was looking for a bonnet for a stagea said he one but was interstate.

I sorted everything out with him price and postage. Then direct deposited the money and now the guy has vanished. Kept saying he was busy he will get to it. Now wont answer my calls won't respond to msgs. Added him on Facebook contacted him that way. Then he deleted me.

The guy on here's name is TANGENTS.

I have his full name and address but don't think it's right. To disclose that just yet.

All I want is the bonnet or my cash back.

where in nsw, if he is close to me i will kindly knock on his door for you :domokun:

Please tell me you plan on making him pay up with q little stick just like that emocon.

On another note sux to hear about people ripping people off on here, but as said above im sure some nsw members would be willing to do a house call

Administrators please pull this down if further action is needed I am happy to go to the appropriate people but I will let this stand another couple of weeks. out of benefit of the doubt. Cheers for everyone's offers. Just thought people should know.

Internet forums contain the full spectrum of people; it's inevitable that bad things will happen, and it's naive to think that everyone is trustworthy.

Given this was resolved with a successful outcome; perhaps it would be an idea to edit the title of this thread, or even lock it; so that it doesn't keep arriving at the top of the page with a negative spin on Tangents trustworthiness.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
