Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

The only person who knows what is going on is Sean. At the end of the day, he is a great tuner and hence why we have him on as a sponsor. He has a great deal of knowledge with these motors and also has a number of supporters. A lot of the people that use him speak greatly of what he does. However, not everyone uses him and anyone that has either built a car or required a major re-tune will tell you that these things take a lot of time.

I can appreciate that it is difficult from your end as you just want your car back. Although it's been 3 weeks since you delivered it to Sean, there has been a few things that have come up in that time.

1) the fuel pump

2) he fell ill for a week

3) Jambo - a massive marketing opportunity for him that probably results in a lot of revenue for his business

4) the ECU

The added difficulty is when you have people who haven't built a car before asking why it hasn't been done yet. You've got a brand new engine which is worth some decent coin along with some very nice go-fast bits, you don't want this rushed and botched.

My 2c, speak to Sean and try and maintain a positive frame of mind. :) I know that it isn't easy, but that's what you need to do.

Bunta and Colin had theirs tuned there and they were both quite nice and white and 32s and GT-Rs.... Creepy :P

Tony, hiscar has been there 6 weeks, not 3

My bad! Misread that as September. Either way, the best thing to do would be to discuss it with Sean in person. At this stage, other people asking questions could simply aggravate the situation.

Definitely my bad though!

Indeed :verymad:

exactly. It really makes u think how twice how they do business.........No such thing as good business ethics within this industry

There is you just have to get a mechanic that won't lie to you

Like... GST or total revenue, or Director's salary right? ;)

no. only if the transaction(s) in question is = or > 5% of the benchmark and also if the item is material by nature.........

majority of publicly and non-publicly listed corporations don't like it either.

Lucky for them I'm not an auditor........

LOL! Damn accountants following legislation. My accountant is also like that.

So martins car is back from the auto elecies.

Hopefully Tomorrow Jamie will give him a call and discuss what is being done and give him a quote, if we don't have a flat out day still have cars left over from Monday :/ why do hilux's have to be so crap

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
