yeah i wouldn't mind a PM of who it was as well cos i've had some dodgy work done on my car in the last 3 months. I've had an engine being built for the last 12 months. Things pop up that take time to sort out. Being a race engine builder means they probably race cars so that takes up a bit of time too... I just hope they don't forget who the engine belongs to and i end up getting it!!! lol

Sorry. Didn't mean to intrude in that way, I was just commenting generally on the paranoia associated with this subject.

Also, I come from Melbourne, still spend time there and would like to move back if I can secure a well paid enough job.

Also, I am a Barrister's Clerk so I am not speaking completely out of my arse.

Also, I stand by what I said.

Shinsei, PM me with the details also please.

Since this was supplied with all the bits, there is no reason 3 weeks wasn't achievable, the machining taking the most time of a week. Workshops are just being stupid or greedy if they take work they can't complete, but just send the name of the place to those interested as some of these tuning shops have plenty of groupies, regardless of the fact they are often allowing themselves to be yanked about and paying for the privelege. I may be a bit tough, but I learnt it managing multi mill contracts, and there are nio friends in business, so I establish a reasonable time frame with the supplier and apply penalty rates if the work is not completed on time (unless an agreed extension has been awarded due to circumstance). Penalty rates (loss of final payable bill amount) buys some pretty good communication, believe me, or the slack places see the writing on the wall and won't take the work. Either way they are exposed and the customer is protected.

I've done a lot of engine rebuilds, usually in larger well managed factory workshops (Toyota), and they lose customers if they take too long so I can see the farce when a place offers to do it in the reasonable time frame and then takes 4 times longer to complete.

I'm siding with Bob on the legality issues, but there is no reason to plaster the name everywhere. The interested people will ask.

has anyone actually found out or is this guy just posting shit to cause trouble? if so close this thread.

His not posting shit , i can vouch for that , the really screwed up his car.

I guess he just dosent want to cause anything political , just need advice.

Are u trying to cause any by posting this???

Nothing political is going to arise from a post like this unless its posted in the thread who it was... PMing people isnt going to cause an issue.

Its called an obvious observation and being around this club and many other forums these types of threads generally are raised to cause shit which is why the obvious question was raised.

Asking for a name of a place and not receiving an answer also makes it a little more suspicious... so no i am not.

Have u tried sending him a pm and asking him personally?? It might just help by doing that.

well u know too? why cant u? thats not the point... im not here to argue but if u do like that i can recommend a couple of forums where the whole idea is to waste time and show how every post is a waste of time...

I pm'd him but I didn't get a clear answer, this is the reply I got from him. When I asked which workshop it was.

Uhmm who did you send your car to? Was it *BLANK*?

if u want to know the place he mentioned pm me...

pm sent
