We had little control over that as we aren't the ones doing the machining.

Myself, working in an industry that subcontracts jobs to other parites, I see this kind of delay all the time. Your business is only as good as your weakest link (so to speak) perhaps it's time to think about what other parties your business associates with and possibly find more reliable ones.

It's sad that it comes to stuff like this, but when a customer is paying for service and not getting it, they get upset.

There's 934893489 shops out there, all of them have bad stories, and all of them have good stories (which far outweigh the bad)

Pro tip: Take every story with a pinch of salt and make up your own mind. :D

... you spend too much time on the internet and get too many different opinions which  makes it hard to then have a clear view of what you wish to achieve.

how can this be a thread without my two cents?!

ken, having dealt with your workshop, I can honestly say that you guys run a top notch organisation and that it's obviously just keyboard warriors who get their periods and don't understand how the world works who then decide to do something stupid like post some ignorant blubberish crap like we've seen at the beginning of this thread. I think Ken's quote above sums it up. Too much time on the internet (probably whinging that Jabba the Hut is the wrong shade of green since the digital edit of Ep5).

if you have a problem with a workshop, resolve it with them, don't try to ruin their reputation.

on an interesting side note, it's not too often people dish out complements, but it's far too regular that they dish out complaints.

Well from ur sig you used to go to SST - so really you didnt set the bar to high. :)

Ken is a champ - I'm not commenting on his shop or their work because i have never used them. My post was my opinion and had nothing to do with Ken.

I only went to SST for dyno comps and Hyperdrive for actual work :)

My comments were based on my opinion of Ken as a person and as the manager of a workshop :)

Don't make me come and slap you Dan ;) hahaha

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
