1st Day of owner ship and problems! :(

[Oedipus Rex]

fair enough, I\'m gonna duck out anyhow because I don\'t want to cause friction here, in fact quite the opposite.

The only thing I\'ll say is that you only have his word that he\'s been treated shabbily and he could well have been but the truth is none of us except him and RE:Worx know the whole story, thats why I won\'t jump on anyones bandwagon.

Hairyhoover, I wish you all the best mate and I really hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction. If you make an official complaint the most important thing you can do is have an accurate record of what you said and paid to whom when. This will aid your case no end, the quicker you complained and the more you communicated with the supplier of the car the stronger case you will have. If in the end a registered car dealer supplied you with a car not fit for purpose then justice, I\'m sure, will be done.

One thing i find strange is most of the people posting about the workings of rotary engines and how long it should last, how recently it was rebuilt, the standard of rebuild, why it dies etc etc have no idea how they work!

I know i will probably get flamed for saying this but if your engine is built, it starts, runs, holds water/oil, doesnt over heat and new parts have been used, (which there is no complaint of that not being the case) then thats about it. They are very basic engines...............  unfortunately its everything else that causes the engine to die.    They are sensitive to fueling, water & oil temps, if its got good compression when it leaves the engine builder there is little they could have done to stop it losing compression for some other reason, and the same goes for detonation.  

An engine wont det on its own, its caused by one of the ancilleries.  Look how many brand new engines have blown on the rollers or within a few thousand miles!

not rounding up a posse just understand this guys frustration
i have had bad work done there and dont like to see others recive the same
and am only serving to highlight my personal experiences and then people can feel free to judge for themselves whether they agree or disagree
thats the nature of a forum differing opinion why is it as soon as someone disagrees on here the shout goes up to lock the thread or for people to keep quiet
i as a member have every right to post and reply to threads if another member doesnt like it that is their right as well
i support hairyhoover 100% in this as he has been shabilly treated and merely sought to highlight that he is not an isolated case
and if any non member doesnt like my posts then they can swivel or pay their fees and voice their opinion

Just about what I expected, swivel? what ever, Mr Hoover my offer is there if it helps, as for you well its a shame you cant resolve your problems without bleating all over the forum, glad you now have a fully functioning FD........or have you?
Think I will leave it there, dont need the agro, mr hoover the offer still stands.

[hairyhoover]

Mr John Yorke. You have mail.

[hairyhoover]

Mr John Yorke. You got mail.

[rx7veilside]

have opened a new thread and highlighting bad services or goods is not bleating merely informing others to avoid them getting shafted as well

[John Yorke]

Mr John Yorke. You got mail.

Darren I have replied.

ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD BY TRADE PROFESSIONALS, IT WILL NOT CARRY A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

That little bit on it\'s own will probably make the bloke from trading standards wet himself laughing.  Anyone with eventhe vaguest knowledge of ale of goods knows that, no matter what your small print says, you can\'t walk away from liability.

From what I\'ve read recently companies have been prosecuted for even writing this kind of attempted get-out.

No ammount of disclaiming can absolve the vendor of responsibility OR remove the rights of the purchaser.

I know i will probably get flamed for saying this.....

u didnt tony! lol i sense alot of anger from this thread..... and the from the new thread.. ne 1 for a calming cuppa

[Papercup]

was this car black, with black wheels? A \'Touring X\' with leccy sunroof?
 
i test drove that
 
lucky escape....

[hairyhoover]

it sure was!! wat made u not buy it then?

[Papercup]

I very nearly did.
 
I had looked at one before which was on standard twins which was OK, but past its best. Then i started thinking about what i wanted. I had originally thought of finding a really nice original and modding it. But i would only use it for spirited weekend driving, trackdays and going to the \'ring etc so i would need to heavily modify whatever i got; it would be a shame to do that to a nice original - i needed someone else\'s nicely modified one. I wanted a track car that i could use on the road.
 
With the cost of a single-turbo conversion running high already it made sense for me to get one that had already had the work done. I saw that one, drove it, but was unimpressed with the fact it hadn\'t seen a sponge in months. I did like it, and it made good power, but it wasn\'t fantastic and i did make th point that had someone bothered to clean it then it would have been much more impressive. it was that close!
 
Still, it was the best i\'d seen that would suit me. I spent a lot of time there with Geff who was really helpful and talked through all the options. We sat down and priced up coilovers, half-cage, harnesses, a big brake kit, etc etc and got up to my budget of around 10-11k. I then left with all that info on a sheet of paper and said i would definitely be in touch but i had to think about it. This was saturday afternoon.
 
I know what i am like, always in a hurry, always buy the first one....so i had promised myself that with RX-7s i would slow down and take my time and not get all excited and throw myself into the first good one i saw. That saved me, because a few years ago i would have just said yes after we\'d put all that effort in.
 
The next day i saw this: http://www.neweraimports.com/soldcarDetails.jsp?carId=291
 
Everything i wanted, done better than i could have done it myself. The phone number was wrong so I mailed him, mailed newera, mailed newera japan, called newera UK on the phone;i went mad until i got hold of the guy and the next week i drove to Coventry with £12000 in 50s in my pocket, and drove it home. It was as good in real life as it looked in that advert. It beat the hell out of everything i had seen.
 
How lucky was i to have found it? Another week and i\'d have bought your one. I really feel for you mate, it could very easily have been me.
 
I will say; it was made clear to me by Re:Worx that it wasn\'t their car and that they were selling it for someone. I do think you are after the wrong person; the original seller is liable if it blew on the way home; \'not fit for purpose\'. Just my two cents.

just to make things more confusing i almost bought yours! i wanted it bigtime but suprisingly i bought mine owned it for a few months at least before you bought it which was wierd, i could tell that it was alot of money for the market but i have alot of respect for newera.

saw it in person at north wield too!! just didnt get a chance to chat, very sorted car. just unfortunate for hairy to be in this mess!

[ro284]
