How much would...?

[lee mills]

Why dont you make him wait for payment the same amount of time as youve waited for the car? Really niggles me when tuners do this imo it shows a neglect for customers needs/wants and gives a negative opinion for outsiders towars the rotary:2Mad:2Mad:2Mad

I\'m sure Pete or myself could help you with the brake upgrade - what you having done ?
 
Is it pads/discs or you going for uprated calipers ?
 
Welding isn\'t a skill I have, so can\'t help you with the battery box and mounts, but I could probably wire it for you.
 
Did you discuss any deadlines or timescales with James ?  If there was an agreed time then it\'s bad if it\'s been slipped - particularly if it\'s happened a lot, but if you\'ve had a \'floating\' agreement then you\'ve less leverage.

Liam, stop arsing about and just get it on the road, dude. No way are we gonna let you get away with walking away and breaking it now :Hammer. Get it on the road, and running in and forget about all the unecessary stuff like roll cages and whatnot, you can get them done later once you\'ve rediscovered the luurrrrrve for the car :InLove. Preferably done somewhere else.....

....got mine started after three months stood idle and even driving round the block off-boost reminded me why we love these cars  . You drive it, you keep it :yes

disks and pad. we agreed 3-4 months since he had the car then it keeps getting extended due to probs.

i guess i can live without putting cage in now, brakes.. i\'m sure prof will be nice enough to help me or m1tch (more local than pete), good thing to learn also (else if that fails then i\'ll just be their tea boy n supply some munchies) thanks in advance
some re-wiring is needed (mainly to tidy up some mess) which i can do (im not completely useless! lol)
its more the bodywork i\'m worried about i guess.
door trim and couple of holes have appeared where the stock spoiler bolts to the body.

Right, "on a mission" as long as it starts by mon eve, get him to sort out bodywork then feck the cage n brakes. job done, pick up car and see what happens.
:Thumbsup!

That\'s the spirit

I have a pair of front Black Diamond discs in excellent condition and I can find a set of pads to go in them. Just upgrade to FD calipers for the front and theres not much else you can do for the rears anyway.
I dont think JM Garage have done themselves any favours in the length of time taken to complete even the simplist of tasks, cant see them being in business for long at this rate.
Just let us know how we can help you out and we\'ll get you on the road.

I think a mod should change the title of this thread to "Group hug for Liam!"

[grinder]

its certainly getting that way

[McCARTHY]

Righty then only just seem this thread!

I can admit that this car has taken far too long for that there is only myself to blame and i\'m holding my hands up and apologising again on that front.

However (and this is not justification for the time taken):

the project has been: full rebuild, large street ports, fitting turbo kit, custom down pipe and re-circ wastegate, one off custom v-mount fabricated in house. This required some structure alteration at the front end of the car, relocation of oil cooler, fuel pump, pressure reg, fitting AP Power FC, full respay.

Now there where a few weeks lost last month with no ability to get into the workshop so obviously nothing could be done there. Some weeks where lost unfortunatly due to discussions and decisions about custom inlet manifolds, can we fd fit, can we make the RE versions fit. These types of delays are only natural in these types of projects. Again let me add these or not justifications to the long time.

I do however think its worth me mentioning that i have done all the work at hugely discounted costs and thrown some trinkits for free. So at times yes it has had to take a back seat. I do resent the comment that "jack is happening". But i\'m hoping in past days we have moved past this.

The car is now pretty much finished aside from a fuel pump issue a dam good clean.

As above i\'m happy to hold my hands up apologise for the delay and admit its not on that its taken as long as it has and i\'m hoping that Liam will be reunited with his beatsy in the next few days as i\'m doing nothing else until the last few remaining issues are sorted and the car back with him.

[papercutout]

^^ Glad it\'s getting sorted.

At least you\'re admitting that it\'s at least partially your own fault for the mega delays - that\'s a big step. Not really wanting to be critical or put you down as I don\'t know you buuut:

If it gets to the stage someone feels they need to post up on a forum saying how long it is taking, and gets others offering to help - maybe you need to revise your work strategy? (note I\'m not criticising the quality of the work you do).


I admit that the above doesn\'t always apply - there\'re a lot of total ....s out there who\'re impatient and complain at the slightest thing, but I\'ve seen nothing to imply Liam is like that.

I want to be helpful, not make you feel bad dude, so well done for getting on it and sorting the last few things quickly!

i\'m not sure whether to comment further to james response or not, as this wasn\'t the reason for this thread and i dont want it to turnout just ra ra ra at each other but as long as everything moves swiftly on and progress was as fast as it was on sat, then i\'ll just be happy to get it back within the next few days.

everyone said rotaries are fun when they work but a headache when they dont. atm i\'m just getting lots of headache for no fun.

[pdtaylor18]

No pain, no gain !!

Hey Liam, I don\'t think there is any cause for ra ra ra. Think we both undertand where the car is and whats happening. I do understand that this wasn\'t why the thread was started so i\'m not having a pop at all. I just wanted to underline that i\'m on it and its getting do just as a responce to the negitivity mentioned in earlier posts.

I\'ll give you a call later let you know how we\'re moving on.
