1st Day of owner ship and problems! :(

[mullins]

So you\'ll know if the newera engine in question was swapped then John?

[rx7veilside]

john the guy didnt even make it home from picking the car up got to admit anyone wld be a bit ****ed off at that point and then offered 250.00 pounds off a rebuild that a kick in the nuts
i know u are a good friend and supporter of re worx thats fine as you have good experiences from there
but what about the rest of us that have not
newera are not some fly by night importer and are responsible for a huge no of the cars in this country so for them to post it must have taken a lot
others have had this same issue and been dismissed with some story or another
and the reason for advertisers withdrawing is more to do with costs
most are well known now and feel they dont need to advertise except carl who advertises not really for work but to support this club
he could easilly get by with word of mouth and i dont remember seeing anyone posting about bad experiences with hayward rotary
what happened with my car is fact not fiction
built and maintained since before my ownership never abused and never run more than 1.1bar with full supporting mods fitted at re-worx
i allways found geff very helpfull but when u have spent a lot of money on your car u expect it to at least longer than 6 months
a correctly rebuilt car should have no reason to have problems for at least 30-40000 miles
if u have a monster power car then fine life expectancy is less but 1-1.1 bar is not is excessive boost territory

Oh dear oh dear, same story same people creating myths and ledgands, how come it takes over 2 months and a fair number of miles for all these \'tips\' to let go, anyone checked the condition of the ancillaries, what was the \'condition of sale\'?
Same old witch hunt as far as I can see, seems engine builders are responsable for the condition of everything else, who\'s to say the car has not run on ordinary unleaded? whos to say the boost has not been wound up???
These posts are far to common on this forum, anyone else in the engine building industry want to try thier luck? A thankless task as I see it, all you will do is drive the tuners away from here, have a look at how many have stopped advertising in the last 6 months all you will end up with are people only interested telling how how bad thier experiences have been with nothing positive to help the newbeeys.

On the subject of Newera\'s sticky, as I see it Miguel was a 3rd party at the point of sale, the guy that paid for the import never saw the car, the new owner bought it off the internet and collected the car from Portsmouth, where I personaly saw the car the day before collection and it was a stunner, what happened after that is anyones guess?

Responsable admin would have locked this thread untill the parties involved had a chance to resolve the issues raised, instead everyone goes off half cocked bashing the builder, in my eyes it sucks.
Rant over

John understand what you are saying but ReWoex have had time to answer both threads and have not bothered ??

Anyones guess why tbh, they might not think its worth answering or haven\'t seen the threads or simply dont have an answer ??

If the engine was rebuild by ReWorx and it failed then surely they should have a look to see what the issue was ?

The ebay ad read as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD BY TRADE PROFESSIONALS, IT WILL NOT CARRY A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
 
A rare opportunity indeed,
 
Not really requiring an introduction, this is a fine example of Mazdas rotary supercar, a 1992 mazda rx7 touring x model, including a full leather interior with electric tilt and slide sunroof.
 
The car has been modified to produce a reliable and very respectable 300 rear wheel horse power, but, definetly more importantly, it has been maintained by RX7 specialists throughout its time in the UK. RX motors and RE-WORX are specialists in RX-7 Care and modification, and this lucky car has been close friends to both.
 
Although the car may have a higher mileage than others of a similar age, this Touring X is in superb condition for its age, a mature owner coupled with a recent service and rebuild by RE-WORX will almost guarantee this car will outlast models with less than than half the mileage, trust me, I know from experience!
 
Below is some of the work that has been carried out:
 
T61 single turbo on custom manifold
3" exhaust with Feed back Box
Custom Front mount intercooler and Radiator setup
Mild ported engine by RE-WORX
uprated injectors and fuel pump
Koni dampers on lowered springs
18" wheels
Making 300rwhp, dyno sheet provided
rebuilt 18 months ago by RE-WORX, only 10000miles on engine
just serviced etc long mot and taxed
 
I thoroughly recommend a viewing and test drive to fully appreciate the performance this car has to offer. Whereas many RX7\'s are advertised with wildly over exaggerated BHP figures, this car with a dyno proven 300rwhp will live up to all your expectations and beyond.
 
I\'m well known on Ebay for selling well described good value cars, and would invite you to check my feedback and previous auctions. For this particular auction I have teamed up with RE-WORX, (who incidentally look after my own RX-7) to sell this car on their behalf. We both hope that we can give the potential buyers of this car the confidence to make a serious bid. We are both professionals and treat every ebay auction as seriously as any other transaction.
 
The car is currently loctated at the RE-WORX workshops for both inspection and test drives.
 
call 02392 698100 or visit //www.reworx.com to see the kind of quality you\'ll be dealing with.
 
I can also be contacted to answer any questions about RX-7 ownership or anything else about this car on 0779 3824396
 
Im also reachable at work on t.ogden@clarioncars.co.uk or via my website //www.clarioncars.co.uk (9am-6pm)
 
This vehicle is also advertised ouside of this auction, and I have the right to remove it without prior notice and cancel any bids.
 
A paypal deposit will be required by the auction winner of 10% of the winning total on ending, the balance must then be payed and collection made within 14 days
 
Happy Bidding
 
UPDATE TO BIDDERS
 
I will be unable to answer any emails from the 14/2 to 16/2 but will be reachable on my mobile, any emails sent will be replied to on the 17/2 when i\'m back in the office
 
Thanks
 
Tom

Sounds a great ad and look what he got instead ??

[Red and Single]

For once, I find myself in agreement with John :eek

ReWorx, like most any other decent company have many many happy customers and a few unhappy ones. Thats life, you can\'t please all the people all the time.

Especially with something as complicated as vehicle repair and maintenance, it\'s just never going to be straightfroward, I understand cars and I understand this fact. Many do not.

Sadly the unhappy ones will always shout the loudest and their situations will be remembered by all.

I feel a post or two from ReWorx to clarify the situation would be of GREAT benefit to their image within this community.

The "Right to remain silent" approach just sends all the wrong signals.

[oldone]

Seems all the flies are around the jam pot now.......:guinness This is going to get exciting in a mo.......:rolleyes:

[hairyhoover]

Yeh... lets not start this off please!!! I just wanted advise of the best way of approaching it.
to be questioned myself or for reworx to be slated. I just want to to disscus this situation is isolation.

[johnf]

Lets try to get this back on topic - as above the guy is seeking advice as from now.

Not who did what to whom but what options are left open to him NOW.

So lets stop the bashing and try to offer help.

or nearly to the end of the journey home as the case maybe:rollin :rollin
another stuffed customer

the talk of locking threads is all wrong if someone recieves bad goods or services they are entitled to post it up and this poor guy has tried to sort it out amicably and been offered a paltry 250.00 labour discount as a further slap in the face
there has been a lot of slithering on this one with re-worx/orig owner and the ebay seller all saying sorry nothing to do with me and leaving him with a duff motor..this sucks bad

[RobMatthews]

did i not hear or read somewhere that with a normal compression tester that "bit you screw in place of the sparkplug"-dont know proper name! is too long and protrudes into the engine too far or something?

[kev-yorks]

Lets keep this on track please Guys. Hairy don\'t worry you asked for advise its not your fault if a few want to join in. So the rest of you please advise to hairy only!
John whilst its gone of track as per usual there is no reason that i can see to close or censor the thread at the moment whilst ever people keep civil. We\'ll only be accused of pandering to advertisers or ex advertisers as usual if we do. What i would say is if you\'ve a grudge or praise about any company then start your own thread and keep this one on track please.
Regards Kevin

i spoke to reworx about this ... and they said the only way you can use a piston engine comp testers is if you remove the one way valve in the gauge but then the needle doesnt hold, so you have to keep a close eye on the needle. I have never tried it though.

Mr RX Veilside,
I dont think we have met, reading this thread, you seem to be using it to grind your own axe, not very productive to this guys cause, I could expound my experiences with quite a number of tuners on this site, I chose not to maybe you should do the same.
I go back to my original suggestion, speek to those involved, if you have just cause after talking with parties involved THEN post your findings, all you are doing now is stoking the flames.
Gurg
If you were in REworx\'s [or any other vendor that is associated with this forum] that had an ongoing dispute with ANY of you guys would you be hanging out your dirty laundry?
No vendor in thier right mind would put themselves in this position willingly, and I can fully understand why they refuse to answer onesided accusations, I have no need to defend REworx, I have no affiliation to them, I have my own opinions and I feel a fair sence of justice,but, sorry this is just a witch hunt, If it helps mail me mr hoover and I will try and mediate.
john.yorke@blueyonder.co.uk
Delete my mail if you wish, Im just trying to help.

Fair comments John no probs, thats why i said perhaps ReWorx have seen the thread and simply dont wanna reply. :King

[Oedipus Rex]

sorry if I\'m taking this more off here but here goes anyhow.

John, earlier I said I agreed with you and thought this thread should be locked and dealt with without everyone shoving their penny\'s worth in and I agree, however there needs to be a space where people can air their views and experiences with tuners and this is as good as any. To say that peple should not expound their experiences with tuners / engineers is just as unproductive as everyone jumping on the bandwagon.

RX7 Veilside, if you have a problem with RE:Worx that you cannot resolve with them you should dtart a thread and in an objective and calm way put your side of the story and give RE:Worx the chance to put theirs, if they choose not to respond that is their prerogative, at least you will have done what you feel is right. You shouldn\' however use this guys experience as a forum to get people together to gang up on RE:Worx, offer advice and help but don\'t try and rtound up a posse.

Finally John, you say you understand why RE:Worx refuse to answer onesided accusations, they will only be one sided as long as RE:Worx refuse to add their input, then it will be two sided and people can get a more balanced view.

I can\'t help but feel their refusal to comment or get involved does them more harm than good and is damaging to their business. However I fully accept it is their business and their right to choose to do whatever they wish.

[rx7veilside]

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
