Let me guess, you didnt bother to go back to them or call them and give them the chance to resolve the problems?

Regarding your boost issue, obviously UAS had a concern about putting any more boost through your engine - would you have preferred them to just wind it up anyway and run the risk of possible engine damage? Come on

mate if you had got your car done with me and there was a problem i would hope you would bring it back so we could sort out the problem because if you didnt and then started talking shit about my workers they would track you down and give you some shit so you should watch what you say i sure john would have taken another look at it for you if you had of given him the chance

Hey everyone i wasnt trying to stir shit, just adding my opinion on a workshop. I did speak to john in person about the problem. I wasnt happy, he wasnt happy and i told him then and there that i would never recommend UAS to anyone. Im surprised a newb to your forums could cause such a fuss people. :P

That's right - it's most likely because of the fact that you are new to these forums that you've only received a caution.

Put it this way, if someone uses these forums to say something negative against a business, that business could sue the forum OWNER for defamation, and if that happens the forums may well be shut down as a consequence, and then we ALL suffer... We've built up a good community, and in many cases a new network of friends both online and outside in the real world - lets help it stay that way.

it doesn't really matter to me whether you were intentionally trying to stir shit or not. you posted up half a negative story and named a business. I've explained to you that it was against the rules. You either learn from this, or you do it again and I will come down on top of you like a 16 year old virgin on top of Angelina Jolie.

John being a business owner with a reputation that was hard earned and hard to protect has done the right thing and contacted you to see what your exact problem is. So if there is still some issue, then contact him back and resolve it. If not just accept it and move on. The very fact the he asked me to leave your (potentially damaging) comments on an open forum and actually wanted to resolve your problem should indicate to anyone that he owns a workshop worth using.

Anyway, let's all get past it shall we?

I don't have a problem with someone not recommending or warning others if genuine and preferably consistent poor service but not if exaggerated. Also if one person at a business as seems in this case a mechanic and years ago it seems then it does not mean that business is not good for ever more. I do not know who you are but I have sent a PM to Wateva to find out who and what and where years ago so I can at least see what happened or did not happen. Wateva you wonder why some are taking your post as aggressive or possibly over the top and not asked for anyway but rather where to go. If we were stealing form you or actually doing really bodgy work and did not want to do anything about it then different. It is so rare even though we do some very technical difficult work one can bank on some not understanding or taking things the wrong way or as mentioned can't be pleased. I can't comment on this case at all as I said I don't know who Wateva is or his car and years ago and probably a few thousand Skylines later. I know I always try and do the right thing by customer to the point where I regularly get handles but give customer the benefit of the doubt and warrant and cover costs I am sure few workshops would.

Tell us who you are or PM me with rego details and name and I look up what terrible thing we did.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
