no offence but have you checked with Ben?

it's not a Dyno day - I don't think it's fair that a mob come down to "check it out!!"

it's a business after all (and a good one at that)

just to look at the car thats all not to look when they are doing the tune though. thats wat i mean and get together to see everyone elses cos i missed the cruise the other day. I know Alex will come down since hes in the area and some other guys in the area as well

:nyaanyaa:

But seriously, if you can't see how this may not be in the business owner's interests, then that's fine.

A lot of guys have their car worked on by Racepace, I for one try to stay out of Ben's way because he is so busy.

OK so it's not my shop but if you put yourself in the the business' shoes, they may not feel it is appropriate for people who don't own cars in the shop to wander in.

In this age of litigation, a well run mechanical workshop will not allow any non-workers into the shop because of the high risk for potential injury and subsequent legal action.

That's fine if you disagree munch, but business is business... how many of these so-called tuner shops have been and gone, that are more of a 'fast & furious' garage where everyone is mates, then BANG 3 months go by and they've become insolvent.

I think I'm done here.

just to look at the car thats all not to look when they are doing the tune though. thats wat i mean and get together to see everyone elses cos i missed the cruise the other day. I know Alex will come down since hes in the area and some other guys in the area as well

yeah mate i know Alex is close to there... maybe i misunderstood your initial post.

like i said, not having a go, but just trying to give you the heads-up that's all.

Ben is a great operator - it will run well once it's done - good luck!

Actually Ronin has a valid point.

Ben will most probably not appreciate people coming into his w/shop, just to meet eachother and look at cars. It is a place of business and he is a VERY busy person. If people are genuine about getting work done by him, i'm sure he will be very helpful, but to use his business as a meeting place, without his permission is really silly.

Just because you are paying to do a job, does not entitle you to organise meets during working hours. I'm sure you would feel the same at your place of employment :/ .

who says they are all planning on being in the workshop?

they want to catch up and have a chat to other stagea owners about all things stagea...which doesnt involve strolling straight into the workshop and getting in the way of staff.

ok guys perhaps i should rephrase. catching up after the tune right outside the workshop and not intefering with the mans job or business.

Meet atthe curbside its fine thats what i meant anyways. soz for the misunderstanding. I dont mean to invade Ben's workshop but meet up with other stagea owners (if the want to come) and chit chat outside the workshop outta of Ben's way of course. Clear guys?! Dont start on me now :/

no offence taken :D

Understand your point 100% and you are dead right. These are not the type of guys that would be hanging in the workshop (someone elses) but you're not to know that... Only reason Yudy made the call was that he lives a couple of hundred clicks out of town (and OS mostly of late) and does't get much chance to see, let alone chat to (in person) another Stagea owner. He can't very well drop the car off and head home, so that's where he will be until the job is done by the sounds of it.

I hope the boys can catch up as I know I won't be able to be there.

Cheers FFS

Yeah Yudy's typing skills are in need of some practise.

Anyway, it's not like it is going to be a mob, and it is not like they are going to be going into the workshop at all, and at no point was this ever implied.

Now you guys go have a beer for me when you get together :) I hope Yudy's english skills are better then his typing :P

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
