they r good. period.

seriously...they tune cars well. one thing i learnt from them is that my spark plugs should not be .85 but 1mm or sumthing like that.

had them do my servicing three times n my car's running well. plus they installed all the mods n tuned my car. ask slip or abu53 how it goes.

why cant we go into details? is this the case? could someone explain to me why? correct me if im wrong, but this is a discussion forum for discussions right? is it because a business name is involved? we talk about getting bad batches of fuel from shell, bp or whatever, and no one seems to mind. they are actual experiences and not something we whipped out of our arses. rb26 speaks highly, i speak highly, and im sure many speak highly of chapmans, but if the people who have had bad experiences, can't share their experiences isnt the story a little one sided? we may as well all be making statements instead of asking questions and having a DISCUSSION! so please, for those that have had a bad/good experience, PLEASE DISCUSS!

rb26's car goes like a rocket, very smooth (except for the clutch)

Atomic, no no no. If we have ph and hungry6, part of SAU, posting on SAU forums saying negative things about a workshop, theres a whole lot of SAU in there. We do not want bad relations with workshops ESPECIALLY in this instance, where there are obviously a number of happy customers. We keep it in PM and email in this situation. You would be very unhappy if you were the workshop concerned, they probably have no idea about this thread, and therefore no chance to reply. If they did it would most likely get very messy if people less controlled than ph and hungry6 were involved. This has happened more than once in the past.

ph and hungry6 - thank you.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
