Just recently i got my car regency defected by a motorbike cop, who are the worse to deal with, i guess they needed to fill their quota. Anyway i took my car to ***EDITED PM ME FOR DETAILS*** to get a defect package done plus a little work, FMIC, boost controller, duno tune and some general repairs. Now i know a few guys swear by them and i don't want to step on any toes and have brilliant dealings with them in the past.

They got it cleared through regency (bill was several thousand) but i ran into a few problems the day i picked it up. The car was slower than before i took it there and got slower as the days went by. It turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. I got that fixed and ran very well, only for it to break down at 5.30 in the morning. Smoke out the bonnet.

The entire wiring loom from battery to firewall completely melted. To make matters worse some F*** kicked in the back quarter and going to cost 2g to get it panel beated, bastards. The side skirt they 'repaired' and stuck with silicone, which expands under heat, has come off looking quite ugly. At ****** they snobbed me off and tried telling me that the standard motor wasn't designed to revv and the standard turbo was why it was so slow. Being dyno tuned, I would of thought thay would of picked up any problems.

Felt that since i am young they didn't know what i was talking about but i was a large walking pinata. Like i said before, don't want to upset anyone but becarefull who you take your baby too.

hence why I don't let any workshops touch my car - except Donnon to tune it.

I have been financially hit by pretty much every big name performance workshop in the North-eastern area when I was green and modified my S15.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
