Drop car off somewhere for some simple stuff done, wait a week, call to see how its going, get epically disinterested response. Gotta love Melbourne mechanics.

When did they say it was done?

Which workshop?

Say youlll take it else where

ive got into the habit of waiting 1.5-2 weeks before dropping by to check it out. much more awkward when you're there in person. But i havent been to any/many workshops who start work within a few days. I think they just take the car when there is room/when it suits customer, not so much when theyre available to start work.

its best not to be a difficult customer i think... if theyre tied up with another job being a PITA, thats just what happens.

Yeah, I won't be a troublesome customer, I typically am not and pretty chill given experiences in the past. (all nightmarish)

Just annoying if you call a month in advance, deliberately holding off until someone will be available to work on it ;)

Still having issues with your car Greg?

Or it's just a 'maintenance'?

You're doing it all wrong... Backyard mechanics are the go. Bring it down here. :P

It's niggly things that require welding, (sender units for gauges), and wiring etc. Map sensor, Wideband controllers, maybe some dyno time to see the differences in a manifold and gate (assuming these help, typically they should), crap like changing a wheel hub/bearing etc, cam timing, cam gears, valve adjustments.

Simple stuff, just annoying/time consuming, basic but stuff you want to know is done right, because I can't be confident it was right in the past.

I had actually planned to do this initially, at least the welding parts!

But I was told "they can do everything" by the shop, so I said here's a big well detailed list with info, let me know.

If all else fails I will actually park it outside Scotty's and just ask him to let it get stolen.

I'd like to introduce you guys to my future wife, we met on the internet:

:woot::wub:

Booked marked to watch on my lunch break

Haven't heard of her before, but I can see why guys do judging from the preview :P

That's quite a list...

5 warrants for that scumbag's arrest, threats of violence towards his family and an AVO from his wife.... yes the poice couldn't manage to go pick him up.

drive past a cop with a modified car and they are more than happy to come and visit

pathetic

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D 
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
