Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I've been forever pondering lately what gets prioritised through workshops / tuners

seems like FIFO is not something you can rely on as turnaround indicator

I think FIFO is the goal, but in your instance it was something that required extra work they didn't account for so inorder to get more cars out faster yours sadly went on the back burner :(

Whatever order makes them the most money the fastest?

here are my thoughts

regular service work = consistent cash flow = priority no.1

sponsoring work = zero immediate cash flow but free advertising = potential future cash-flow = priority no.2 (my mind is still debating this)

project work = infrequent cash flow = priority low

all the above depends on size and demographics i.e. manpower of the workshop(s) but as a general rule of thumb I don't think I'm too far off the mark.

Also for non service work i.e. large repair jobs or builds - if a workshop tells you it will cost you this much $xxx - budget for $xxx * 2 as there will always be additional costs they fail to mention (unless you know someone who will do it at a discount or lower chargeable rate)

Or get Dan to build your engine...

I'd say sponsored work goes to the back unless it will have immediate impact on future business, e.g. a sponsored car shits a bearing right before major event. This is bad as visibility is important so it'd go up the queue, otherwise it'd be dead last IMO

would really depend on the type of sponsor being provided to really answer that question

    • Did you take the MX5 for a Blat around the Track at all?
    • LOL, "they said it might be slippery"..... 30 seconds in your off, 60 seconds in white twin backs into the corner That new track looks good, and the Datsun was chopping cars quite nicely     
    • I'll get one of these also just for giggles
    • I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.
    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
