We had little control over that as we aren't the ones doing the machining.

Myself, working in an industry that subcontracts jobs to other parites, I see this kind of delay all the time. Your business is only as good as your weakest link (so to speak) perhaps it's time to think about what other parties your business associates with and possibly find more reliable ones.

It's sad that it comes to stuff like this, but when a customer is paying for service and not getting it, they get upset.

There's 934893489 shops out there, all of them have bad stories, and all of them have good stories (which far outweigh the bad)

Pro tip: Take every story with a pinch of salt and make up your own mind. :D

... you spend too much time on the internet and get too many different opinions which  makes it hard to then have a clear view of what you wish to achieve.

how can this be a thread without my two cents?!

ken, having dealt with your workshop, I can honestly say that you guys run a top notch organisation and that it's obviously just keyboard warriors who get their periods and don't understand how the world works who then decide to do something stupid like post some ignorant blubberish crap like we've seen at the beginning of this thread. I think Ken's quote above sums it up. Too much time on the internet (probably whinging that Jabba the Hut is the wrong shade of green since the digital edit of Ep5).

if you have a problem with a workshop, resolve it with them, don't try to ruin their reputation.

on an interesting side note, it's not too often people dish out complements, but it's far too regular that they dish out complaints.

Well from ur sig you used to go to SST - so really you didnt set the bar to high. :)

Ken is a champ - I'm not commenting on his shop or their work because i have never used them. My post was my opinion and had nothing to do with Ken.

I only went to SST for dyno comps and Hyperdrive for actual work :)

My comments were based on my opinion of Ken as a person and as the manager of a workshop :)

Don't make me come and slap you Dan ;) hahaha

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • 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
