Thanks Widow, wise words there, will definitely follow it...
The parts that are lying around are all new, never been used, they where just wrong sizes or never returned, that kind of thing.
VeeCee if i might ask who's car is it? Isn't Ero his car is fine, so that only leaves Dr G / Jinx
You know what Duane didn't do bad work, the work he did himself, its all the work that monkey mechanic (Jannie) did... that ou must not come near a spanner, let alone a car. Unfortunately like with most tuning shops the bigmac can't attend to everything, but it was bad management not to check up on his work....
Same thing last night I'm removing my exhaust the thing has blerry steel bolts holding the exhaust to the turbo, one can't fucking do that, cuz they seize in, struggled like a mother fucker getting the stuff loose. And using self tapper screws to hold stuff into place on my body, where one could just have used a normal fine thread bolt, since the thread was there, but noooo lazy lazy, now the thread is stripped.
I had big footed nuts for my engine mounts, now they are all different sizes and sommer has washers there, where is the originals? Ja I got really fired up last night about the quality of the workmanship... Glad I'm doing this my self again.
Enough bitchen'
------------------------------

i'll let the owner tell you guys himself who it was, but i will whine about the dodgy DODGY workmanship!!!
it took the car three days to go from haveing an apparent 140rwkw's to barely being able to pull off from standstill. the intercooler wasnt mounted, the mounts were built, put in place but not attached???
so the intercooler was just balanced on the lower plastic lip of hte bumper???
WTF???
the clamps on the hoses were not tight at all??? WTF???
and he said the engine is fine, but that it might need a rebuild soon, because piston 1 has "so much" percent damage, and piston 2 "this much" percent damage etc - how do you quantify something like that??? WTF???
so apparently the engine is fine, but the crank-key has broken off while eating away all the key-ways that it has to fit into???
my god???
anyway - once the car is at my place, i will start. also rebuilding this weekend!!!
lemme know if you need anything - i'm gonna have two of everything in my garage soon!!! if you do, i can put you in touch with the owner of the donor!!!
