got one hereom or better 07462929217

Got one now thanks tho mate

Cooling panel and chrome fuse cover fitted and cleaned the engine bay

Opinions on the carbon cover in the bottom left hand corner, keep it carbon or have It chrome plated????

A pleasure to deal with product as described and great communication with good postage thanks again

Very clean love it

Thanks mate!

We only pushed it to .9 bar of boost probably more the fact of me shitting myself and not wanting anything not go wrong even tho it didn't but yeah but nick said if I pushed to 1 bar he'd have expected 230 240 but I'm happy with that

Very strange, I got 222bhp when I had it, different engine and almost same figure?

I'll add a fourth a second what aaddzz 123 said pleasure to deal with

Sweet mate looks awesome what was the knocking then bottom end?? Did you manage to get it fixed there and then?

Yeah bud there was a slight knocking on the bottom end discovered at mapping before dyno and luckily it was just a set of shells so got fixed in time

Hi guys haven't posted for a while

Having replaced the engine I took it for mapping and found a slight knocking so didn't make the dyno after fixing the problem I finally got it mapped and gave me a nice 220bhp at .9 bar of boost could have gone more but decided not to

Also brought a few extra bits such as an arm rest and a three point rear strut brace

Also have a fuse box cover a cooling panel and a couple of other bits but undecided on a few

Hi guys after engine bay covers in chrome for a fuse box cover and cooling panel

Really I'm after a battery cover and any other bits whatever you've got let me know thanks

Great communication and easy to deal with great postage and as described

Thanks

I totally understand your point mate but the car is on a sorn so how could I have run it around and broke it?

Also like I've said it was good of socks to partially refund me however I feel if I sold something and it turned out to be fault then I would do my best to resolve it

I would like to add that socks and the team that run the forum do a great job and therefore I understand how busy Matt must be

Also it has now been resolved so it's sorted

I understand why you're upset Jacob but in matts defense there is no proof that you didn't run the engine for 2 weeks or 3 weeks or whatever before doing the damage, there was no warranty given and it was sold as seen and I also doubt that it would have made a 350 mile trip on a knocking bottom.

I recently bought a car that turned out the cam belt wasn't on properly and the wheel nearly fell off which could have been a fatal accident but that's tough shit because I bought it sold as seen. All you can do is have a moan and ask for an apology but it wasn't matts responsibility to give you anything back at all. I've been done over a few times having sold something working fine and then get given it back a few weeks later after they've broken it but claim they've been away with work or not had time to look at it until 2 weeks later.

You just have to accept with 2nd hand good that you're taking a risk and you're buying stuff which is sold as seen. Very rarely can you go back months later and get a partial refund as it's usually not the seller's problem anymore especially if no cover of any kind was given.

Also as John said the forum isn't owned by anyone. Matt hosts the forum for free and as a staff member keeps it running along with the other staff members.

Right, Matt does not own the site, no one does, the site is run by an Admin team, there is no profit made from the club so a little sad comment, at the end of the day this is between Matt and Jacob, this has now been resolved

John

How much are shells for a 4e-fte ?

I paid 65 next day posted buddy

Socks has refunded me the full cost of the shells which is what I was asking and this has sorted it

Thankyou Matt for sorting this it really is much appreciated and I would like to say that Matt is a great bloke to deal with so don't be out off because he has sorted this very quickly

Thanks again much appreciated

Partial Refund Sent.

To cover the cost of shells...

As a Gesture of Good Will... No warranty was offered, and no one else would offer warranty for an engine on here I don't think!

However I do feel for you mate. I know what its like being sold something that's not right...

Still a bit stunned that it managed a 350mile journey from Scotland without spinning a shell...

As I said I've sold 4-5 of these engines now knowing full well they were fully functional... Had no reason to believe otherwise in this case...

That ok Jacob?

That is very true mate however I didn't have the money to go and get it rebuilt otherwise I would have done that to the damage engine I had in the first place and plus I didn't think something like this would happen but that is also my point about second hand engines

To be honest it's always pot luck with a second hand engine. if I ever need an engine it will be fully rebuilt

Thankyou and this is exactly what happened and I was lucky that it was caught early and yeah it's not expensive but when with parts and time taken to fix it, it all adds up

hope u get this sorted mate....and also it is possible for the bottom end to knock very slightly to begin with. it doesnt just knock like mad straight away in some cases

Couldn't have said it any better. This is appalling. Hope you get something sorted buddy.

Cheers thanks lads

Here you go mate you can see in picture one mainly on the right shell that there is slight scoring/wear as the copper is showing

Picture 2 shows 2 shells that aren't damaged

Picture 3 shows both shells are fucked

Thanks

Yeah that's not a problem
