Name the cars and the guys and why the engine blew up...
I use Jakes. No problems here. he doesnt bull**** me doesnt get upset if i do some of my own spanner work and is always willing to help me if i have a question.
He has done some pretty Hi-po VL's. I cant think of the guys name but a yellow VL, 25 head was some silly power figure like 475rwkw and they where looking for a bigger turbo for it.
A mate of mine goes in next week to get his microtech tuned. its a RB25 6boost topmount big garrett etc etc.
He has had plenty of LS1's turn up from other reputable tuners and re tuned. Plenty of Gen-TT kits he has fixed. has his own LS1 turbo kits. Has turbocharged bikes.
Everyone has there preference when it comes to there engine builder/tuner. Everyone has good and bad points and have had an engine grenade at some point.
I think its fair to ask that you dont slander a workshop unless it was you who it happened to. You dont know the whole story therefore casting aspertions like that isnt fair.

Yeah all depends on how busy he is. 2 weeks is about right even for a power run sometimes.
Soon as I get the VL back on the road I would be keen for a short cruise or i guess i could bring the other commonwhore. Whats the go with Mt Ainslie? do the cops bother you much say if we met up the top for a bit of a photo shoot.

Ya know the mountain on your left as your heading past the War Museum as your heading towards pialligo avenue. There is a bit of a twisty road heading to it and a decent sized car park up the top. Plus if we could get some of the background in the shots i reckon it would make for a decent photo shoot maybe...
