Quote: Originally Posted by CUIN9SC ive heard alot of bad stories about him even know a few guys that got motors built by him and they have blown up 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. Quote: Originally Posted by YUW-83N are you sure?, a friend of mine just got his vl done last week, booked about 2 weeks previous, 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.

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...
