Well, best idea is to call their bluff, and tell them you will go and collect it. It may be a bollox, but it will be interesting to see what excuse they come up with. You should also tell them you want the money for postage back.

 

I did on friday night.. I said that I would go pick it up, they said fine, rung me back and said that no one can get into the wharehouse...

Eitherway Ill tell them tomorrow that If its not there by lunchtime tomorrow then I dont want it.

bttt

 

Guy.. your not the only one..

Andy its in the blanking plate where the original TB went..

Clutch is new but std... will sort when I put the 6 speed in.. as I have a new clutch coming with the box.. if it causes a problem then I wont use it...

Was going to use it as antilag so any revs at wot with no reasonable boost showing on map sensor..??

What revs would you say?? to come in at.. 2k??? so 2k to 3.5k?

Want 25bhp jets...

oops missed the 0

If I monitor the Crank Position Sensor and Count pulses etc.. I could work out the revs I supppose...

oh and the d/pipe does have 2 bosses, but they look like different threads... We have a few days.. if it doesnt fit we can weld one on!

Now Where's this fooking intercooler...

Has it arrived yet??

 

County Court Judgement and Police called yesterday to try and get it released from wharehouse... (Dont believe it though...)

Supposed to be coming today... Smell something?

David

 

*cough*Bullocks*cough*

 

Just had them on the phone (they rang me for one..) Have you got it he said... Apparently it was delivered last night... Erm no..

He then says ffs it doesnt take a rocket scientist to pick up a box and deliver it... Obviously it does I said.. Made me feel better...

David

 

And still no welder? ****!

 

yeah and to top it all off they rung me this morning and said that the driver might need a hand unloading it as its heavy...

WTF..

I want to buy a new car... Ok sir but you'll have to go to the factory and put the wheels on.

David

 

...knowing car manufacturers, they'd charge you for delivery too

 

LOL.....David is pi55ed off about this!!

Good grief mate, and no muppeting either!

Heard anything about the welder yet? Finger's crossed...

 

The number of posts soon seem to rack up...

Especially with the bollox I talk about

Got the welder yet?

JGM

 

told them yesterday, I wouldnt accept it of that courier anymore despite promises... told them they should next day one to me today as I have taken the day off work... so today or never! (Might even get two!)

David

 

When someone screwed up delivery of a helmet I needed for a raceweekend, I forced the "courier" company to pay for motorbike courier to get it to me at 10pm.

I can't remember how I did it exactly, but they must have really wanted to avoid the hassle I probably promised.

similar deal, next day turned into next week.

I think in my case I asked what they could do to get it to me before the morning, and they thought I was joking. 3 hours later, helmet in hands.

Paul

 

LOL, poor bike courier having to lug a welder about. Will it fit in a topbox?

How will it corner? (Had to edit that in there, I'm not a professional muppet)

small van ought to do I would think.

I was in london, although it might have been a small car that it came in. Perhaps I'm confusing it with pizza.

Quality was excellent thanks I'll manage to distort it by welding it on though
I presume it's a high grade alloy ? It sure is tough to machine !
(just blending in the edges to the original part)


thanks again

Andy

Mark - Don't know about 'screw fix' but screw loose though

 

1 Tig Welder or 2 Sir!!!

 

lol.. how much you had to drink??

Must say thanks to p20spd for taking me out in his slow car today and reminding me of what its all about.. and thank fuc& he doesnt drive like a fanny!! Nice one steve I owe you... Been grinning all night!!

David

 

The least i could do, in my slow car

Drink...cant really remember, got home went to see kids, got washed and changed, went to pub, got talking to an irishman about guinness, so we ending up seeing how many we could drink, had to leave at 11:30, thought i was going to puke, had nothing to eat, probably like you.

Seeing as this seems massively off-topic and has now included "NON-DIY FMIC project" , just a quick note to thank you for your help with my downpipe.

My hands have just about healed, I pulled muscles I didn't know I had working under the car, and I was pretty uniformly covered in ****e when I went back to work. But it was worth it

Most noticable thing driving back wasn't performance, but how much SMOOTHER the car ran. This really, really surprised me. Oh, and the other noticable thing was the clouds of white smoke in traffic out of the intercooler scoop - thank **** it was WD40 burning off

Blasting around the lanes around Pool/Arthrington and other random places on the way back from the hill climb (see pics in Northern section) the car definitely picks up and pulls better, and the noise is just fantastic

Cheers again! And good meeting you Steve!

 

Sorry for no updates been busy...

Now have a welder.. and will do some more work on the car after a bit more practice... Will try and sort some pics out tonight...

David

 

LOL@Chiark nice to meet you too, although i am now a little confused, because my car has nowhere near the amount of wiring under the bonnet as yours

 

I put random pieces of wire there to confuse the enemy.
