Hey Steve, so how's the MRT pipe plumbed in then? IIRC there is no port for the D/V on it?

I've had no direct experience of JVS but a good friend of mine bought an Evo 7 through them. Within two days the clutch was u/s. To be fair they did replace the it and incurred all charges themselves. However, they screwed up when fitting it and in the end the clutch they fitted had to be replaced along with the flywheel. Naturally they didn't fit the second one but did still pay the bill.

In my view the matter was handled as best possible but it was alot of hassle for my friend to be without a car for so long in addition to the grief/stress that comes with a situation like this.

Carl, ever the cynic.

PS: Steve, do you just add £50 to the cost of every mod you do to cover the remap?

so carl what you are trying to say is these guys did a repair and when there was a no fault problem and they waved their fee
now that sounds like good customer service to me

Steve, what i'm saying is they attempted to repair the clutch, screwed it up and then paid to have it repaired properly. Like i said, i believe the case was handled as best as it could have been. However, IMO they should have been able to fix the clutch themselves. I'll continue to use the garage that fixed the clutch properly.

For the record i wouldn't hesitate to use JVS if the need arose. I do feel as though there is a terrible amount of hype built up around companies on BBS like this one - not all of it justified IMO.

Anyway, how's the pipe plumbed in Steve? You running minus D/V?
