Intriguing thread... First up, I have used API for years and have always been great. I hope the OP gets clarity as soon as possible as I've been there (with a different company which is how I ended up being a David / APi loyalist), and is a horrible situation to be in. The thing that interests me is RM Performance.. Rob Ellard - are you the transmission chap from API? You would have rebuilt my PPG gearbox? Black 2.35 Type R, Mick built my engine... |
As in the Rob that was/ is a partner?
|
Just an update from my dealings with Api. Left it for a diff, gearbox check and new clutch fitted. Got it back 5 weeks later and after running in the competition clutch still have a very notchy gearbox(worse than before) and deep rumble when setting of from standing still in 1,2 and not as noisy in 3rd. The other 2 gears make no noise at all. This wasn't happening before l took it in, more or less the opposite was happening, but only when in high revs and taking foot off the accelerator would a rumble occur.. Rang them yesterday and taking it back next Tuesday when hopefully it will get sorted, otherwise l'll be looking else where.:brickwall

Holding judgment at the moment with API, had my 2010 STI Saloon forged there in May which included a Competition stage 2 clutch which has let go after 2.5k? Ordered another from AS Performance so we'll see what clutch comes out of it next week? Cars running 403/420. could be just bad luck I suppose.

Maybe your life style makes it an easy choice just to simply head down there and sort it out, if I had the choice to find someone closer to sort the engine out I would have done with no hesitations but no one in Norfolk touches impreza's with a barge pole! The simple thing is, it will get sorted yes it's a long winded process, and yes my point of a jeasture of good will, is simply a jeasture, not demanding it or even expecting it just simply as a point of customer satisfaction.
|
Unfortunately after being unable to get hold of API I initiated a partial charge back. I didn't really want to but seeing as no one was even picking up the phone....

Hi,
Latest update - APi have definitely moved to the address above. My spies have visited even though I have not. David O'Brien is no longer involved in the buisiness - confirmed by Simon Bryant I have yet another phone number - 01926 839 727 which I have got through on a couple of times and to be fair I have had a couple of calls or calls back from Simon so perhaps things are returning to normal! Still 11 weeks and counting is an awful long time even allowing for Christmas and a move to say nothing of a bill that is heading for 3 grand! |
I've just collected mine today after 6 months.... but I can definitely say it was worth the wait, feels like a different car! Simon had explained the issues he's had and his new unit, looks like a bomb has hit it due to moving but since his phones have been up and running he's been on the ball with updates and information
|
Very good news. :thumb:
|
I had a problem with my clutch in my new build but Simon has got everything in order which I am very pleased with. My car does run great at 403bhp :-)
