Hey, Claudius, what is it with you? I had you down as a really funny dude, now you come over as all bitter and twisted.
If you've got summat to say about Godspeed, then come out and tell us, so that Ian can at least defend himself. Stop with the inuendo.
As they say guy, either put up or shut up!!!
Easy, dude :)

I did say what I had to say previously, and Ian said that the problem (pad touching bell! :o) had been fixed. All I meant to say is I wouldnt trust a company who sends my a brake kit they have "engineered" where that sort of thing happens. I'd rather go with proven products from companies that have a proven record.

I am not saying that the Godspeed brake kit doesnt fit a scooby properly, just a word of caution, really. And I said I said it before. Maybe a search would have brought that up? But then again, the search doesnt work too well on here :rolleyes:

No offence :)

I have noticed a lot of you have been using godspeed and for legal reasons i will make this brief be VERY careful this company has made no friends in either Nissan gtir community or old fords to name but a few so do some homework before parting with money.....You have been warned

Claudius 31 August 2002 05:39 PM

I warned them, too.

Sneb , We still have a good customer base for Gtir's and all Fords, We had 2 orders in for the Gtir's this week , So they can't be that unimpressed with them , How come it always seems that when a good thread starts about a company on here there is always someone to slag them off , It's the British way so I'm told !!

Claudius , I'm not going to answer this as I have done so about 4 times , as usual you are talking tripe , From the replies you get on your posts I think most others think the sames .

Cheers Ian

I love my Godspeed Brakes (325mm kit). They work a treat, turn heads when the car is at rest, were done v. quickly at short noticeand I think Ian and Rich are THE MEN!!!!

Claudius 01 September 2002 02:22 PM

Only the arrogance of the owner seems worse than their products.

If you've got nowt worth saying either bugger off to the muppet forum and stay there or don't bother, I suppose that you're also the best in your field of work and never done anything wrong in your life, but then as they say if you never do wrong you don't do anything!!!!

Hi Jim

the person who posted the original thread didnt give any details either. Why do you shout at ME? :confused:

I hear you, and I agree. Everybody makes mistakes. If I make a mistake (which has already happened, if I remember correctly ;)), it doesnt have the same consequences as if a brake manufacturer makes a mistake. Cant you see that?! I really dont care if you flame me for saying the above, but I would be extremely sorry to hear of a fellow scoobynetter being hurt or worse because of a brake failure. Get my point?

Peace :)

Claudius , Regarding the pad touching the bell , I have explained before but you obviously didn't understand so I will try again , The discs and bells we supplied to the customer for his Evo 5 fitted with the standard Brembo pads which is what we designed the kit for , when the customer went to fit different pads they were touching the bells , he took the pads out and fitted them up to the brembo pads and found them to be bigger which is why they touched , he ground his new pads down slightly so they cleared , and we changed our drawings for the discs so that any pad would clear , When you buy some pads for a certain car you do not expect different makes to be different sizes .
The pads being bigger is the reason they touched , not a badly designed kit as you keep saying , So do me a favour and get your story right before giving out 'EXPERT' advise from now on .

Claudius, you are the weakest link.............Goodbye!

badgerbell 03 September 2002 12:02 AM

Ian, sorry to but in on here, but can you get me any pads or should i source my own?
I want to get these new discs tried ASAP.
you can reply to my e-mail if you like
Cheers
Davy

Claudius 03 September 2002 01:43 AM

Oh, that happened on an Evo 5 as well? I was talking about the 6...

Hey, you know what? Godspeed are fabulous, the guy knows so much stuff, there are so many poeple who "like them" or "luv them", why dont you all go buy them?

Godspeed discs and brakes for the Gods of Speed!

Following Cladius's suggestion I had a look on the Nissan GTiR and RSOC boards. A couple of complaints about Godspeed (mostly delivery) but no more than you would expect of any company, and far outweighed by the number of positive threads about them.

Claudius 03 September 2002 12:14 PM

That was sneb suggesting that, not me. :)

Anyway, they are a fantastic product and it usually delivers without any problems. :)

carl 03 September 2002 12:18 PM


That was sneb suggesting that, not me.
You're right. Apologies :D
