not having much luck with Performance 1 Coatings, i received an email asking if i could send the pipes back i have said that isnt going to happen they have had two attempts to get it right already.I rang them yesterday lunchtime and spoke to a chap who said he would get Linda who deals with any issues to call me asap.She never called a complete waste of time.
All i want is my money back but i cant see that happening.
A £282 lesson.
I think i need better tyres and bigger Gonads !!
Already paid my deposit for next May 9th.
Come on Subaru owners lets have a day out pay your £30 deposit and secure a place.
BPR i expect to see you there.
Come on pay your deposit. It doesnt matter what car you have.
Pay now secure your place if you dont/cant go its only £30 lost.
I am not trying to sound flash saying that.
I have been told there will be no refund from Performance 1 Coatings.
They want me to send my pipes back but that wont be happening.
I should have taken notice of the reviews i read. An expensive lesson !!
Since i have driven Prescott hillclimb i have a few ideas for the car over the winter.
Suspension overhaul new tyres , sort out brake judder i have recently had pads and discs fitted so i dont know why i have the juddering and get the slipping clutch sorted.
The spending never ends.
next on my list is a quick steering rack from a spec C .
Then there is the juddering on the front brakes,the discs were new in May for the mot calipers have been checked .The calipers are AP racing but not the discs so i might have a search for the proper bells and rotors.Note to wallet brace yourself.
Just bought an Extreme clutch to replace my ACT which stinks when doing slow manoeuvres. Hopefully if i can source one at the right price i will have a quick rack fitted at the same time.
My car is back with Ryan to have the Extreme clutch fitted.
While it is there he will spray the ic pipes that Performance Coatings messed up,they kept my money though.
Also he is going to clean up the engine block and coat it,with what I can't remember.
Had a problem with the friction plate so having to wait for one from Australia.
I am having Hardrace engine mounts,gearbox mount and a pitch stopper fitted while the engine is out.
I have managed to find a quick rack so that will be fitted along with Whiteline top mounts.
Found another problem,the U frame and subframe are very rusty.
I am on the lookout for replacements.
I have a U-frame here in good condition, if of interest? Bought it to replace the one on mine which was still OK but showing early signs of rot...then sold the car lol.
U frame sourced
Subframe sourced
Quick rack
Whiteline alk
Alloy sti arms
Whiteline adjustable camber top mounts
Whiteline steering rack bushes
All being fitted this weekend.
Still waiting on the friction plate.
Having some aero catches fitted is another job for the future.
Have to find what is a quality make. Locking or not which is best ?
All advice gratefully received
