Tidgy

read his MLR post, the transcript is fabricated, he lied about how he left the place etc etc

that was before the video was seen by him, it was to do with the brackets on the front bumper if you red when that came in.

How can making up lies be brilliant handeling? or did you not read his version of the transcript?

If your having a build set of forged rods shouldn't add to much, iirc there about £600 for a set of mahl.

Few years back similar thing happened. Guy posted up saying he went to clinic, ended up waiting for 45 mins and giving up because they were 'troughing'. The reality was, he was on site for 2 minutes, yes 120 seconds. CCTV showed that to be the case and the pictures got posted up and the guy was made to look like a muppet. I've been up there when people have been told stuff by the mechanics then they go online and post up something different which is total lies. Straight away the guy was looking for a slagging match with his comments and action, so the 'i have a video' would have been met with a huge great dose of sceptasism. Then he threatens legal action and makes lots of angry phone calls. How is he suposed to take it? He was asked to send them the video to deal with it internaly before going public, which with it being an HR issue (which is a serious legal matter and private and confidential) before anything else. He refused to do that and embelished the story on the posts. The video then came out, which is very bad indeed, however again it has had the transcript fabricated by him to seem worse than the comments are and its gone on from there. When the guy has been obviouly lying bout things would you believe him when you trust your staff?

Half of the issue is the story the owner told is 50% bs 50% truth. While that is no excuse for what happened, how were they supposed to take it when initially they were told a pack of rubbish and refused to be shown the video?

It's on my to buy list, when i eventualy get the net haha

Yeah its not good to say the least. The mechanic in question is no longer working for scoobyclinic and I really don't know what people expect. Considering people are going after 20 other blokes jobs is beyond me. Sorry chapter indeed

need to get it plugged in to find out the fault code, i;d drive it as little as possible and if you do have to drive it very very gently and low revs and no boost

noice noice, got the afr boost graph? japseed core is ok, mixed reviews on the pipework as far as it being a direct fit.

did you dig out the graph chap?

On a hawk i wouldn't bother with any TD series, there getting long in the tooth and too many knock offs out there. £180 for a turbo is 1/5 of what i would expect to pay for a decent one. VF35 would be a good one or if you wanna go after market a sc36.

got the graph?

i wouldnt push the 2.5 block to 500 without some mods to it. Where did the 420 figure come from?

hahaha, fair enough :D

cool, what turbo did you go for?

So battery is fooked on the type R, went to start it this morning and its dead as a dodo. The question is, what to go for. Can pick one up on Eurocarparts for about £80 with decent crank amps. Or i can spend a bit more for an optima red top or similar sort of thing from somewhere else. What do folks recomend and wheres best place to get one from?

for 350bhp the standard block will be fine. standard crank will be ok as well. its at the upper limit of the wrx pistons and rods though. I wouldn't use a general dogs body garage for a rebuild, find a decent specialist who knows what there doing with subaru engines.

what specs the car?

While heads are off may as well get the crank bearings changed, your 80% of the way there so may as well do em. What spec very much depends on budget. Do you have a budget in mind?

you adict you,,,, lol

lmao, they been reading the express? lol

lol, not sure how far i got tbh, lvl 10 or 11, got bored of leveling taking so long.

dad bought hius about 9 months ago and im seriously tempted by one to replace my daily hack. Comes with tyre inflator crap rather than a spare, but you can buy an oiptional spare, but it raises the boot floor up. I find the seats pretty comfortable in it, but its always a personal thing with seats so i'd go sit in one and see what you think. Other option is the forrester which is its big brother
