Ryan.G Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Now i cant think of another time i have bad mouthed someone apart from Dan turnip on a forum but TTC Performance have annoyed me soo much. I have never delt with a company who have not listened one bit to what i have said and just brushed off my problem with crap excuses!!. Basically 2 monthes ago i finally finished all the V8 Installation and got my v160 all mounted up and working with my custom flywheel. After starting the engine i could hear a whining. Spoke to a few friends in the industy who know there apples one of which is Chris Wilson and it was seen that either my Gearbox was faulty or the adaptor plates are not positioned right... Spoke to Eric @ TTC and basically said the situ and gave him the benefit of the doubt that it might be the gearbox as it was rebuilt. So got another gearbox from magictorch which i personally mapped and knew the box was sweet. Popped that in and it still was whinning!!! So spoke to eric again and he said nope the plates are 100% and that 40 cars run these and had no issues. Now i have mapped 2 cars with these adaptor plates so said yes i know they are normally fine but mine are not as the dowel locations have been messed up in the machining and helicoiled again to move them... Eric suggest this is how they are all done!!!! WTF.... Some real quality work there... He are my plates as i recieved them and a vid of the whinning which only was there when the gearbox was turning. Dumping the clutch got rid of the noise… http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/Fletchy/?action=view¤t=SAM_0158.mp4 Soooo decided to get the plates, engine face and gearbox face investigated using a Faro arm which Eric stated they were originally measured up on. Well we found the plates to be 0.7mm out on the centre!! We even found that the plates are that well designed that the starter motor hits the gearbox!! Had the Dowel location moved properly by a local engineering and no more whining!!! Now after giving all this data to Eric he was still not willing to pay out for the damage done to the gearbox and also send me a new plate! Just stated send plate back and if we find it out we will replace. So £100 down on posting back and still a knackered box.... GREAT! So word of warning would be to avoid TTC Performance products!!

JamieP Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You just have to look at the work he did on his own car to see what sort of pride he takes in his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Nice to see a faro arm in use, no expense spared there I've honestly heard nothing good about TTC. It's either nothing or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 All that evidence and he won't accept he is wrong. Some people are just blind to the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 All that evidence and he won't accept he is wrong. Some people are just blind to the truth. Just reminds me of the thread about his car. I always wanted to look at it from his point of view, benefit of the doubt kind of thing, but the more evidence that came to light the harder it was to see his side of things. I was fairly convinced even before the person bought the car and brought all the problems to light. Apparently his maths isn't the best.

imi Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have never heard of them, Scott - can you point me to the link to the thread you mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have never heard of them, Scott - can you point me to the link to the thread you mention. I'll have a search for it, it might even have been taken down I can't be sure. There have been a few threads on it. You know the big widebody supra that TTC/Eric/Cowboybebop made? Custom dials, V8 TT engine etc? There was the original thread where questions were asked, then there was another thread.... a dispute almost... regarding Eric and how he had came to owning/making the car and how one of the partners had been screwed over. Anyway, I'll go have a search if someone doesn't beat me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yup, I think I spent a couple of hours reading it all, with a face exactly like that, when it all came out. Absolutely shocking stuff. I have nowhere near the resources of that guy... some spanners, a socket set, allen keys, a jack and some axle stands...... and I reckon I could do a FAR better job than that with my eyes closed while drunk.
