  1. One of the many broken plugs. I was told it was "How TT's go" And mine was heavy "due To the bodykit and filer" Baileyjdm, A washing machine/House hold appliance servicer, worked out in about a 5 min that the second turbo wasent coming in as the vsv plug wasent on Wtf?
  2. Clips holding half on, Nearly holding the pipe but no banana But i guess if it was on properly it would be even more dangerously close to the fan/housing
  3. can you see my bitterness now? Its muggins that has to pay for all this to be fixed. That swirlpot pipe is not bent back for the picture, Thats how it actually was fitted
  4. Well thats sounds fair, Heres the fuel line next to the filter to start. Im still waiting for descriptions of what the other pictures are (Bloody mechanics eh?) As you can see the jubilee clip is actually resricting fuel. We dont know why this was even done as the double banjo fuel line is the same on an N/a, a tt or and Aristo This is the pipe going to the powersteering swirlpot, Nearly doubled back over to fit. Notice the big slits in it. The speed sensor plug for the powersteering wasent plugged in ether
  5. "I will continue to deny ever saying I'm closing the business...." if you didnt have Chris's Supra there and him over a barrel i know he would be here to back me up that you did say it. "Alan took his car from me for about 6 weeks before it came back, with the faults". As i told you on the phone i drove it about 100 miles when i got it home and it wasent right, I had the RAC out twice to it for its cutting out. in the six weeks i had it back it wasent driven,As i told you and you said to tailor it up to you wheres i didnt have the money. I even missed Japfest as couldent trust it. "having spent 2 days and 30+ miles testing" You had the car two weeks and spent two days on it, you knew the date we were passing to pick up the 350z and you started looking at it two days before then "Alan's reason for collecting the car was that he didn't want to have to wait weeks and weeks knowing how busy I was" It was, and still is because you were shutting down but to be honest i wouldent of left it for another six months with you for nothing to be done Pictures of the bodges coming soon FYI
  6. Matt rang me yesterday for about half hour, Totally denied he told me and another person that he was closing the business but actually he ment the workshop and once again told me i was happy to take my car away from there, On a trailer, Not running right. As i explained again as he was shutting down i wanted to get my car away from there as quick as possible as i know of other companys shutting with cars being left there and it causes a whole world of problems, So no, After spending the money i did to have a non running car i was not happy. I asked for some sort of compensation even if it was the price of the loom or the money i had to pay to get my car dragged away but it was a flat no. Pictures to come tonight of some of the awesome stuff that was done.
  7. Ive got no input but its interesting info
  8. Lovely car, Looks a lot nicer than when Gaz had it
  9. Another "Brilliant" review http://www.driftworks.com/forum/tjz-engineering/149176-would-i-recommend-tjz-engineering.html Comments on the company closing "Nowhere even close to going belly up. I'm not entirely sure where these rumours have come from but they are completely untrue" They come from you Matt, You told both me and Chris this on the phone

    TT Auto Diff

    This is a standard one mate, Does look totally different
  12. Not counting all the wiring faults and bodges.It was Baileys mechanic that drew my attention to alot of the problems as i took it there for the kick down problem. you say intermittent cutting out, Intermitantly every 500 yards
  13. So from the "You drove it and it died" Its my fault? I wasent over happy having my car trailered away from yours but as you told me and Chris on the phone you were closing the company at the end of the month as you didnt have a mechanic anymore. You have had the car for six months (Including me driving it home nearly 200 miles and then having to bring it back to you when it was ready to break down at a drop of a hat) so possibly it was enough time for ""Ripping it out and starting again"? I had to get a loom as it was the only way of getting it sorted with your company "closing" what other choice did i have? Even if you were not closing, what? keep it for another six months? When i got it back from you it was smoking, cutting out, i just couldnt trust it so missed a few of the shows this year. Matt, You're a nice bloke, Seriously, But you f***** my car royaly.
  14. Its funny, You'd thinks so wouldent you? i went to him as i didnt want to wait a month on Kerons waiting list and i wanted to save money, Now its cost me about a grand more and five months more than with Keron
  15. The fuel line you spotted on the ramp was the best one, My mechanic said the second jubilee clip is not even clamped to anything and just restricting fuel From a live put in to a fuse slot and held in with the efi fuse to the rad hose jubilee clip on the wonk so its only half holding on and it leaking boost in to the charcoal canester as some of the pipes were wrong, Not to mention it kept cutting out every 500 yards. I will be doing a detailed thread when i get the report
  16. lol, yeah, All of it when "It was running properly" A mate of here offered to sort it for me
  17. Just getting my new mecanic "Cataloging" all the faults. Its been a nightmare and it still not running. Got a new loom off Hack n bash and getting that fitted to get it going (On a buy now pay later as i have spanked so much on it) along with a shed load of other bits that are wrong
  18. Still not got it back six months later, Had to have it trailered away from Tzj, Thread to come soon
