MKIVDreamer Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi all, We here at Turbofit took James knackered engine out and rebuilt it ( Pete here done all the work) And we are helping him do his Single install although only from the point of giving him advice and fabracation of hardpipes and things like that. We realise that not everybody has the facilities to be able to complete a tt to single upgrade and as james's car was already in having the engine work done we thought it would benifit James to be able to do it in our workshop and have all the tools and equipment at his finger tips. (We also put him to work:d ) Whilst we are happy to provide this facility now and again it is not something that we are going to offer on a general basis so please no PM's asking about when you can hire the workshop. Now that's what I call service two thumbs way high for the guys at Turbofit :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregsupra4 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 well im sure turbofit wouldnt mind too much, as he had paid you to rebuild the engine first, right. its not like he said, take my engine out, so i can use your workshop im sure if someone came in and said, they wanted a full engine rebuild with new clutch and lsd fitted, they wouldnt mind if you came down and fitted a air filter So you think that we only let james use the workshop because he paid ?? Well that just goes to show that you are a very narrow minded individual and may not have been to the same type of workshop as ours. We are here to make money ( I suppose you work for free) just like the rest of the world but with a big difference, we love what we do, all of us have given up well paid positions to bring a dream alive and yes hopefully we will make a good living out of it. If you took the time to talk to our customers ( Who we class as friends) you will find that we go out of our way to be helpful even to those who just pop in with a problem, a lot of which we sort for no charge. We never mind if people want to use the workshop providing that we have space and are always ready and willing to give advise and help when needed. All in all take a chill pill mate.

terribleturner Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Looking good James now get your finger out and get it finished Slight hitch, due to a new part i got tempted with today it's going to take slightly longer now as i have to move the battery to the boot. I tell you this car is really gonna be a beast Alex, great minds think alike Would you belive i told that to Sabrina over dinner tonight and she mentioned you said that Those HKS ones look great, but wear VERY fast Gaz yeah you know me, i'll be up for that Just hope Charlie will be able to cope with what i'll be laying down And cheers everyone else for your comments, i'll remember to take you all for a spin as i'll probably not stop driving it for ages once it's back and will be making it to a town near you soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 hmmm let me think that new part must be a intake manifold of some sort for you to need to move the battery? can't wait to see the car when its ready mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 I can't wait either. VVVVVVVVRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Great news to hear its moving along mate, can't wait to see this beast in action What did you do for injectors in the end? Also, are you going ahead with the EM blue? ...guess why i'm asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Thats really good of the turbofit guys James, i bet theres few garages that would allow that to happen. Your far braver than me doing the rest of the install yourself (albeit with a little help i'm sure! ) Jobs like this are something i would love to do, even if it was just being a so called 'assistant' and helping out, i'm sure i would learn heaps. Theres been so many times where i wish i had taken a career to some day do what the guys at turbofit and similar places are doing now, instead of doing IT stuff. It holds more of an interest as a hobby to me than IT ever will. Anyway!! enough of me ranting on, looks great mate, cant want to see it all up and running! Christian Mate, thats me all over.......

Jake Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Looking good James! Best of luck with it. If it was me I would put new exhaust manifold studs in the head. It often lets down the look of a nice new single install. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Darryll, i got a kit off of Michel Lane which included 780 injectors. And yes blue EManage Cheers Jake, not a bad idea about the studs, i'll have a look around tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
