You know the saying dave if you don't have anything good to say, now go back and hide in that hole you came from.
Dave (gta390) can't help you on this one, but you know who NOT! to take it to.

Post by: GTA390 on October 23, 2009, 09:26:02 PM: I did see that someone recomended them, maybe just bad luck that time round.

Westend and Kuiper aren't to far might give them a call next week.

1 litre of paint has arrived to paint the appertures before she comes home, went with Aurora Blue, its on the new Mazda RX8.

lowered suspension and shocks have been ordered, new steering componenets are on there way.

New gauges as i am ditching the original and making a custom dash/gauge setup.

Trust me that ain't no Banana in my pocket i am happy about it:)

David.

Old man Parry was a keen drag racer ....maybe the younger generation never kept up with what should be done

Westend???... well, Sam is a good and careful machinist as long as you have lots of patience. I have been waiting for 6 months for him to machine a 308 for me. Lucky my customer is very understanding and his car still at the painters.
I would highly recommend Duncan Foster at Moorebank. I have been using them for over 10 years, average turnaround for a complete job like chemical clean, bore hone deck fit pressed pistons full balance on a short assembly never more than 1 week. Price is a bit on the high side but you get quranteed quality.
I do all assembly and blue printing myself.
