this is how the story goes
2 yrs ago buy a ea ghia 6months later send it to ex mate ALTEDPERFORMANCE under the impression it was getting 4litre worked head with HD valve springs etc,xtractors from ef xr6,eb xr cam,3.7 diff gears,twin thermo's,panel work fixed,5 speed manual,and a few others i cant remember atm paid him in full 3-4 weeks later for all the work, and was told it would take 3-4 weeks to complete. 3 months later he has trouble firing the engine come to find out the crank was the cause(it started when he replaced the original dizzy yet when he went to start it with this ? new head ? it wouldnt,so after weeks of trying and replacing nearly every wire etc,he gave up and tried to redeem himself by selling me instead a worked 3.9 litre with stage 2 crow cam gear etc,so me being peeved at how long it took said whack it in,anyways puts it together and does the brakes again etc and i take it home well worst mistake was doing so,after 5 mins smoke poured from the rear come to find out brakes were tight *handbrake* my brother inlaw fixes this and were off again i get home after a deadly trip on the road and this worked 3.9litre is now leaking oil like anything,so i leave it and ring him and he has no excuse as to why this is happening,anyways after weeks of negotiating repairs it never happened he told me to bring it back  : then said he'd come get it(never did) anyways i came to find out this motor had been dropped from a engine crane was siliconed up *crack in sump etc*and wiring etc bodgied up to get it going,and the brake booster was siliconed to stop it leaking from the crack it had in it and to keep up with the bodginess the thermo's are on a switch inside of the car and done with a old household electrical cord,did more searching found the 4litre head that was originally done was a wreckers special,clutch was fried and on its last legs,3.7 diff gears never arrived so he gave me a lsd which the ghia already had :P and to top it off he never gave me my bottom end from original engine back nor the eb xr cam i paid for to be on that 4litre worked head i was promised or my other bits n pieces,anyways parked her up for a while and ripped this bodgy POS out rebought a fresh ED 4litre had to buy new clutch, booster, cylinders, all new front n rear rubbers, engine mounts,cables and redo oil n filtres etcall up i redid the entire car except the thermo wiring which im yet to do,he even mucked with the fuel sender/pump didnt screw it back on right and when i filled it it leaked out everywhere,its f'd and im missing a few parts i left in my boot when it went to him after 4-6k its back to average condition still requires 1-2k's worth but all im doing is the timing the tuning the pump n filtres roof lining and panel work he bodgied up and then paint :P www.altedperformance.com <RORTS R US> im silly for trusting him and silly for paying in full before the parts arrived and even sillier for not taking a stance from week 4 and getting it done elsewhere or myself lessons you learn ay pics of the 18's on it coming tom'w theres more to the story but its far too long to tell sorry if i bored you's :P |
