looking into the problem im having with the power steering looks like the rack has to be removed and sent away for inspection ill update once its been looked at,hopefully they find something wrong because I haven't a clue whats going on with it.
on another note a couple of weeks back while I was at NMS with mike we decided to drive another 3 hours south to Essex to have my spare block long studded and have the machining done for oil jets,looking at having it built up for a spare,but this wont happen quickly I just don't have the funds atm for new crank,rods and pistons.

james tbh mate I don't know what an alternative could be pete owns the tooling rights to that filter
I did try to get one direct from k and n and they told me I can only get them through pete.it must have cost me more in texts and phone calls chasing this up than it did for the whole catch tank
he told me on two occasions that these where special order from America when it turned up it had a sticker on it saying made in England lol.
I hate being lied to.

He must be a genuine bellend, when you pay for a service and parts to be made and get your time for said parts to be complete then have to wait over 12 months and phone call, bullshit, phone call, more bullshit over and over again its a pure pisstake.
This maybe something southerns are used to but up here when you say you'll do something and you don't it doesn't go down well, i've heard a few folk say if he doesn't sort the parts out they are going to be basically hammer him as he's a piss taker.

I don't have anything against southerners in general but some of the business technique is a little different than what i'm used to - when you say it will be done you go out of way to stand by your word not blag it for an extra year lol but he's not alone. He makes parts equal to the next good fabricator i've got his tanks so know the workmanship

Last word on this I did tell you and why did I not follow up the call is because there has been so many complain about your service and time schedules and I can not believe its purely because your a northern person that I decided to buy it from Burtons who actually do what they say lol

Either send me a pm if want to cry some more or dont bother at all its all good

MK Motorsport where's he based up north - from memory it's a 4 hour drive south for me lol it wasn't a personal attack on southern folk it was purely Pete and his shit service.

ajamesc he isn't all that, because he makes a few bits for enthusiasts and race cars doesn't make him the best out there as said plenty of local folk actually make better gear for all different apps
