Been ordering from him about 2 years ago when he just got started again and was very good to deal with then. But right now it seems to be a problem.

James can you pm me a price and pics of the swirl pot? Thanks mate!

He is long. No doubt about it. however his products are the best on the market it would seem, especially intercoolers, so many think its worth the wait and moaning

I had to have a snigger at this comment

Pete was behind even with me working for him.
Spec-R kit is the best out there as proved by the top tuners and engine builders across the world. The RallyX world has taken up 70% of his time this year and me leaving has not helped as he will never find anyone who will put thereselves out as much as i did, but he will pursevere and get there in the end

Keep trying the phone.....he will answer. E mail.....dont bother.

Cheers

Daren (ex Spec-R)

Why did you leave. Or is it not something you want to go into on here?

Funny how the hard to get hold of people get moaned about

Usually there hard to get hold of because there so bloody busy , and there so busy because there very good at what they do , so missing your call probs wont affect them at all

Its a catch 22 thing if your good your busy and cant get to the phone , if your crap your quiet and so always answer , lol

If you ring me i always answer

fuck , im must be shit , lol
