From the looks of the adapter plate in the photos on that thread, you're very easily pleased or very naive with regard to what is good quality machining and what is not. I can tell you now, from a professional view point, the adapter plate shown in that thread would not pass QC at any even semi-decent machine shop.

Blan thats a bit below the belt. I know of jano and my opinions will stay my own but to say there cars must look shit is unfair.

In my opinion

Looks nice.

Reminds me of my old cabrio engine bay.

Went down A/S and bought every thing they had lol. I personally dont use jano but i knbow at least 10 people that do, And have not heard many bad things.

I do agree that the adapter plate does not look like top class workmanship but thats why its 60 quid i suppose.

Most of what jano sells is good money, thats how he makes a living.

It does not look top class looks nothing like the one i received but at the end of the day they look like minute surface scratch's over it that would not affect performance and the plate has a gasket sits either side any way - awaits to be shot down

Well without meaning to be rude or pointing out the blatantly obvious, you clearly are either naive or easily pleased ... failing that your comments are made out of sheer stupidity or the result of some medical condition such as Hyperopia?

My comments with regards to being naive would seem to be backed up by your words in the quote below

The "minute scratches" over the surface has fuck all to do with it. The fact that the ports do not line up and the fact the blended section of the adapter plate covers the injector boss DOES. The fact that the adapter plate has been machined so poorly that straight cuts are wonky is a problem. Whoever Jano gets to machine those plates, to be frank needs a good slap.

Bandwagon jumping has sod all to do with it - That particular adapter plate that Jano has sold is shit, no ifs, no buts. If you would be happy with something of that quality on your car you are not a perfectionist or have one very bizarre definition of perfection.

Exactly, its not jano who machines the stuff. Perhaps he had to change to someone else for that particular plate, there are countless pos explanations.

Out of all the people that have used jano's services, i have not seen / heard of a ligitimate problem. Hype made up through jelousy perhaps.

I have not got something of that quality on my car tho - his plates are not usually of that quality We have done 4 efi conversions using jano's plates and they was all good quality! Im sure if he was unhappy all he had to do was call jano and explain why and he would have exchanged it he is a helpfull chap

I didn't think Jano's work would be that bad?

I mean, he did rip it off of someone else's hard work, so you'd like to think he had a reasonable starting point

I know the guy who USED to do his machine work. I dont think he does it any more. That might be why the shite quality item has surfaced. The guy now works for London underground.

I love the white cabrio to bits and has been VERY tastefully put together. I would like to have a cabrio just like this. I will have to say though that its hardly pushing the RS Turbo engineering boundaries to the limit. I have had limited dealings with Jano on a more complicated project and I must say I wont be dealing with him again. He let me down very badly!

Although the Guy is sound enough to deal with and I fully respect the guy has MANY satisfied customers. Just bear in mind the size and complexity of the job before you hand over your hard earned!

I take ratboys stance on this one. Jano is great for getting bits off. And doing standard cossie management.

I dont think its his fault that piece was not machined correctly.

What do you drive ratboy are you local to him?
