Didn't we buy an 'uprated' gearbox on the same trip that turned out to be totally standard apart from some syncro teeth removed?!

keep this on page 1, these ripoff merchants would love this to slip away and forgotten about.

If anyone else has been ripped off by ATM motorsport post it on here and complain to STU hopefully get them banned on this site.

Uprated??? no it was supposed to be a Quaife Bigtooth Rallybox with modified baulk rings for a superfast change...

It was standard as far as we know now. but to be fair it was a very nice and newly rebuilt standard box by the looks of things and it was cheap. Soooo as I said they do get some good bits just be careful!

I have not bought anything from them, but on my inquiry for Gp A wheel studs, the price they quoted was pretty much inline with everywhere else.....until you get to the shipping.

$90 (USD) to ship wheel studs seems completely ridiculous to me....so I won't be placing an order

I'm glad I read this *before* plunking down some of my hard-earned cash

I once spoke to Andy ref a WRC spoiler for my escort Cossie, said he had one and I did check with him 3 times before travelling the 6 hour round trip,when I got there it was for a mk6 F2 car, simaler to an Escort WRC, but deffo wouldn't fit a Mk5 Escort cosworth,I'd of thought he'd of known better,it's pretty obvious it wouldn't fit. I wasn't happy at all!
I await your pm Andy, maybe an apology could be put in it, as I didn't get one at the time!

why do people insist on behaving like this???? I've used pete at ashfield before and he was 110% spot on, even took the sump and some main caps off for me to inspect the crank before I bought the engine, I've used paul @ north yorks before, and would happily use either of them again, surly repeat business and reccomendations to friends is much more important than making Ł50 of some shonky parts that will give you grief and hassle when peole get upset cos they been done?
FFS learn to run a business or stop trying to rip enthusiasts off, with the internet the country is a much smaller place now, so people will quicky learn who to use and who to aviod

the spoiler thing happened to me too! i contacted andy and he confirmed the spoiler was a genuine wrc one so i sent lee (porkie) who live local with a bundle of cash and he bought it for me... when i finally met up with lee and tried it on a tailgate and it was obvious that it was a mk6 one i later learned from a couple of other people that they had already told atm previously that the spoilers were not wrc ones when lee took it back they would only give him goods to the value!!

feel free to pm me with your apology too!

Well you were right on the part about this being a site for genuine ford enthusiasts (i think this was the word you were looking for as quite a few peeps on here dont actually own a ford).

But anyways, enthusiast sites, all share there good OR BAD feedback on most companies, as you will see if you look around the site, I didn't think looking out for each other made you a wanker??!!

As far as I see it, all these peeps aren't gonna make up stories just for the sheer hell of it, if ATM they were such a great company, Im sure they would have been on here apologising not sending snotty PMs to everyone......FFS they treat customers like shit they are gonna get a bad feedback......I for one wont be using them...so THANKS FOR THE WARNING PEEPS!!!

Shooter if you had been a member for more than 5 days then you would have seen many, many post's on the general forum bigging up people who have done good work on people's cars and also those who have supplied quality goods so don't come on here slagging people off for telling the truth, I do not like being ripped off and I do not want to see anybody else being ripped off either!

I add to this that no one who has complained about ATM on here has told anybody else not to buy off of them all we have done is explain how we have been treated so that they can make informed choice before dealing with them.

Seriously - I wouldn't let it wind you up - this tosspot is obviously something to do with ATM........no need for coming slagging people off just for looking out for each other......obviously nothing better to do with their time than TRY to start an argument
