Default Can you guess which tuner did this???
taken from another forum...


i paid 1000 pounds for bits and peices on my r33 and one of these jobs was to change the headgasket.....

well all done and paid a very over priced bill but i was happy to have the car back....

drop the car off at knight racer a week ago and thanks to albert he has found this...... ANYONE TELL ME WHATS WRONG????????



well just incase ANYONE has missed it i have circled it for you



THATS RIGHT A F**KING ALLEN KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW CAN THEY CHARGE ME 1000 POUNDS AND LEAVE A ALLEN KEY IN THERE!!!!

sorry for the rant but had to get it out of my system, i will be having some kind words with them tonight on the way home.....

i bet that ran well

mind you the company i work for made the engine intakes for the Nimrod MR4A and when they liffted them into position to fit to the plane, a pair of mole grips, a hammer and a rivet gun fell out

the person who owned the tools had also kindly engraved his name on to them too, lol
