imp paul - 14/2/08 at 06:47 PM

i went to a firm in barnsley who said that he can make me a exhaust manifold for my zx12r turbo engine and i thought all was cool i gave him a dummy engine to work with and a zx12 manifold to chop up for the collers and a turbo flange he also came to see the car and told me the cost wasŁ450 and five weeks later he let me down and said he is to busy and can not make it it pisses me off whene people do poo like this so now i have to start again

Paul,

Give Martin a ring at MK Engineering. He turned my car around in a week.

Hope this helps,

Andy

The world of full of people who over promise and under deliver. There is nothing worse than the excuses, half truths and complete fabrications you are forced to swallow when dealing with people like this.

I tried Martin at MK when I needed mine for my ZX9 about September, October, He said he don't do them and to try t'other MK. Who incidentally gave me a right run around too. I sympathise with you mate.

That would be MK Sportscars - not MK Engineering.

I'm surprised you even bothered with anyone else but Martin at MK Engineering.

Or in this case an utter lack of complete fabrications
