​​​​​Wasn't aimed at you but does also depend where you source your parts from as my turbo and twisted kit was 2nd hand ..

maz

 

yeah I knew the history of my turbo and was low miles so went with it ,,, brought my RCM rotated kit brand new for my blob but doesn't make it any better than a second hand kit as long as it works as it should thats the main thing

 

Everything too expensive is it cheap skate ?
ecu too dear
clutch too deAr
Rotated too dear
turbo too dear let get a cheapie non billet yoke from America
forged engine already in car
Mapping too dear don’t pay for it must be gobbling your fella for services rendered
standard suspension too
what have you actually paid for ?

 

Its fine if you have an inconel exhaust and other WRC parts in your loft along with water cooled calipers and a 5k set of Reigers ..............

 

 

Leave him alone he's a Scotchman

 

seriously guys can we not just give this a rest now as its starting to sound a little pre-school now..............

 

i have considered a twisted kit but its an expense i dont think i can deal with at the min. i did see a 2nd hand rcm kit on ebay for £900 but it didnt look complete.

 

Give it a rest guys...

Not everyone wants to / can spend thousands of pounds on random stuff that may (or may not) make things better. Sometimes we have to make do with cheaper bits, or bits we already have, or second hand bits etc etc.

Also, for a hobby (let's be honest, none of us are Carlos seinz), what's the harm in trying something cheaper to see if it works or not.

If it doesn't work, you've learned something, and if it does work, then great, it works.


Also, let's be clear... It's easy to be a cheque book tuner nowadays, with all the easy credit around, so almost everyone on this thread COULD get the absolute best ECU, with the best turbo, best exhaust blah blah by spending money (if they prioritised that way), so IMO it's all the more impressive if you can do it yourself without relying on a supplier selling you their vision (or more likely in many instances, what generates the most profit for them).

 

Now wrong with 2nd hand bits . My complete engine was 2nd hand . 5 k or so miles. Turbo was off a sprint car . Brakes was 2nd hand . Headers 2nd hand . Front mount 2nd hand . What a cheap skate I am . Lol

 

Cant see where the cost is in the rotated kits,

Would be far cheaper to get one fabbed up

 

well its a work in progress ,, meaning it works and I drive it until a part needs upgrading ,, got a rotated kit , got a closed deck 2.1 , got a spare 6 speed , got a twin plate waiting ,, anything else I need laying around lol,, try buying gobstopper billet uprights and subframes new as there worth more than your car and thats only a couple of the parts iv got for my track build so buying expensive parts isn't a problem when there needed

 

Well said.

This is my personal motivation too. I don't use credit cards or loans for my hobbies or cars. If I can't afford it, I don't do it. All my toys are upgraded within my means by myself wherever I can. To be honest it's more fun and rewarding that way. I'd always do whatever I could myself, so long as it's not eating into valuable family time.

I have no problem with second hand parts, if they suit my needs and budget. Job done!

 

 

At what point do you "need" to uprgade to Gobstopper billet uprights or subframe tho ?

 

 

Don't "need" an ecu tho.....

 

when your building a wrc spec car and nothing else fits due to it being a completely different set up

 

no,, its clear as day that I don't NEED the ecu as my car is working just fine and has been for while unlike others who sit on the driveway cry wanking and blaming others as they can't build a car that works

 

 

Rcm Uprights & a subframe on a classic dnt make a wrc car....quite alot more to it....

 

 

 

It is a forum and everyone is free to speak their mind, but let's try not make it personal chaps. Everyone is allowed their own choices and opinions and shouldn't get attacked over their own likes and decisions like Domino has. Domino has always been a very friendly and helpful member.

Raggy, I like you and we've always got on just fine. Think you're a nice bloke.

smurfy, I've found your posts on most threads now to be getting more aggressive and pointed towards other member's. You're obviously allowed your own opinion but feel it's your way or no way and seem to be purposely rubbing people the wrong way. I've had to step away from threads where you've been pushing things too far unnecessarily. Just give people some space and courtesy please. I'm sure you're a nice chap too and I don't have issue with you and don't wish to start an argument. We all need to get along.

 

 

Sad but true Busta.

The issue is there are a lot of genuine members on here with good quality real world experience and respectful attitudes such as yourself, who get turned away from this place as I too have sometimes when things get unnecessarily nasty.

 

 

The problem there is that folk can do research and find the world is flat with loads of links and proof to back it up....

Theres always more than 1 way of doing something, especially if u want to do it on budget or avoid buying parts u been told u dont need.

Far too many snowflakes spreading mis information.

The real experts are too nice not to slay these fools publicly and therefor a yes / no question becomes a debate.

However with the amount of idiots and folk who would still try disagree with facts you cant blame them as they would be forever doing that and never get anything else done.

 

Lets not confuse opinions with facts

Your butthurt as i says ur sub 1k meisters were chinatown BS same as my cheapo BCs. Certainly not "proper" suspension by any means. Just cheap crap like most of the budget stuff.

Domino is too because his inferior ECU is holding his car back and the wrc parts he wipes the dust off once a month could have bought one to have it running better and safer.

 

Once again, your confusing your opinion with fact and slating people on their own experience and opinions.

People like you are the reason this site is going down the pan. Fact.

You can't comment on my suspension, my setup and my choices. Fact.

Stop with the aggressive posts on all members. It's not necessary. Calm your content down for the sake of everyone else.
