Redkop has told me that people are not happy about this post. I have got a hold of daz . The main problem is that the company that was contracted to produce the prepreg carbon fiber parts closed down its compisite work shop. Leaving him unable to produce your parts in pre preg.

Daz is trying to get his own workshop equiped to be able to produce the high quality pre preg carbon products. But it is taking a lot longer than intisapated to get it up and running because of equiptment needed.

Your parts will be made as soon as the work shop is up and running. Daz is sorry for for any inconveniance caused due to these problems.

Adm m has already spoke to him about your products befor i got to talk to him he will keep you informed

I reckon he should give all the money and moulds back until he's in a position to fulfill the orders. Surely thats the least he can do .

Hmm. I suspect that's why you can't have the money back -- you've paid for the equipment.

I think that I am more than entitled to let everyone know what has happened, running my own business myself, I understand all of the problems, but the lack of communication, avoiding calls and all the excuses have just been to much, you should never promise what you can’t deliver.

It is only fare that the snet is used to help owners and make then aware of any problems. As in this case I looks as if a good few thousand pounds has been passed Darren’s way, as well as the opportunity to be lent 22b parts to mould off, to enable him to start his own business, a chance he has now wasted.
eople are not happy with this post? pah,

TOPJIMO, I am not going to be drawn into an argument as i was asked to try and sort this out for you lot. As i was led to believe that when you originaly orderd the blades there were to be done in wet layup carbon. Then after a few were made there was the option of prepreg carbon fiber that offered to you which you were offered which you took knowing that it would take longer to produce.
I have spoke to adam m and he is picking up the bonnets and bumper tommorow.And any wet lay blades that are required. to be picked up contact him.

I contacted this company several times since seeing their products at TRAX this year and have to say that they don't seem all the ticket to me!

They said they had produced a Carbon bonnet for an S13 200sxa dn I asked for pictures to be mailed over to me and for them to inform me of the cost when they had finalised it. I waited a few weks then rang them again. Pics on their way I was told. Next week I got the same guy on the phone, Michael, and whilst on the phone, gave him my email address again and he "sent" them while I was on the phone to him, "on their way now" he said. I'm still waiting for them!

Now given that I'm the Chairman of the SXOC and I told him that if they measure up to the sort of quality we want, I'd be ordering in excess of 15 bonnets, wouldn't you think he'd do better than that?

As soon as Abbey Motorsport have finished mapping the ecu on my S14, my bonnet will be on its way somewhere else for moulding.

My advise, get out now if you can guys!

Dan
