View Full Version : ok ok ...R-Tec is poo!!!
Was very happy, R-Tec phoned me and said my Green Cotton Induction Kit was in stock ....so 2day I went down
.....Got home, Instructions were in FRENCH & it didnt fit cos those chimps had ordered me a single point injection kit, rather than a multipoint injection kit :mad:
....so anyway, to prove to them I wasnt just an incompetent kid with a spanner ...they took my car into the garage & confirmed da problem.
Got home .....saw the bonnet wasnt even shut properly, and I was doing average speeds of 80 - 90mph on the A1 & M25 ...could have been quite dangerous!
.......got a full refund, never going back! Nuf said, complete terd
:sick: R-TEC
Adrian Ripp who owns it was probably looking in the mirror instead............anyone who knows him will understand!!!!!!!!!
Are you 2 guys coming to the SEAT meet in Hatfield on Sunday??
14:00 @ Galeria MacDonalds.
I have only had good experiences with Extreme (when the Ripps were owners), and now R-tec.......
yeah but Adrian himself doesn't know a lot about cars?

Oh bugger. Shall I or shall I not trust them to fit a new set of F1's onto my car in two weeks time then?
Maybe I'll give Elite a buzz instead...even if they are further away.
Not having any cowboy mechanics work on my car thats for sure.

the meeting on Sunday ...I am gonna try and make it for around 3ish ... how long u guys gonna b stuck around for?
I assume everyone will be fashionably late ;)
However, aint much day light around at the mo.
*shame I dont have the mods I want yet* :rolleyes:
gonna b another couple of weeks yet :P
Dont have much 2 show, except for silly amounts of bass ;)
Dave, how do you know Rippy? He sponsered a Car Event that I can ran last year and as you say he aint the brightest tool in the box when it comes to cars but then again neither am i lol!
Lee, I have had some stuff done at Elite in Rainham and they are fine...watch the Speed Camera just outside tho!
X Treme have always been okay and half the staff left X Treme to go to R Tech so its no different really!

Recently, R-Tec also gave myself and a mate crap quotes. They reckoned £100ish for lowering springs and labour, then the next time we were in, quoted £160ish :repuke:
Also sold my mate rear clusters imported from Germany, which means the single reverse light he has is on the wrong side!! They didnt think 2 tell him?!?!?
Elite looks wikkid, very much the same kinda place as Pro-Tyre on the A10, which I recommend.
For electrics, I recommend In Car Electronics in Edmonton, on Turkey Street. Top people, both companies have a good reputation by word of mouth, which is what I will rely on in the future, for future mods.
You were very lucky i know a chap who had a shitty saxo lowered there. Whilst driving home the power steering pipe that had been left laying on the drive shaft by R-Tec expired nice.
