minor update...

emailed Simon at AMD, and he has fwd the email to the guy carrying out the mapping to agree the fitting and mapping dates, most likely in May/June time now

just need to confirm the order for the fuel pump, 4bar etc so everything will then be in place

manifold gaskets and bolts have all been delivered now and picking these up from Seat this Saturday

so now its just a waiting game for the delivery of the ATP turbo and tip (should be soon)

will get some pics up when the rest of all the kit arrives!

updates will next be of pics of the bits and pieces arriving (not exciting I know) but I know you guys love pics of car parts

 

[Willie]

All good dude

By the time the weather gets good you'll be on the road with loads more power and dry roads to test it out on

 

[jamiebennett81]

minor update

been informed by ATP, that the turbo should be arriving in the UK next week now

to be fair to them, they have got a massive backlog of orders, due to running out of stock so they are just playing catch up at the moment

hopefully I will be able to post some pics of it next week

 

[m0rk]

always out of stock after 2 yrs.... that's some business plan

 

[RobDon]

Or due to popular demand!?!

 

[m0rk]

how can you have popular demand for 2yrs? surely after 6 months they'd invest & increase production.

More's the point, I wonder if it's all cash with order? No credit terms, cash up front.

OR (devils advocate hat on here - flame suit on)

Issues on quality effecting deliveries

 

[PhilW]

2-3 weeks. lmao.

 

[ibizacupra]

yea, heard that... 2 weeks.... 8 weeks ago for a mani being made for me.. tick tock..

 

[jamiebennett81]

guys if we have nothing really positive to say, then keep it off this thread

if you have issues with ATP directly regarding quality, delivery etc, then I suggest you go and start your own thread and have it all out on there, this is a build thread, not a witch hunt or "lets have a go at ATP" thread

thank you

 

[DPJ]

It's titled 'progress thread.........'

Unfortunately more like lack of progress at the moment....

It's titled 'progress thread.........'

Unfortunately more like lack of progress at the moment....

indeed, although last time I looked up "progress" the definition was not going on about another companies customer service issues and putting them onto a build thread

and indeed it is slow, like hooch's build thread for example, but you dont see me laying into companies customer service issues on his thread....so lets keep to the thread topic shall we?

not much to ask is it Dave? I think that is a pretty fair statement

 

[DPJ]

Unfortunately, when there's nothing happening in a build thread, you must expect to get some discussion about what's causing the delay. Hooch's thread is different - he has started his.....

Personally, I've bought stuff direct from ATP and I've found their service to be excellent.

 

[davet175]

same here with ATP got all my bits within 10 days and good quality stuff..

as for equal length manis. do have a guy near me who builds them however we either need decent drawings to scale or one to copy and then they can be supplied if thats any help for you too speed up any process....
