they cant do anything to void your warranty as long as any work has been carried out by a vat reg garage using correct grade of oil and subaru parts (i.e oil filter) Graeme

Yea that was Rons write up for the Monkeys Trunk after his visit over here a couple of years ago (I wonder who that nutter he was talking about was ) edit haha, just notice i am in that picture too ...hint look upside down graeme

you taken the dumpvalve off to have a look at the gasket? should be cheap from the dealers if it is that, if not any of the ones mentioned above would be good Graeme

Will give Paul another phone on Monday to try again Also just put a ticket on the Euromillions for tonight, I recon with all the bad luck I have been having recently I must be due for a break!! Graeme

Nice one G-Unit, look forward to see you driving it in anger!

I can assure you if I could find out where this Villa is in Spain I would be driving over there (with the van!)to get my cash plus expenses! what I want to do to the rest of his posessions cannot be typed on a public forum

All Payments were made through Paypal, about 50% of the funds ($5000) was put on the card back on the 4th of December, the rest was funded through paypal from my Debit card. All monies were sent for the purchase of goods and not gift. Phoned paypal this morning and they say there is nothing they can do Graeme

Well I didnt see this comimg When I was looking to get my new engine built I did alot of research and came down to contracting Ron Williams of www.raw1performance.com to build my new engine. I know people with his engines in their cars and I know people who have bought parts from him without any problems and all the feedback I could find on the net was about 99% posative lots of emails and phone calls back and forth, lots of information etc etc passed and he was happy to let me pay up my engine build due to my unforseen engine failure back last October. Anyways by the 5th of June my engine and Cosworth dry sump system are fully paid for and my engine is shipped to me at the start of August minus the dry sump from Cosworth as they are "waiting for the last of the parts to be machined" So I now have my engine minus the sump so I contact Cosworth asking them what the lead time was going to be on my sump on the 11th of August and didnt receive a reply from them so I send an email to Ron on the 12th August as can be seen below a few days later we hear that he has been involved in a horrific car crash taken from another forum I have no reason not to believe this so send hime a get well soon email to which I got this auto reply So I leave it a month to let himself get back to the States and start recovering before asking him about the sump as his health is more important than a sump. I am just about to go to bed this morning and decide to see if I can find any information regarding Ron and his recovery before trying to contact him and I found this thread had been updated somewhat since the last time I read it' date=' my heart sank!!! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1970473&page=8 I contacted Sean who used to do contract work for Ron helping to build engines etc etc by email and I quickly got a response due to it being 0130 AM here and tea time over in the States asking me to call him which I did. my worst fears were confirmed that Ron had done a runner with at least $70,000 of customers money who had either paid for engine builds or ordered parts in the previous couple of months to Ron leaving to go to the Czech Rep that had contacted him since all this came out. I also found out that Ron Williams wasnt even his real name and that it was Mike Strubberg AND he had never been in a crash. It turnes out that he had got in trouble with the Police as a kid (early teans) and was on parole and wasnt allowed to leave his home state so he supposidly cloned his step brothers identity and so Ron Williams was reborn. Sean had been working for Ron off and on for 3 years and the other year there he was asked amongst others if they could provide a character referance for him as he was applying to the courts or something to get a passport (was late and was in shock) and this is where we find out his real name was Mike Strubberg, anyways the conversation goes on and a pretty poor picture is painted. At the same time Rons wife is posting pictures of a crashed car she is also selling off all the items out the house and their vehicles and buying plane tickets. It turnes out form other sources that Ron met his family in Dublin a few weeks ago and has supposidly paid for a years rent in a Villa in Spain that is just about finnished being built. So going back to my first Quote in this post I phoned Cosworth USA this evening (due to time difference) and ask to speak to Kyong. Kyong did not want to discuss Rons account with me. After I explained the situation he informed me that they do not have any kits in stock and they did have 2 kits reserved for Ron but these were never paid for and that Ron had never received or was sent any dry sump kits from Cosworth so it looks like I have been stung for the best part of $3000 (approx £2100 - £2200) Sorry for such a long post Graeme

Duncan at Hypertec has got one as well now mine will be off the road till the new year (I hope not any longer than that) Graeme

Pugit 205 V12 madness Graeme

http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150654 hope to have the car back up and running early in the new year. Look forward to catching up ps you never grow up, I'm still as childish as I ever was (esp with a drink in me...lol)

Aye no bad, Forum been far too quiet since you left!!!!!!. My motor has been off the road for almost a year due to a little spark plug incident. Looking forward to the return of Winston.....hahahahahaha

Could this be the late great Gumball making a return??????

I'm working

Well anyone who wears one of these deff has a "problem" (at least he took off the gay red scarf thing he was wearing round his neck earlier on, must have been hiding some love bites or something)

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I have to nip over to Rothesay tomorrow to pick up my dads engine lift so might pop over once I am done to point and laugh at the tassles (the joys of free ferry fares ) Graeme

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-11174855 A couple of knuckles will be getting wrapped Shame as the police on the most part do a good job, just a shame that a few seem to want to give themselves a bad name. Going by the state of the car in the video they must have been going at some speed. Here hopes the residents get their gardens fixed and even though the driver appeared to be drunk lets hope he gets a new car out of it Graeme

:rotfl: :rotfl:

edit...guess who was drunk last night Graeme

lol Graeme

Nice, and I am glad to see that you have the fastest colour of Subaru

I went for Ron at http://www.raw1performance.com/ for my build, he has excellent coms and will try to save you money where he can but unfortunately he has been in involved in a nasty car accident in the Czech Republic last week so may well be out of action for a while http://stlsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php...news!/page3 Again I cant recommend Ron enough Graeme

Well I may not win that one, but would have good fun taking part Graeme

I have looked long and hard at my finances and unfortunately I just cant make it work esp as I have just had to replace my computer today Good luck with the sale Al Graeme

thought Jac got into the 39's, well at least that was the time I saw on his timeslip?
