View Full Version : Flywheel skimming in Plymouth????
Is there anyone in Plymouth that can do this????
Prob Alan Jeffreys no doubt (They are normally very good on prices :))
If you find somewhere else let me know, as I may need mine done very soon. (as clutch is slipping)

Tell me about it bud. :mad:
i'll give Al a shout in the morning:thumbs:
Thankfullly, RWD cars make it easier to get the clutch/flywheel out :D
Just remember your torque wrench when putting in back in :)
Matthew
Hi, have you checked with M.D? we can skim stuff at work, he did someones head the other week.
Nope ,didnt know he could do it. Hows the car Mike???
He's probably still out driving on the new HSD's ;)

My car is not healthy, had it in a garage last week to hav the engine done, but they did no work-:cry: instead went for a joyride in my car, caind the clutch, and curbed one ov my nice 18" rims. :censored:AM NOT HAPPY,, Avoid A.P Motors.
I havnt had time 2 fit the HSD's yet, because of that, Oh and The woman who lives accross the road from me, didnt see my bright YELLOW s13 wen trying 2 park her cruddy little chicken paxo(saxo) an took a chunk outa my front end,,,:rant: Why do i have such bad luck? Anyways, i will be fitting the HSD's as SOON as i get car back from bodyshop,, hopefully the end of the week!:thumbs:

Mate that is shit with A.P!! Did you give them shit, are tey going to sort the damage out etc?
The damage is AP MOTORS liability. Do not get fobbed off whatever you do. If you need someone to help sort it out - call Channie lol. (love you dude :P). But seriously, that is crap.. repaired or replaced wheel and clutch etc. And yes, A.P. Motors do have a bit of a bad rep for s**t like this they pull.
Sorry to hear about the dink, but since you know who it is.. I assume she told you etc. Don't be mad at her, accidents happen mate, unlike AP who clearly just fecked you around.
Matthew
Yeah if you need some help give me a shout... i'l go have words... dont accept any crap from them... they are going through some hard times but that isnt acceptable...

I've heard some horror stories similar to this involving customers Skyline being driven around in the middle of the night....its not good! :mad:
If they are 'testing' it (as they do work nights I believe) then fine, if they are driving it around town, or generally just ragging it then there's defo a problem. AP seem to have a habit of this though :(
Gary> Let us know where you get the work done :)

Will do.
Have you got this sorted yet? I spoke to Matt in work last night, and he said skimming it for you shudnt be a problem, providing it is already off the car, and he/we can find time in-between running machines....
As for A.P Motors, i havnt even botherd moaning at them, because i know there would be no point,:annoyed: they would only deny it,(like any garage would) and make me out to be a liar. All i can do is warn other drivers away from there,,,,:mad::mad::mad:
I would send a formal letter, and let it be known that it is an 'open' letter to the rest of the member on the SXOC, and possibly elsewhere.
Matthew
Dropping a very nasty note to UJCC would be a good idea seen as they generate most of AP's work :S
Not had this done yet as i dont know if it needs doing tbh.

How it going with repairs etc, and how you getting on generally with the car? Have you managed to fit the HSD's yet?

You had a peak at it yet Gary or too much else going on? I know mine has last getting to JAE and back then at least part way through september.

Next tuesday mate, my cousin is doing it and is getting Paul Inch to skim the flywheel. I haven't got time to it myself.
Update,
Ive had the flywheels skimmed and clutch fitted. Ive got a Exedy paddle clutch now and still bedding it in only 250 miles to go but already the diiference is :eek: amazing.
Well pleased with it takes a while to used to the pedel feel but im getting there.
A paddle clutch?! Blimey mate, your not doing things by halves! Must be a nightmare in traffic?
How much was the skim?
I'm just waiting for my new clutch to turn up now, will hopefully getting slip free motoring soon :D

It cost about 60quid mate, im still getting used to the paddle and letting it bed in only 150 miles to go:wack:
Who was the skim with, and was it a one day job?
