Sorry (actually I'm not) but what have I said in this thread to offend anyone? Ah yes nothing. But carry on I kind of like it when people talk to me angrily it makes my smirk get bigger

Wind it in you pair of fuckwits,it's someone's livelihood you are having a do at here!

Are you calling me a fuckwit? The only fuckwittery here is in your reply.

YOU brought up the question of whether somebody can get hold of Courtenay's on a Saturday and by implication meant that it wasn't possible. In MY experience, it has been. Was that something negative towards MMG? If it was, I can't see how.

Yes, I'm a happy Courtenay customer for supercharger and "official" service related work. I guess MMG is physically closer (and TMS certainly is) but I choose them as they did the SC conversion on my car and are the only people that have the mapping arrangement with Klassen on our converted cars. Would I get better value from MMG, quite possibly and nobody is arguing about that.

If we want to bring damaging peoples livelihoods into the equation, maybe we should look at exactly what the source of MMG's one and only SC mapped ECU is?

Refer to my previous statement Joe. It's the implied nature of your posts that are the issue in my eyes. Like I said banter is one thing but for people learning about products and services they may be put off as a result.

I stand by everything I say Don't like it? There is an ignore button made especially for you

It's better for people to hear all opinions rather than just those that use MMG

Hi all, Where's the VX love everyone? Nice to see healthy banter is alive and well right that's one of my bi annual posts out of the way for this year. I have have learned something through painful experience and that is DONT TUNE YOUR VX!!!!!! Cheers all Ian

People are very touchy tonight. I've used MMG and found Liam to be very helpful and did everything I asked of him and more. I could have gone to CMS and have no hesitation in telling people to use either, I haven't used Jon etc but know how well respected they are. Speak to both Nath, weigh up the pro's and con's (this basically comes down to £££) and go for it. Nev's idea of driving Germany is getting better by the second

No love lost here, turbobob has only stepped up and commented because daronwall started it I imagine he is one of those guys that shouts "hold me back hold me back"

That's fair enough so long as it is genuine and constructive.

[turbobob]

Sounds like Joe is implying some sort of sordid love triangle

My point is cms are a big business who prob could not give a monkeys toss whether the vx220 existed or not as i am sure they probably have larger fish to fry,my beef is that most of Liam's work must come from this one site and any flippant quip could hurt his business,one thing I am sure of is his knowledge of our cars is beyond question and his level of service and ability to improve them is impressive
Now fcuk off

Ok last one and I'm done

People buy people, its a personal thing for the vast majority of serial tuning bods like us (I am a fully paid up member of the moddy club) I have no financial gain from my reccomendations and I am not protecting my livelihood when I suggest to forum members about companies I have used on the occasions that people have PM'd me. We all have our favourites and there are companies which for a variety of reasons I would not use again there products or services. But we all should be objective and look at what's the best mod product or service overall based on say


1. Service performed.
2. Quality of customer service and after sales support.
3. Overall total costs of product or service
4. Time of completion - i.e achievement of target completion time
5. Distance to travel to tuning company
6. Referrals of their products and service
7. Liability issues and monies back policies

The forum should have a seperate tuners sections where they can post and slag each other off all day along and the likes of the poor unfortunates can carry on regardless and in pure ignorant bliss.

As Ken Brittain (of BBR) once shouted out in the paddock to Rudi Eggenberger (Ford's semi official Touring car team) concerning the power outputs of their respective Cossie's

' Rudi how much yer got under the hood of yer cossie's cos, if yer not making 550 horse yer know sh*t'


Cheers all
Ian

Hmm strange that considering he does alot of work with lotus, so actually believe his main business plan is with the lotus chassis'd car as aposed to soley the Vx.

If his business plan is solely for the Vx community where you can buy one for 6k then his business plan is flawed from the start and it will epically fail on its own and not due to myself.

So why don't you go and sit on your intercooler

[darronwall]

I a sure he does a lot of work elsewhere with lotus chassis cars but I am also sure he has a core here and posts like yours earlier in the thread could only do a disservice to him

[The Batman]

Like I said show me the post that bothers you as I don't see one anywhere in this thread

[MrSimba]

one thing I am sure of is his knowledge of our cars is beyond question and his level of service and ability to improve them is impressive

Liam's a top bloke!
