badtoyz build thread.

It sucks but you would be amazed how many shops just do things there way. This isn’t just a audi thing You can read across the other makes of cars and it’s the same story.

Mother fucker. If we pull the tranny and the bolts are loose and I don’t see red lock tight somebody’s gettin a right hook.

I would be more concerned that th PP was tightened down in evenly and he warped the springs. Make sure you also check that.

I called the owner of the shop and lost my fucking mind on him. Tranny being pulled first thing Monday morning. I’m trying to be calm until I can see for myself what’s up but I’m fucking livid right now. If installation error fucked up my shit someone will die.

Sorry for the rant but I’m pissed. Should have just done it myself.

Take it easy. If it’s a good shop they will make it right. Make it you vs them though and they may not be so willing to help

Yup and if your not careful they won’t tell you exactly new hats wrong because at that point they will want to cover there butt

Damn that sucks. Hopefully they handle this professionally for you. I’d be livid too, but try and be nice when dealing with them. They’ll be more inclined to take care of you.

Yep. A lot of shops just throw stuff together and hope that it works without reading the instructions.

I think a local shop to me (NGP Racing) has been messing up JHM clutch installs for a little bit because a few people have been contacting me about issues with their JHM clutch kit that was installed by NGP.

if I didn’t spend so much time explaining the issues to the guy I wouldn’t be so mad but I did and he still fucked it up. I just hope and pray that its loose bolts and that’s it.

The good news is it sounds like they are going to try and make it right. Don’t expect them to tell you exactly what it is but it’s got all the signs of the bolts backing out.

Was this issue immediate or did it happen after driving the car for a bit?

It was fine when I left the shop. I put a total of 167 km on it. I went to get a case of beer and noticed it in the drive thru. Clutch engagement right at the floor and clutch not fully disengaging.

Soon as I noticed it i parked the car and haven’t driven it since. That was Friday afternoon.

Tranny being pulled now. Jake I’ll contact u right away if anything is messed up. He swears up and down left and right that he followed the instructions to the letter. Torque spec. Loc tite. tightening pattern. everything.

Good luck man. I hope everything works out.

Any luck?

They found PP bolts in the bell housing, badtoyz murdered the tech, and now there is a man hunt for him…

just a guess

it’s not America though. So he may have punched the guy’s mouth loose, but not likely a murder.

LOL Murder happens everywhere, not just the land of the free :wink:

Take note that nowhere in my post did I say ‘murder only happens in America’ or ‘murder never happens in canada’.

The key to forming a strong argument is to avoid hyperbole and absolute terms like ‘never’ or ‘none’. I said ‘not likely’ as it is far less likely in Canada than it is in America. That’s simply a fact.

Here…enjoy.

Your country is nearly 3 times as likely to have a murder as Canada. That’s pretty significant, for a ‘sophisticated’ country!
