Platinum Grey Leon FR TDI Hybrid - The End!

Forge delayed again to May.

Think I will change thread title.

I'm waiting for *forge delayed until 2012* lol. They are taking the pi55 now

 

[jonjay]

I feel its very unprofessional of Forge. The initial date I moved my private appointments round to accomodate it and then when it was delayed I done the same in April. I expect more tbh.

Thanks for getting back to me. Autosport is Jan 14-16th?

Is it possible to get a date on when this development will actually happen? Reason why I am pressing is because its a problem for me at the moment (and the past two years) and something I want to resolve. What I don't want to happen is wait until January and then get told you have other project and it wont be until March.

I appreciate you guys are very busy and I also appreciate you guys taking the time to discuss, I really do. However we been without/waiting for a company likes yours developing for the diesels for 6-7 years!

Not only came true but worse...waiting 6 months now.

Dunno how you can be arsed to wait - this is one of the reasons I moved on, you get to a certain point and you hit a brick wall.

Empty promises lead to empty order books!

Ibiza Mk5 Paint Correction Detail #Update April Cleanup

As promised more pictures.

Gave her a good wash this morning and finished her off with some 3M Quik Wax which I am very very impressed with.

I am wondering that too. Feel let down on a number of levels so far by Forge.

The only company so far that i've seen you get good service from is H&S but then you do get what you pay for

I could buy a forge big race IC or a universal one. Give the car to H&S as they will fit, do pipework and everything.

 

[UncleFester]

Honestly ... money aside, if it's the last thing in the chain that is making the car not as good as it could be, why not do just that then H&S can sell a complete boost system and Forge can go sing!

You'd be happy and you know that the quality of the work is spot on

Yup might have to start saving for that.

 

[rikronboy]

that is a serious amount of upgrades, wow.

Cheers hopefully more to come.

Kris @ Forge has booked me in for 16th May. If it doesnt happen this time I will get H&S to do it.

 

[brad1]

I bet this gets delayed again! But time will tell

 

[jonjay]

Yay boost leak again! Same old problems with the IC setup, really tiring now.

 

[Husbandofstinky]

Not what you want to hear, but you have my sympathies.

 

[jonjay]

Going to try and speak to kris@Forge and get a definitive answer as to whether the forge dev is going through.

Today I went to AmD to have a look at what popped off hose wise. To our surprise it was the new H&S straight section of the turbo outlet. Over time he jubilee clip worked it's way lose so slowly been losing boost pressure over weeks which explains why the car had good days and bad days. We put two clips over same section and fook me the car is mentally quick again. So what did we learn

1) the silicone joiners need more silicone so we can put thicker t-bolts or mikalore clamps.
2) this never ending boring saga won't be resolve until us 150pd people have a good solution.
3) the car is out performing the intercooler and pipework in it's current form. We are confident with a bigger intercooler and no boost leaks I should I have of the quickest hybrids around.

I had a real good chat with Shaun@AmD. He was very supportive and given me a fantastic option if the forge thing falls through. This had really given me hope but hey kris@forge said he will pull through for us.

Sooooo for the moment car is feeling very quick with the boost leaks temporarily solved. Roll on May!!!
