STOLEN PARTS

Afraid it appears Hypersports of Wigan have gone bump and a customer has lost several thousand pounds of parts which appear to have been removed from their premesis without his permission.

I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone offered or see's for sale parts on the list below.
I'll update the list as i get serial numbers etc


3.4 Litre strocker kit, studs, bearings and mounts
Brand New V160 gearbox

Well done Dunk. Full story here.
I hope he manages to recover some if not all his parts. I can't imagine how he must feel at the moment.

I just thought it cant hurt to put the word around incase some dumb thief trys flogging the parts on ebay or on a club site.



I'd be buying some help and finding the owner, if you know what i mean.

Wow, gone bust. I thought they always did such great work !

Guess it's the way of the economy at the moment.

Apparently not. Even Adam has admitted to them doing sub standard work, in his opinion. This must have taken some guts after praising them so much, fair play to him

Thanks Kev yes it did take some guts but i had never had any bad work done by them on my car so in my eyes they were not a bad trader so it was a hard one to call. After see the workmanship or lack of on my good friends car was shocking, but as Dunk has said i will also be looking for the stolen parts as it is shocking that they have gone missing.

I think that is a matter of opinion.

Adam, I think you looked (and probably still are) at them through rose tinted spectacles. If you go back and look at your 'Supra is at Hyper sr for single turbo' thread there are a lot of different people asking you questions as things didn't seem quite right. But you chose to put your faith in the ability of Hyper SR.

For my part I asked questions in the early stages but gave up after a while as it seemed you didn't feel confident to question your tuner on his decisions. In the past I have seen nice guys like you come along and get all wrapped up in the 'going single' band wagon and when you start questioning theirs or their tuners decisions you get seen as an antagonist; so nowadays I tend to just let things go after a while.

In your case the final point for me was when you proudly posted your Youtube video, and my thoughts at the time were I would have gone absolutley ape if a tuner had started my car like that with half the pipework missing.
