Rob_Mitchell Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 SRD and whiffbitz mate are very good options. im having mine built by SRD early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 How far are you wanting to go with the build? I have not had a rebuild carried out, but from what i have heard, i would recommend AFR, Whifbitz or LeeP (AKA SRD). Send each a PM with your requirements and see what they suggest/quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Any established trader on here should be able to help, if it's in their product range. I'd speak to each one with your requirements and see who offers the best package for your needs - then you can make an informed decision.

Matt H Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thread title. So what happens if someone recommends using X for an engine build, but you've had similar work done by X and wasn't happy with them. By your methodolgy, everyone could be recommended.

Every trader has dis-satisfied customers, but you look for the positives and the negatives and take your decision from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 My first choice would be Chris Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem, people with bad experiances tend to shy away from mentioning such on the forums. It's usually only discussed over PM's, or when, in the past, traders have gone, stories start getting told. It's a shame, but that's the way it is. In addition, there always seems to be a lot of recommendations from members with no real first hand experiance of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - and this thread is potentially a huge can of worms so it needs watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
