Well this has all stalled really - through no fault of my own.
Process West FMIC was ordered via RCM back in late August - originally on a 2-3 week lead time. So car was booked in with RM Performance for early October to have everything fitted and Dyno day at Thwaites Development to have the Simtek installed and the new parts remapped in.
2-3wks came and went and the message from RCM was that it had been delayed and would be another 2-3 weeks max.
These came and went as well and so I had to cancel my RM Performance slot and also the booking with Thwaites.
Then the update coming from RCM was it would be here end Oct (so another 2wks) so giving an extra week to be sure - I rebooked RM Performance and Thwaites Dyno time for 3rd November.
You probably know where this is going...................the two weeks and then extra third week are upon us and RCM now state it won’t be with me until MID-DECEMBER!!!!!!!
Now this is not anyone’s fault - the supplier I purchased from has always kept me updated when I have asked, and RCM by all accounts have had a delay due to Process West having manufacturing issues and delays etc and then the goods being put on sea container rather than air freight and then replacement items not be available to re-ship via air freight blaaa blaaaa blaaaa...
However - this is actually the second time I personally have had issues with RCM supplying parts in a row... the first being 4 months ago when some parts I ordered for a colleague took 1.5 months to arrive when they were originally quoted as being in stock! And these weren’t coming from abroad (Process West are in Aus). Apparently it took 1.5 months to powder coat an induction trumpet!!
Anyway - like I said - this is an update on my project (albeit a frustrating one) and doesn’t intend to foul mouth RCM or any suppliers........ it’s just me having a rant
So hopefully after Christmas the car will be booked in and have all the parts fitted and mapped in...
