oh yeah, what was this about again? ?:tongue:

i don't think it is very useful when people just start slating suppliers, that's why there is a section called 'good guys' for keeping things positive. especially in big companies it is easy for one person to have a bad customer experience when 000's of others are happy. with this DD thing though, they aren't going to be doing 000's of engine conversions a week. they will be doing a few and hoping to generate a good name for themselves. where a long standing user on here, dizzie, has a crap experience it is well worth letting fellow dub enthusiasts know about it. he worded it all very clearly, wasn't having a right old rant, just stating what happened. fair enough i think?

I'd agree with what you say there jv and Dizzie has certainly kept his calm and been quite objective really and backed up all his complaints and problems with evidence and he's certainly no reason to make false acusations against anyone. I'm guessing DD aren't going to get in the Good Guys section this year then ! :laugh:
......now officially dubless.

I only told me story because all of a sudden there were others with similar conversions with unfortunally similar poor workmanship. I think the dub public have a right to know how their cars might turn out. it seems the only people that don't have a bad word to say about DD are the ones that are friends with matt.

Sorry to drag this old thread back up. Club GTI has no ties with Designa Dubs, i just thought i would make that clear. Threads shouldnt have been deleted unless they were libelous or slanderous. Occasionally, a retailer/specialist will threaten action on Club GTI if the threads arent removed, and to save hassle thats what happens. Just wanted to make that clear. :)

one of the admin who is friends with DD he feels he can delete the posts he doesn't agree with! He shouldn't be taking it personaly in my view!

thats weak..  oh well.........




Well no prizes for guessing that the Admin you are hinting at is me.

I have no idea who you are, nor do i care particularly - yes i've been friends with Matt for a long time - we met when he helped fix my mk1 golf when i was stuck on a sunday afternoon and risked jail if i couldn't get back to work that evening. He didn't get anything in return, no money, just spent three hours on the phone to me talking through dozens of things to try on my car.

Since then i decided that he was probably a good bet for working on my car - so far he's worked on three mk2's, my 200sx, and now my V6 cavalier. Over the years he's saved me thousands of pounds over going elsewhere and has come up with some amazingly inventive fixes that have saved me time and money.


But that doesn't mean i'd run the CGTI forum to suit him - it seems pretty stupid of you to make assumptions as to what happened to a thread on a forum, and then spread them over the internet as fact.

The facts are - you are wrong. So how about you wind your neck in and we'll forget about the name calling?
