They went under a while ago...

They are infamous for messing people around, bodge jobs, poor customer service etc...

I and several other members have dealt with them in the past and learnt our lessons.. Don't bother them, they're busy

search for pete rosenburg on sxoc to hear more..

What has everyone bought off them out of interest?

I have his mobile no. if you need it.

The main problem at SE is the shite customer service. This stems from shite employees, which is where the mistakes happened.

Everyone slates them off, but they must have done some good work to have been going for the 8 or so years they existed. Everyone hears about a poor job, but many people rarely hear about a good one.

I agree i have seen some good work too..

however the work they did for me on my first car was a bodge for the price, took forever to do, and reasons for delays were found to be lies, also they failed to helicoil my cyl. head properly.. kinda leaves a bitter taste

after seeing some examples outside of their premises on my first visit i was confused as to what had happened with mine and many others

Well our newest member is Pete Rosenburg

Its quite a coincidence, If its him i would hope he would introduce himself and and let us know the latest news his end,

It may be someone fooling around with a bogus registration. An Ip check can be made after posting if it comes to it..

Welcome to s12oc Mr Rosenburg

shaun's just read it, the only couple of things i can slate SE for are, not putting a paddle clutch in when i asked for one, the six months it took them to get my forgies from america, more like a slow boat from china, taking so long to do the job and not wanting to speak to me when they had most of my money oh and no porting, well not any that would make any differece , the rest of the engine was well sorted, it must have been to stay together for so long 38k and still got the honing marks, mind you i do look after the damn thing,new plugs,new oil filter, castrol rs 10/60 every 3 months from new, never fail.

I think this thread started after that member came on...

My head was ported and polished like he said. Just not by much pmsl...

My major issue was TIME. Fuck me it took years to get him to do stuff in the end.

My old Silvia had some great work done by SE, of course I didn't own it when it was done so I can't comment on customer service!
