[huakenny]

Shop Signboard : Rockford Fosgate

Problems : All electrical not working in cabin.Burnt fuse.
Solution : Wired directly to battery.Added relays.Cut unused wiring.Change Fuse
Conclusion : No relay added after checking.Unused wiring hidden under carpet.

What do you guys think????

if possible, please fix back... direct wires to battery is good but its considered shortcut jobs to make things easier. this should be last solution if canot fix the said problem

Love this topic. Happened before when i crash my car. Sent to workshop at selayang. Not remember the worshop anymore. Cheat me by using local part. Supposed the car less than 5 years should have original part installed. Just noticed all that when i slowly re do my car. Really sad. Thought the claim my insurance and do a nice job. I make complaint and they want me to leave the car for another months. Totally 3 month the car in workshop. I refuse and ask they to settle in one week. So before chinese new year i get my car. The condition not so satisfied. Complaint again and they say no time. Gonna close for CNY alrready. As to come back after 1 week. But i just ignore it. Since the already done all the major part so just close my eyes for the minor 1. Fix it by myself. So as return i fool around with them almost 8 month after i get the car. They calling me to came to workshop for photo taken and sign the release letter. I just went there back after 8 month i get the car. Some people say what can we do. Workshop do such bad workmanship. Complain to insurance also no action. Some friend say do not get mad. Just think how could not we get mad. We bought a car according to our budget. Hopefully it can serve use better.Some of the workshop just care about $$$$$..

try going to this workshop in PJ/Damansara Jaya go by Jalan SS23/12 and find Botak ( Eric Racing ). u'll know what is going to happen. i read lots of bad remark about him. i even have bad experience with him couple of times but not anymore after going to other workshop.

Hi tmslawz,

You better think a million times before sending your car to eric aka botak. I know one guy who is in shah alam, ah siong who really a specialise in v-tec. fei lo v-tec king student before...

From my experiences, I know this guy, eric tan aka botak for more than 10 years... real pot head or weed head! If he can fix your car then ok but if cannot then it's your funeral man~! he is worst that a women, menopouse all the time... What is his fxxking problem, I dunno but I have recently send my car which he called it a junk... to get my car done same as your problem... fail 3 times till I have to google myself to find out the way to do it. What I can say... Do I need to spend money to get him to fix it and end of the day can't solve but still have to pay money... If he got mood then he layan you or else he layan his thai pussy! that's the best of him.

send your car to someone who can even fix it and those who call themselve specialise in v-tec! eric racing... pui! he thinks the is a vtec specialise but indeed he's not coz simple teory he can't even figure out... his workshop is just a profit centre or just con job... can you believe he charge me for 4 20mm spacer for rm1200... damn!

I have spent more than 10k with my current car and end up like he called... "junk"... I have actually spend more than that.. con more that 10k getting my car modified, converted or shit!

So bloody think a billion times!

Yes, bro... had him converted engine for 2 of my car before. He is an old friend of mine and used to be good in what he do but since he open up his own workshop, workmanship is like

Imagine a one way valve for the brake servo also he doen't know the exact direction to position it. Do you call this person a specialist?

Better send your car to Ah Siong, a little pricey but worth the job done. You will see many powderfull hondas there a well.

hi all. i'm not looking for trouble in this forum but just to share my nightmare experience with so called "vtiak king".. i know what mdjames have gone thru. Of course some people in the forum will try to cover up or blaming the customer's fault instead of eric. Tis guy eric is a one hell of a good liar. In fact got one time i bought super90 throttle body and he installed for me since he claimed that my initial tb is faulty due to timing not stable. After fixing the new ones problem still persist and he said la my idling valve need to change. Why didn't he tell me earlier??? Iam not a rich person that can spend unnecessary money on upgrading because i need to serve my car loan. As i have no choice so i tell him to go ahead but this time the timing only slightly getting better at last he never solve my car problem. Of course i need to get this problem done so he said i can leave my car in the workshop so he can check. The best thing is he didn't do anything on my car but he claimed that he has done it. Without his knowledge i asked one of his workers working temporary (training)there from TOC and he said eric very busy the whole day he didn't touch ur car... Why must he bluff me??? and i keep going to see him or sometimes called him to ask him when he's free but he starts to show his temper already. If he's so holly as he claim go to church, why he still telling lies??? I'm not making up story, i've seen in front of my eyes that a malay customer driving hyundai elantra got fucked from him because of what??? because he got burned when he tried to drain off the gearbox oil so he just suddenly got angry and just leave it like that without completing it. When the customer came to collect the car asking minyak gear sudah tukar??? he replied: lu sendiri tukar lah bodoh and ask the customer to fuck off... the customer just drive away like that because he said korean car are stupid la in fact he just know how to do honda cars but i donno where his honda knowledge go until ???... ohhh some people will trying to say ohhh he had a bad day la or wat la.... as a customer so i have to becareful or check his mood first before i send my car to him ah???? whoever want to believe it or i'm making up the story is up to you. My advise for you if u still wanna send ur car just make sure u are there to see him replacing or repairing ur car. So he is "vtiakcking" we must see his face if not in a good mood? maybe is his way of doing business. Sure his supporter will say no happy don't send anymore la, yes now i send to other workshop i'm so much happy and satisfied now because i don't have to worried whether Eric VTIAK KING got come period or not. Good luck in your business ERIC if ur attitude still like that. by the way i feel sorry for mdjames kena con by him as end of the day he claimed ur car is junk... actually he's the junk who destroy ur car

i think that was pretty decent price (without looking the car condition)

as long as they did the cutting and welding properly considered good enough for me

 

[DanzEterna]

if not mistaken could be DIY, use the old floor board as a template,
then cut it out on the new floor board & glue.......only if u have the time & patience le.

 

[highboost]
