Any of you Wally converts checked in on the young bloke asking for procedural guidance / mechanical options after being left stranded by Walkinshaw with his broken w457?
Like all the chain brand bullshitters happy to steal your money in exchange for a cam or supercharger at double cost, pathetic when it comes to the crunch.
Why on earth would you buy a 224 cam, valve springs, air cleaner and exhaust for $10k (apart from spinning a tale to get mods past the missus)?
I mean what do you think you actually paid for that’s not covered under consumer law?
Good advice, dependable engineering? FFS look beyond the sticker.

Sorry Monstar.... I lost all my respect for you after this post. People have the right to choice. It may not be your choice. BUT to mock them for it is just :mad:

Don't be sorry, don't know you or your posts from any of the others, and assure you my vehement alert regards Walkinshaw and its personnel as a corporation, is not directed at anyone personally.
Happens that Wally is derivative from Walkinshaw not mocking any member's pseudonym even, never mind the person behind it, is nevertheless an appropriate pun for fools who defend the ridiculous spend for a badge and bugger all eh?
Walkinshaw is a multimillion dollar brand-owning franchise ripping JC members off daily, respect that or not, is dodgy practice.
Why do I care? Because some people genuinely believe they are covered by superior guidance and products guaranteed by an iron-clad warranty. Recent events with W457 kit has come to light which is disgraceful and actionable, yet young bloke caught in it is being whitewashed.
Defend the badge blindly, after reading the kit spec and what happened, with young bloke up shit creek no clue.

So if I buy any product cheaper than you...Then your the wally??? Price is relative to how much you have or haven't!
If I buy coffee for $5. I have a coffee machine at home. Am I a wally for buying a $5 coffee?
People shoudn't be judged by their purchases.;)

Not the unconscionable price alone, the whole false premise of WIWO dependable engineering (when is rebranded and marked up at silly margin) and manipulation of consumer rights embodied in the act.

Five bucks for coffee and it had better come out of a rare palm civet cat's arse and served by Charlize Theron.

Monstar, what do you do for a living?

From memory wine?

How do you ever find the time to post so often on here?

I find your posts intelligently written (although I will admit to being confused occasionally) and I am more of a observer than a contributor here...... but genuinely wonder where you find the time?
