Default The Torque Team

As many of you would be aware of my engine failure last year due to The Torque Team in Brisbane, I have been made aware of another FF.AU member that has suffered a similar story.
What I would like to know is, who else has had dealings with them, and do you have any stories to tell?

Well I certainly did, and the other member I refer to has, but we both got no where. Its the same story that I got, just 6 months later.
If people prefer to PM me with experiences thats ok too.
Basically, with my experience with them, I am now dedicating alot of my time to help this new case, and get his engine repaired, paid for by The Torque Team.

If anyone has had similar experiences, it could help our plight.

Both cars had engines expire with little work on them.
Alot to do with improper head and valve geometry. Coil bind, roller lifters rotating, all messy stuff.

I've had similar via another workshop I used many many years ago. It's annoying to pee money into the wind.

He has not been part of the Forums for 6 years so sending a message wont work. Anyone else want to help out send a PM to BMap. Thanks
