·Just had my HKS GT Extension Kit and Exhaust fitted by Ralliart UK and what an ordeal. I was told to bring the car in first thing (8am) and the job would take 2-3hrs at the most. As I was travelling up from Bristol I thought I would wait..... which I later regretted.
After 3hrs of pacing up and down the showroom and drinking copious amounts of coffee, hot chocolate, tea, knorrs cuppa soup they were still no further with finishing. In fact by that time all that they had managed to do was assemble the exhaust. 4hrs passed....Nothing! 5hrs passed... Still Nothing! 6hrs passed... Still no sign of the car. By 3 o'clock not only had I virtually emptied their drinks machine and my bladder God knows how many times! but I was ready to take the train home and pick up the car the next day.
Don't get me wrong, the guys at Ralliart were very understanding. In the end they charged me for 4hrs of labour as they couldn't justify the 7 and a half hours and being a lancer register member I also got 10% knocked off parts and labour and full use of their canteen (which by the way had a PSII with GT3... but even 7hrs on that thing is enough to do your head in). The problem they had was with the fitting of the Gt Extension Kit... it had only been their second fitting!
The moral of the story is: Don't ever attempt to drink more than 30 cups of coffee in a day (even if its free) as you'ill find you'ill be stopping ever five minutes on the way home!
