Andy sent an email saying the diff was sent today. Tracking to be sent tomorrow apparently.

Not sure if driveshaft and axles are coming.
He doesn't understand communication.

4th time lucky?

You're fucking kidding. Here's a picture to help you ease your pain. It's of .... Fakim and his mum.

[Aus335iguy]

Just like to point out the extra steps I took to make this gag. First I had to google the name fakim - turns out its from Mauritius. So then I googled Mauritian boy and his mother, then find an appropriate image. Hope the effort was worth it.

[MJ80.]

Yeah, this is typical unfortunately and is exactly the kind of shit i was referring to when i said i thought your timeframe was very optimistic, never ever underestimate how little of a fuck business owners give, its astounding.

[Brule]

I've bought about 50 items from Australia and mostly from the US around 30k worth and never waited for than 4 weeks for anything.

This guy Just doesn't care.

I prepared and planned well.
Not much more I can do.
We are talking 3 months here.

[MJ80.]

Ive never really had issues with off the shelf things/parts either. The issue is when your sending back and fourth, its the time spent sitting in the shop once received, then sittinf half done, then almost done, then finished, then not sent for another few weeks ect. Anyway you know what i mean, its absolutely fucked but is always the way with custom work or any real job thats not off the shelf and that requires labour at one end. Its absurd its taken so long but yeah totally matches the experiences ive had.

It's fairly typical of a shop owner that does something good once but turning that good thing into a commodity for sale and profit in a mass market isn't as simple as multiplying the effort.

Tested the nozzles and they drip a lot after spraying initially about 20 drops quickly than it continually drips a drop every 10 seconds or so.

Definitely not installing it.

This is an Aem kit.
So I've got 2 nozzle kits with 2 check valves and 6 nozzles. Why make things that are shit!

Yep I was trying to give them a chance for the video.

It's definitely not suppose to drip like that.

Have you considered running a solenoid that opens and closes once the meth is activated?

If I was in Darwin I would sort it out for you in 5 minutes. Was suppose to be there this weekend but plans got changed.

[Brule]

Both vendors said its normal have it dripping.

It might be ok but I would rather something that stops like the other brands I have seen on YouTube.

Still no tracking off Andy.
He said it shipped 2nd August and Lucas will send me tracking.

I have no idea who Lucas is.

I emailed back the 2 days asking if the everything was sent and that I haven't received tracking.

I called the joint workshop multiple times and got into someone from Horsepower Barn that said he will tell Andy I called.

7 days till scrutineering.
Another meet paid for that I'm unlikely attending.

Here's the AD Engineering Review.

This is my review after dealing with Andy Divers on two different occasions one in 2016 and one current.

December 2015 I ordered a 1000hp intercooler. I was told 2-3 week turn around.
I asked if he could make 3 inch Inlet and outlet pipes.
I paid for it straight away and got confirmation he could make 3 inch inlet and outlet.
That reply was on the 31.12.2015

I sent several emails asking if it had been made yet and has it been shipped.
I did not receive a response back until the 30.01.2016.
I finally got a response that he's busy and it has been shipped.

I received the intercooler 2 weeks later which is normal shipping to Australia.
It wasn't made with 3 inch inlet and outlets like I asked.
That was the first purchase.




Next purchase was this year.
I snapped an axle at the drags and wanted a decent setup. Only strong setup is the 8.8 diff, DSS axles and the custom drive shaft he makes.

I PMd on a forum then called Andy the next day.
Was told a 3-4 week turnaround for the axles but had 2 diffs still available.
This was on 26.04.2017
I paid half on 27.04.2017
Paid in full 17.05.2017
Sent axles as cores 03.06.2017 (had trouble getting them out)

Andy sent an email saying he will ship them on the 9th June.
I requested if he could send tracking and asked it had shipped via email and by calling his workshop and leaving msgs.

07.07.2017 I got a reply saying sorry drive shaft shop made incorrect length. He said he would ship the diff and drive shaft straight away and get drive shaft shop to ship the axles straight to me.
After not recieving any email replies or getting back to after leaving msgs on his phone again I asked for a refund on the 25.07.2017

Then I got an email straight back saying he sent an email last week why would I want a refund, Andy sent me a draft but did not send it from a few days earlier, it stated that he would ship it on Tuesday written on the 17th July, so I expected it all to ship the next day. I never received a tracking number or any response.

02.08.2017 Andy sends an email saying "your 8.8 has shipped" and some else who I don't know will send me tracking.
Yet again I don't get a response or tracking.
This is after emailing a few times just asking if it was everything as it didn't mention what parts were sent. Saying "8.8 has shipped" isn't much information.

I called the workshop on Andys line and someone from Horsepower Barn answered and said Andy will be in tomorrow and he'll let him know I called. My msg was Its Brendan from Australia and I'm pissed off and I want my parts.
I made it clear in phone msgs and emails that I'm pissed off and I'm sick of excuses.
Still no response.



Basically Andy does not do what he promises.
He tells you your stuff has shipped then he does not reply to you. Longest wait was around 4 weeks. On average I have been waiting 2-3 weeks for any response. Then he just emails and says he will ship it today and you don't hear from him for weeks.


I paid Andy for this in full over 13 weeks ago. Even paid deposit 2 weeks earlier and asked how long it would take, quoted 3-4 weeks.
This cost around $7500au and my car has been sitting there waiting for this 8.8 diff, axles and driveshaft since then.
More importantly I have missed most of the drag racing season. There is 3 meets left, one tomorrow. Biggest car event in my town is next week.

I really thought I would of had this kit much earlier and payed for a few events after Andy said he had shipped the kit. I paid for a drag meet on June 30th as I was told the kit was shipped, which obviously it hadn't.
Ive also paid for an event next week which is the largest street roll racing event here for the year. I purchased early bird rates as I never thought it would ever take this long.

I have purchased around 30-40k of parts for this car and have never dealt with someone like this. A blatant disregard for their customers, this had been shown over and over. He has been the worst person I have dealt with.

He wil reply frequently until you pay him then he doesn't care.
I'm yet to receive anything and have been waiting over 3 months.

Highly recommend staying away From AD Engineering.

That's messed up. He seems to respond when called upon in other forums that you're on. I think it's time to name and shame him over there again.
It's the one with boost in the name.

*EDIT saw your post, see what comes of it.
