Its such a shame really. The 1st kits to come over caused a storm & went down really well. However due to some components being poor quality of late, Stu's advice is best kept to.

For anyone not familiar, the company is based in Brazil & the prices are awesome really. But the above mentioned clutch group buy seemed to have gone very wrong partly due to both parties at either end not realising that GM have different spline configurations for the American & European GM gearboxes etc on some models. Mvaux werent to know this nor were the Miggers. However Mvaux although apologetic was somewhat reluctant to offer any suggestions as to how to sort the issues out.

Its just a shame really, but there are stories of the parcels not being packaged anywhere near as well as they had been in the past & that the turbo manifolds were coming through warped etc.

You take your own risk really, not with the company but the goods themselves.

Again.Shame.
