Whilst browsing Facebook yesterday I stumbled across a product page called ‘game changing early bay products’.
I had a look and it was advertising an aftermarket engine bar which would clear full flow oil pumps and aftermarket performance exhausts, anyone who knows me knows I do a lot of work on early bays and a great deal of it is installing performance engines so instantly it was of great interest to me. I asked if it would clear original style merged headers like you see on quick beetles etc and to my horror the reply came from the notorious Lee Cooksey, aka Monkey boy.... I’m sure the more elder forum members will remember him from ripping people off by taking their money and never posting the parts.
In response to my question I got told it is designed to clear CSP pythons and vintage speed systems which instantly is a pointless exercise as they are designed to clear original vw engine bars :| For about an hour i tried to get straight answers out of him regarding it working with merged headers and refunds if it doesn’t with no avail, also he wants nearly £400 for this engine bar :shock:
Those who know his name know how much of a lying and dishonest piece of shit he is and to those of you who don’t avoid him, his page and anything he’s selling like the plague. Too many people have been ripped off by him in the past and considering his numerous dishonest dealings and his reckless actions in Ninove a couple years back I’m astounded he has the front to show his face in the vw community anymore
