Garage Repairs

[Guest rizla]

just been talking to richard tilly from a place called ROAD TECH in crawley nr gatwick airport

in respect of doing a engine swap and various other jobs on my s7 as due to work comitments i dought it would be ready for summer

cost of engine swap(x-flow out rs turbo in)and sorting out vehicle wiring inc collection and delivery £700

(1)does anyone know if they are any good(there in the back of which kit)

(2)what do you think of the price?

[Guest mickmellors]

Cant comment on Road tech but in case you get any negative feedback you could give Bob Turnock a try at RS Jigtec - they have done a load of very varied jobs for RHOCaR Members and so far I have not heard of anyone who is anything less than happy with the work and the price. They will do any job from turning a bush to building you a car from scratch. They are in Cradeley Heath near Brum.

 

Check their website at www.rsjigtec.com - phone no's etc are all there.

 

Let them know you have come through RHOCaR and there might be a bit of discount - never hurts to ask ! ! !

[Guest rizla]

sounds ok for those in the north but i think the transporting cost might be a tad high as i live in essex

[Guest rizla]

well it pays to ask mick

phoned rs jigtec and after a very long chat with bob(nice guy)the car is being collected at 8 am tomorrow for much modifying and he was cheeper as well

 

thanx again mick

 

ps i did get a discount for being a meber of the club(and a good discount at that)

Where's he putting the battery then Riz?

[Guest rizla]

i really hate to admit this bill but he is going to fit it in one of 2 places

in the bottom of the passenger foot well or .....wait for it...IN THE BOOT!

 

GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME....

[Guest Battery Bill]

Good on yer Rizla

Dont worry a lot of people building Robin Hoods copy other builders good ideas, its part of the culture. You wait next thing cj and Terry barry will soon announce that they have seen the light and agree "Rear is OK"

[Guest rizla]

on a seriuos note would in the foot well(passenger)drasticly reduce the leg room for average size people as im sure alot of people will want to take a ride in it when its done

[Guest paul mercer]

try grove garage in romford (01708726518). I took my kit there and they were excellant. They had my car for 2 days and i payed £200 inc bits, to get my 2b running. They specialise in turbo cars, in particular fords. One of the lads, Ahmed bayoo used to do the programming for ford cosworths so they know whats what.

 

i'm sure they'd be able to do a very good job for you!

sorry already booked in with rs jigtec as everyone seems to recomend them and they specialise in kit cars/turbo ford engines

[Guest Battery Bill]

I don't suppose so, passengers do not really need to stretch their legs out that much (But it would be more comfy for them if the "one that must not be named" was in the back)

[Guest rizla]

nudge nudge wink wink say no more

[Guest rizla]

well they have just collected my car(rs jig tec)and on its way to birmingham

stay tuned for updates..............

[Jon Bradbury]

..im sure alot of people will want to take a ride in it when its done..

[Guest rizla]
