Abbey Motorsport

OK, I dont usually condone all the overtly fanboyish stance of some of the 'big up to the tuner' posts but in recent posts some tuners have come in for a bit of stick...
Had my car up at Abbey yesterday and while things didnt quite go the way I had hoped i.e. a finished, trackable car by the time I left, I can only say that Mark and the gang were faultless
Mark was Uber helpful with LOADS of good advice and tips. Thanks also to Charlie for battling away with the suspension linkages....(I PROMISE you they were fully coppaslipped after I rebuilt them all )

TBH, the whole team at Abbey were brilliant and, despite not getting the result I was hoping for, at least managed to narrow down the running fault. As I said to Mark, I HAD toyed with the idea of using local (to me) tuners and suspension folks but when it came down to it I went with experience and it really paid off.

Thanks to all once again and to those deciding on a specialist, Abbey are more than deserving of their enviable reputation.

TT

i have previously been a little critical of scott at abbey but have put that down to him having a bad day, and maybe first impresiions have stuck.

but to be fair, i think marks attitude has been top draw and very refreshing. also tony has been very helpful when i have spoken to him.

credit where its due, the workmanship i have come accross from abbey has always been top class.

Hmm..not quite Andy. Still a bit to go yet. Not much though but enough to be a temporary showstopper

I thought it might be you due to the amount r33s. I do like that Candy red Supra.

Do you have a website to look at?
