if im honest, this poll is semi worthless.

it only shows who can be bothered to vote or been told to come in here and vote by others.
i mean theres over 270 users online at this min, yet this poll thats been running for weeks and only 130 people have voted.

But about 80% of the users on line dont own a Skyline or live in the UK. There seems to be a lot of daydreamers on here recently.

Thumbs up

I picked my car up from RK in the week after a complete engine rebuild and I am over the moon!!

I am still running the car in, and a the rate I rack up miles it'll be a few months before it is up to full power.

Ron replaced the internals with forged pistons, rods, cams, manifolds and beefed up N1 oil pump along with all the extras needed to support 500bhp on stock (steel) turbos. If any thing the engine is over spec'd, but I like doing things only once.

All in all I was pleasantly surprised at the bill, with none of that "[Gulp], here's all the credit cards I own plus a few organs" type awkward moments when presented with a bill 30% bigger than you were expecting.

All in all I did not think such a spec was possible on such a realistic budget.

Many many thanks Ron!!!!

He's a quite guy who refreshingly does not have to blow his own trumpet, but has been around since the begining.

I used TSL Motorsport in Keyworth last week.

Work carried out to the vehicle included diffs / gearbox transmission / engine oil replace with full-race oils including redline. Brake fluids renewed. Trust cam belt. 3 new Aux belts. NGK spark plugs. Filters blown out. wheel balancing. rethreading a head bolt & replacement of some clips etc besides some other stuff.

Cant recommend these guys enough, amazing attention to detail and kept in constant contact with me when they found bits that needed sorting...including a call telling me the cam belt tensioner had previously been fitted incorrectly and manually locked off by god-knows-who! so im lucky to still have an engine!!

Big thanks to Graham and the team at TSL! Top guys and extremely enthusiastic.

A+++

Yeah i remember Graham at Trent Saab Limited (TSL) telling me i should upgrade my brakes some years ago.. just a tell i might add, then i remember spam phone calls from the same person ''your brakes are here come over £1200 etc etc''

Guess they needed extra work at the time, hope that attitude has improved..

... so what exactly happened then? cant beleive they would buy and fit the part without you giving them the nod to do so.

the guys are constantly busy with subarus and evos...and the odd GTR now and then.

Just been to Perfect Touch yesterday and all I can say is they are brilliant...

Best customer services ever (BTW I have been to few garages in the past) and they took time to speak and explain to you what they do.... non of the arrogant and big headed attitudes you get from some other garage

Big Thanks to Rob and the crew, ROb is just amazing at what he does, well happy with the final results... totally transformed my car

THANKS ROB!!

Only downside is that the Town centre there are pretty rubbish, it consist about 8 shops and 5 of them were closed down. Ended up sitting in Sainsbury with coffee and newspaper with some OAP for about 2hours

My vote has now gone to PT for definite..... will be back again very soon...

Can I just add that any garage that give's out a complimentary loan vehicle, because the battery had gone flat so it needs a bit of use, get's my vote everytime.

Even if the said vehicle is predominately bright orange and seems to struggle to do more than 60 miles to a tank full of un-leaded .....

Thanks Tony !
