Title: Just back from Hayward North
Post by: MrHanky on March 30, 2010, 03:53:41 PM
Hi,
 
My EGI went for a full service and mechanical check today, as I wanted to make sure it was in good health for its first track day in April.
The car from the outside looks a bit rough, so I wasn\'t really sure what to expect.
 
Thankfully everything is fine and the only 2 things of note are a bit of rust underneath and the front wheel bearings.  Overall Steve was impressed with the mechanical state of the car, and did comment that this would be a good EGI to try and do up.
 
Unfortunately this has got me thinking of trying to do just that :).  So assuming that the car gets through the summer trackdays without too much trouble, I may think about trying to get the body work up to scratch (wife will hate me :) ).
 
Finally I would like to mention that Steve\'s service was great.  Thoroughly nice guy who doesn\'t try to rip you off with extortionate prices and work that doesn\'t need doing.
 
Thanks
 
Mark

Glad you are pleased with the car and work carried out. I used Carl for my rebuild and it was all about customer satisfaction without the price tag associated with rotaries. Repeat business for sure and will always recommend them.

Like wise Steve :D.
Also just been reading about street porting, so might be in touch in the future with regards to this ;)
Still don\'t fully understand, so will continue to read up and look to see if this is something I could do in the future.
 
Thanks
