Northern Beaches Workshops

[RedS14T]

Does anyone have a regular workshop they go to on the northern beaches? Good service + reasonable rates?

Before last week i assumed Joviant Performance was worthy of a visit. Enquiring about an uprated Walbro fuel pump supplied/fitted. The owner told me $300 for the pump and.......... $300 to fit!!!! Dodgy bastard told me they'll have to completely remove the tank and its not an easy job. Thanks but no thanks!

Then went to Magic Performance around the corner which told me it was a 10min job.. Been there a few times and they're very helpful and HONEST!

Is there any other tuners on the NB that deserve a mention?

Cheers!

[B-Man]

Short answer - no !

None that I know of anyway. BUt keep us in the loop on this Magic place - thx.

Im my opinion there are no competant workshops on the Northern Beaches.

Depends what you want done and if you are willing to pay for service.

I've been trying to find a decent workshop in the NB. There isnt any! But these are the ones I've found to be well respected by many Silvia clubs. (first preferrance to last)

Autosport Engineering @ Kirrawee

Advan @ Silverwater

ProConcept @ West Ryde

Corydon @ Silverwater

I've been going to Envy Imports for the last 2 years and have been more than happy with their service and prices.

I've had both major and minor services done there during this period, the latest being this week when I had a major service.

I've also had some mods done to the car including:

front mount intercooler

fuel pump

fuel regulator

electronic boost controler

clutch

adj cam sprocket

2 turbos

bonnet pins

+ more

Give Herman a call on 9907-4144 and tell him Mark sent you.

The workshop is located near my old high school (freshwater high) in Harbord.

Let me know how you go.

How many places on the northern beaches have you taken your car to to come to that conclusion?

I haven't been to Joviant because they quoted me way too much to buy and fit a BOV.

Another place is in Dee Why near Cromer High school called Procar.

I've been there twice and on both occasions it was to tune my powerFC (they have a dyno).

MRK25T: I have seen and been informed of several issues faced by friends at workshops around that area and frankly after visiting several I simply cant say I would be prepared to have any work on my car. I am extremely picky and careful when choosing a workshop.

My opinion and my judgement.

Where in Sydney would you take your car/ or where would you recommend friend go for work on their cars?

[Blitz]

I prefer to have either CRD or UAS do my work although Advan is another place I have heard excellent things about.

[MRK25T]

I'd have to agree with Blitz, he is very fussy when it comes to his car. Another fussy person I know is andrew.

Ask these guys where they take their cars to.

I would not let any workshop on the northern beaches touch my skyline. I have heard horrible stories from some of the workshops on the northern beaches, I have also seen the workshops and think that they are no where up to scratch with staff or quality equiptment.

If you want a good workshop I would say go to CRD, UAS or C&V. I have had work done by CRD and UAS and could not be happier.

[B-Man]

Actually - there is a place on the Northern Beaches - It's called B-Man's place -Just bring a slab over and , and we can take that standard turbo off and high flow it with me Bastard File.

[carlo]

Or you can bring it around to Carlo Racing Developments (CRD) and we can remove that pesky front mount and replace it with garden hose which is just as good

[B-Man]

Thats it Carlo !

Special this week - B-Man's port and polish job with worn out angle grider bought from Super Cheap Auto for $16.95

Stop whoring this thread B-Man.

Are you talking to yourself again ??

Yes

Oh, OK !

Shut up

[carlo]

Brendan, I just put a brick on the pedal so the car redlines and then poor sand into the air intake.
