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!

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.

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?

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.

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

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
