Just had my turbo/housing/dump pipe etc. replaced by Fast & Furious in Fyshwick, cost me $900. Perfect job, very honest and clean. Turbz goes ten times harder plus they detailed the engine bay for no additional cost. I highly recommend them.

I'm still a bit 50/50 with Parvis at Fast and Furious.

He's done me some favours, but I always get the "and i had to do this and this and this", and simple tasks like installing an exhaust cost me $280.

He's a nice old guy, and I'm prettysure hes honest, but I just cant help but feel shafted sometimes.

I'll keep going to him for general servicing, because its close to work, but I think I'm in love with autotech now.

Can anyone recommend an honest suspension shop that doesn't charge the earth and does good work / inspections?

I haven't seen a rap for Howard Revell Steering in Fyshwick yet. Good honest shop, lots of experience (inc. track and rally) and last time I went got a free no obligation inspection and quote. The hub that 'may' have needed replacing was fine and alignments always spot on. They sponsor local motorsport and competitors and are located next to Reliance Rotary in Lyall St, parking can be a pain but you can't have everything :P

PS: NOT to be confused with Revell Steering in Tuggeranong; completely different ball game.

Does anyone know exactly where Eddie who used to work at intergra motorsport has moved to. I'm hearing autotech but im also hearing some place in hume and autotech is in tuggers.

If you have a car that doesnt require that much special attention and you are in Gungahlin then Paul White are great, taken both my GTR there and my brother Civic and never had a problem and always finished on time and on budget if not less, but he will tell you whether or not he can do something rather then try and fail.

I also would NOT recommend the window cleaners at my work, as i see people using them to clean their wheels and everything else.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
