Hi Kim,
Unsure on the exact booking time as the diary is at Work and im not until the 4th but im sure i could fit you in early January if your just needing a setup/checkover. As for being new to cossies, dont worry about that, if you need to know anything just ask as we are a friendly bunch on PF and theres always a more than eager bunch of chaps lurking around to help out a lady.


Jim Galbally,
so dont ask em to change brake pads or anything like that...
Not strictly true, i will do mechanical service items if required such as cambelts, fluids, pads etc its just that we dont get involved in heavy mechanicals like clutches/box's ect, as we tend to be busy enough doing only what we specialise in, due largely to there only being 2 of us.

Hope this helps Kim, but if not,please feel free to ask. If PM if you prefer.

Finally, congratulations on the purchase of your cossie.

Cheers guys, and thanks Stu, if you can fit me in early Jan that would be brilliant, I want a tune up and a general check, i've been told it's running a stage 1, but i've just got out of a 170bhp orion turbo and the cossie doesn't feel fast at all, so I was thinking if you are able to check what chip is in it and if it isn't a stage 1, could you put me 1 in?

I will call you when you re-open, thanks for the reply it's much appreciated.

Cheers
Kim xxx

Not trying to be disrespectful.But when you say dont feel as fast.I thought the same when i got out of my turbo into my cossie..Only realised how much quicker it is when i looked at speedo. It just the cossie a more refined/Quieter ride and it dont FEEL quicker but normally it is.Hope you understand wot i mean.

I know totally what you mean....

Even when I look at the speedo it doesn't seem to be going anywhere but it doesn't feel to be boosting right, then again saying that, it could just because I'm not used to it, I could do with getting someone in the orion next to me, and doing a 0-60 or even better a quarter mile!!!!!!
