technical tuning near palmers green gets good words said about him alot, hes in the esso garage near the juntion of A406 and green lanes

SCC in st albans,,,,,,,,,, there not north london but not far and rob ect are all good blokes

IF its a cossie then theres a place near my house, JME engineering its near the junction of hornsey road and seven sisters road where the hand car wash is on the left hand side,,,,,, the bloke there LOVES cossies and likes to spend his time restoring em for customers,,,,,,, ive sold him 3 rear chassis rails so far for cossies and hes got a nice looking cossie but hes into bodywork stuff aswell as engine stuff so its got some strange bodywork mods to show his skills ( his personal saph has mk2 golf rear lights ect, but it looks ok)

theres 3 to choose from

so most of ya are recommending scc. ill check em out on the net. b19 bal your a local then may have seen you around, i think thats sal who has technical tuning(not being picky but its a texaco i think..) i know him from the areas. he was inconsistent from what i was told but that was a few years back.

Reasons for not going power engineering.....not major but dont really wanna say

thanks for your help

thirded, dont take my car to anyone else, they know rs turbo's and cossies inside out. also use them for friends and relatives cars too.

If they did a loyalty card i'd have millions of points by now

never used em but i know hes got a few years under his belt,,,, he started out from his mums garage

ive never used ANY of em, just posting up options of places that i know that are local

as for seeing the car about,,,,,,, due to my cossie being parked on the road i see LOADS of RS cars, generally there all writing notes about me selling the car ect on the poxy car



BUT JME are actually reasonably good,,,, there local but IMO just take the time and go to SCC just cause robs sence of humor

there all good guys there at SCC and there easy to get to aswell
