garethr Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 In spirit, although I've been in Bristol (trying to bring civilization to the English ) for years, and it's a Soarer not a Supra... So almost a Supra, and almost South Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 As a matter of interest where do you take your Supra's to be repaired, looked after and tuned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Personally, general maintenance is done by myself. If I need more doing than I'm happy to do, I would take it to Craig (Dr_jeckyl) in Cardiff, but I've not come across anything yet. When I go single, it will go to you or Lee. There aren't really any places around here I'd trust to tune or do heavy mods on the supra that I know about. You thinking of expanding?

supraGZaerotop Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) ive always taken my jap cars to my mate, hes very experienced in the jap car scene and a pro at what he dones. i wouldint take my car to anyone else. if you were local id probably use your business paul. its hard to find a performance garage when you live in the back and beyond. back to my mates buisness, he has a local garage where he and his buisness partner do all work on any vehicle. they recently bulit a 600bhp skyline r33 gtr inc engine build, turbos, suspention, brakes various other bits. both him and his buisness aparnter are big in to nissan s14a imports, they have spent many thousands on theyre own cars. so yeah this is where i take my supra. charges me next to nothing aswel compared to other garages. recently had an R1 powered mini in for clutch, been meaning to ask him what it went likeAs a matter of interest where do you take your Supra's to be repaired, looked after and tuned?

Paul Whiffin Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If I do setup Whifbitz West it'll be in the Newport area, may be Caldicot, not 100% sure yet, just working things out at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5 minutes from Caldicot mate. If you want me to have a look around for you I'm more than happy to. There's quite a big industrial estate down there, probably the best bet for a premesis.

Thanks for the offer mate but I've already had a look at the Severn Industrial estate, if thats the one you mean, plenty of empty premises down there...... Just in case you were wondering, I live in Magor, South Wales but my business is in North London. So nothing will change in the London branch, that would stay the same, it would just mean another branch in South Wales for the West side owners.

Only 15 minutes or so from me (Chepstow) Yeah Severn Industrial Estate is where I meant. There's a unit now that's up for let, that used to be an MOT place, but its not very big. Space for 2 four post ramps maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm still in the area when/if you expand around here, I'll happily help out with any labour jobs you need doing to get set up in exchange for some discount on a few bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
