I unfortunately had a bad experience with Chapmans....

I found their service to be relatively friendly but the lack of attention to detail almost cost me an engine, no exaggeration. I fixed what was missed myself in literally 20 seconds.

Also some spare parts I had in the car were either kept or thrown out which was a bit annoying.

Out of all the places I have been too so far I only go back to Elite Racing, his attention to detail is incredible, he spotted problems that Chapmans and Mercury missed and that was before I even popped the bonnet.

I have witnessed Dan drive out free of charge to help his customers when they have encountered a breakdown (not releated to any work he performed). What other mechanics do that for you?

Nicest guy too....

Having said all this, I will have to give the newest sponsor Hardcore a go sometime soon, from all accounts they are a good outfit with the new management.

Hardcore are happy to work on your car even if you don't have an open chequebook...unlike some workshops around the place :(

They also have built some very tough cars, including a 33 gtst which has 795hp at the wheels... >_<

I have also witnessed Dan from Elite Racing attending to a customers car 50 mins away from his workshop and not charge the customer for the call-out...and I have not seen anyone else EVER do this...Dan is first rate :(

But yeh, Dan from Elite Racing is a top bloke - you will seriously NEVER, and I mean NEVER find anyone as geniune, kinda hearted, honest and hard working as him.

And yeh, what a good way to start dano4127. Not too stock, but not too heavily modded either. I like :( Hope to see you out n about soon :(

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
