I have no problem recommending BD4s at Gladesville. I have used Paul for a couple of years now, and couldnt see myslef going anywhere else.

I have never been to Croydon so cant offer any comment, Peter at Advan has been helpful when i have enquired about Trust parts.

But for peace of mind i continue to let BD4s do the spanner work that is beyond me, or im too lazy to do.

Hills motor sport all the way

I second Hills Motorsports. I will never take my car elsewhere unless it's for something they can't do (which isn't likely coz they seem to be able to do anything).

I know Croydon are good, but they charge like a wounded bull and they tend to ignore you a lot so they can focus on their big money spinners (ie, big hp guys with lots of cash to throw around).

Here are some reasons I like Hills:

1. They did some magic on my front-facing plenum. It was a home-made job and so didn't fit right, so they had to do a lot of work getting it to fit right. If I ever sell it, it'll have to be sold with the manifold attached or else the new owner will have to go through the same stuff again getting it to fit.

2. They bought the wrong intercooler for me, so they gave it to me at cost price. It was a better one than they originally quoted, and it ended up being around $100 extra. (so true price difference would probably be closer to $200).

3. Because of the cooler price difference, the extra hour or so they had to spend on the plenum, and the $80 throttle cable they had to buy (the original didn't reach), and the mesh that one of the guys convinced me to get, the final price was around $400 more than they originally quoted. I didn't have the extra money, so they let me pay it a couple of weeks later.

NOTE: The guy that gave me the original quote got into a LOT of trouble from Mark for not pointing out the variables (like potential extra labour, the throttle cable, plus the fact that he talked me into buying the mesh) and ordering the wrong cooler, and he said that they don't ordinarily let people pay them back later. It was only because so much of it was one of the one guy's fault of bad quoting/cooler ordering that they let me do this. I definitely WOULDN'T expect them to let me do this again, and I even said that next time I'll make sure I have a couple of hundred extra bucks handy for any future work they do to avoid hassles on both our parts.

4. By the time I came around to pay them, they had sold my old intercooler for me for $300, so I was only around $100 extra out of pocket and I didn't have the hassle of people coming around to look at it.
