drift_bear Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Managed to get bearings thanks to jamieP (thanks again mate) so now need to find a local garage to fit them for me so I can drive home on monday back to aberbeen. Anyone know anywhere that can do it that's not to far to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You can try Silverstone garage. Its maybe 30 mins away in silverstone. Give Steve a call on Monday. 01327 858000. He might be able to squeese you in but are usualy busy. They always have a few breakers aswell incase you need anything extra. Or Maybe if thats too far there are these 2 but never used them they are much closer to the ibis tho http://www.motortrades.co.uk/cars/japanese-car-specialists/wellingborough-northamptonshire/japanese-car-specialists-wellingborough-northamptonshire.asp Also... http://www.paragonauto.co.uk/ could help maybe. They are in northampton. They do mostly American stuff but said they would be happy to do my supra when I took my other car there. They have had skylines in the past iirc. Failing that leon @ jps is in milton Keynes. They have a drag supra but that's even further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINNO78 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Silverstone Garage repaired the coil packs and changed the plugs on my Supra i have the reciept.......so I thought great new coil pack clips nice job..what they actually did when I checked was remove all the plastic clips and silicone the wires into the coilpacks....when I changed the plugs I had to pull all the wires out was a right mess...some snapped and had to be soldered back, coilpacks were full of silicone too!!! Oh and the wrong plugs were put in...they were completely burnt out and were the cause of my misfire!! So word of warning be careful if you go there!!!!

drift_bear Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm still currently sitting at RGS motorsports waiting for the car to be finished so I can drive all the way to aberdeen. Looks like the hub is worn aswell so will be replacing that when I'm home once I source one. Hope the rest of the guys got home fine and had no problems, big thanks to aldo for waiting with me till the cars done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny this as they made a right bollox of Bosscos TT conversion too. The 1st 6 weekends after he got it back spent at mine sorting there crap out. Which as it happens 1 of the issues was all the coilpack clips were missing and the wires where siliconed into the coilpacks. FFS as if you would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
