Good stuff:

1. bigunit
2. doggsy964
3. gt two
4. 964fp
5..................any others....

We'll have to find a convenient Pub with parking and a Sunday that works in the new year...

Maybe a new thread is in order...

Bigunit if you are happy to head this? And by then we should be a healthy number

I'm based near Brixton (work in brentford) and currently use RGA in Vauxhall.

Any reason you changed Wagonface?

I am East London based and use RPM Technik. I have a few mods planned in early new year - KW's, big brake upgrade and some bodywork...

So who is keen for a New Year 964 catch up somewhere near London then???

I haven't changed yet, but am going to give GT One a try because:
1) everyone says they are efficient, reliable and knowledgeable
2) they seem to have a passion for 964's
3) last year RGA did some mechanical & paintwork for me that I felt wasn't up to an acceptable standard. (pls note lots of other people use RGA and are happy with Bob - maybe just a one off with my work)

I'm mainly changing because I want an Indy that is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the best way to blow cash on my car. By all accounts GT One fit the bill. Fingers crossed.

I've used him once change the thermosat and the oil lines (tried myself and failed), but the jury is still out tbh! They do have alot of old Porsches though!

Let me know how GT1 go...

Ahh clapham, your just round the corner from me. I'll keep an eye out for your turbo and try not to steal it

Since then:
Lowered
H&R ARBs
Strut brace
Cup airbox
Decat
GPipe
RS Steering wheel
Rear wiper delete
Plus major service, clutch, bushes, etc

Ducktail, Cup 1s, brake ducts and a few other bits sitting in the garage awaiting funds!

Its a slow but enjoyable project
Car is in Bromley and I use Project 9 Engineering

Oh yes; and a full top & bottom end rebuild at JZM earlier this year.

- GreenH&R's/BillyHD's, decat, cup pipe

Garage is also Jaz in Wembley. I used to live in Wembley and go to Le Mans every year with Steve Winter who owns Jaz so don't mind the trip, I don't pick a garage based on location!

Work done since owning: Full engine rebuild, Steve Wong chip, drilled air box + K&N, G-pipe and de-cat, Bilstein HD's + Eibach springs, Brey Krause strut bar and full alignment, new brakes including discs and pads all round, braided lines, etc. Gen RS rear bumper, Cup mirrors, Gen Cup 1 wheels refurbished with new Pirelli P Zero's all round, RS 3.8 lip spoiler and brake ducts, de-badged, OBC retro fit. Car already had sport seats, RS steering wheel, cruise control and working AC (which has also had a new condenser and re-gas), new Blaupunkt CD/MP3 player with Sat Nav and Bluetooth and JL Audio speakers all round (no amp - cant see the point), plus tons of other bits to freshen the car up like pedal rubbers, hood struts, seals, etc. The car now drives like new and is practically perfect to me!

Oh and I've also just had all the fluids replaced during minor service including gear box and diff oils just to be cautious - made the box much smoother!

I live in Wimbledon currently but we're leaving the big smoke and moving out to Sussex in a couple of weeks time (confirming that we're all restless). I've only had the car for 3 months and am undecided on which specialist to use currently.
