Default New Subaru Specialist in the Midlands

have popped in to see these guys a couple of times now.

They are in Melton Mowbray on the Saxby Road estate.

Basically, two very well know techs from TSL have set up in the same Premesis as Richard Bulmer (needs no intro!)

The unit they are in is very large and in about a month or so Richard will hopefully have a new 4WD Rolling Road

These guys have done pretty much ALL the work on my Beloved Type R and it has always been absolute top quality and they really really know what they are talking about.

Im sure many of you guys know them already and know that they are top people.

No Bull Crap, just honest work at a REASONABLE PRICE!

I have so far been over there twice and I have to say I am very impressed.

Hopefully you guys will support them all, they certainly deserve it.

Hope the mods dont mind me saying this but the Number is 01664 562 592

Company name is Carnetix - Speak to Glen or Bec

Cheers

Richard was only working at TSL one day a week. I dont know if he will continue to map cars for them.

The other 'techs' are Glen and Bec. The two main people in the workshop. On the other matter, need i say more?

They will be advertsing soon I would imagine.

They will be having an open day fairly soonish I think. Once they are fully up and running they will start to advertise I would think.

Did'nt you buy some stuff off me once?

He is running Tracktive in the same Unit.

Thumbs up CHEESE & PORK PIES

Melton Mowbray has a big dog food factory - I'm a bit concerned that they may get their delivers wrong.

Cheesy dog food in a pie - yuk, I hate to think what else.

Anyway, cheers for that I may pop in and say hello.

Yeah, i think people will be a bit peeved if they unwrap a melton pork pie, only to find a second oversize forged piston

Or if you go for a rebuild and open the bonnet to be met by a huge block of cheese. Oh, hold on, THAT WILL BE A SUBARU ENGINE THEN!
