Slowboy racing,??
 
Has anyone used slowboy racing, i need to get some servicing work done, i am in Kent and they are local.

Or could anyone reccomend someone in the southeast?

I know Roger Clarke and scoobyclinic are good but they are too far to go.

peter a 22 November 2010 11:25 PM

Cheers guys,

5parky 23 November 2010 03:13 PM

neil services and does work to my classic and he's a top man. highly recommended.

metrex 05 March 2011 03:13 PM

neil at slow boy racing (top guy)
 
:thumb:i would recomend neil all day long and have done to a few peolple already, nice guy really honest and good on price he will be doing all the work on my new project gf8 sti wagon

as for san speed mixed feelings not really the same one on one service as neil or spot on scooby know how. i had a p1 a while back and i put it in to them for a few mods ie: dump valve air intake dcat exhaust drove it up the road and it went bang needed a full rebulid 4k all in all which they did pay for but still would rather it never happend in the first place. if you use san speed the best guy to talk to is pete all the rset dont give you the time of day. you may prefer san speeds why of things and they are bigger but if you see neils set up and how clean his work is i would recomend him over any one in kent, i even have my own mechs for other cars but when it comes to scoobys there is only one guy i go to now :thumb:

grahamc 05 March 2011 05:38 PM

I used slowboy for some work that was outsourced, had a few hassles (no fault of Neils) and decided to cancel the work. Neil was great with the issue, very helpful and happy to refund. With this in mind, I WILL DEFINITELY send my car there and would definitely recommend him.

Dan 300uk 05 March 2011 07:03 PM

neil is currently working on my car and as has been said does seem like a really nice guy and his prices are fair

metrex 05 March 2011 09:01 PM

dean at d&f motorsports cocked up the build and neil at slowboys has been nice enough to put it right for me

metrex 06 March 2011 07:28 PM

Iam getting a few bits done with him,hes changin my gearbox and diff ,fitting Front mount, remap and brakes the list goes on lol money money money :lol:

Sanspeed used to be good....... :nopity:

I'd say go to SlowBoy...

AsianGunner 06 March 2011 10:14 PM

Couldn't recommend Slowboys enough, top bloke and very honest with work done and prices.

Sanspeed.... As mentioned above, not a one on one service. expensive prices and more of a place you take you Focus ST or Octavia VRS to get a standard remap or real off the shelf mods.
"back in the day" lol Sanspeed used to be the place to go simply becasue there wasn't anywhere else to go.

weazel litchfield type 07 March 2011 07:27 AM

Neil is a great guy and would highly reccome d as for sanspeed i wouldnt let them wash my car!

greatgonzo 07 March 2011 05:52 PM

metrex 11 March 2011 12:17 AM

Neil Fitted my FMIC on my classic today. Wish knew about him sooner as he seems to know hes stuff. Very happy with the work done. Hes going to be re-mapping it too soon :)

RedBlob25 06 June 2013 02:52 AM

Looks like Neil's the man. I need the timing belt, water pump and spark plugs changed. Thanks to all your recommendations I feel much better in approaching Slow Boy Racing.
