hi guys just about to head down to api for a look , but no-one answering the phone !! does anyone know if they are even open on a saturday and what time they close as its not on their web!! thanks

 

They normally open on Saturdays for the morning but I think they were not open today.

Best to call in the week.

 

Sorry couldn't get any staff in this Saturday and I was away until 10 mins ago. I am back in Tuesday, but everyone else is on duty from 09-00 Monday

Sorry, David

 

He's like the Candyman - you only have to say his name on a forum...

 

no worrys david
so are you open saturdays normally ? if u r that would b great as id like to pop down and just have a chat about my situation with my car " other than the fact he's been a complete ******* " not this saturday but next b ok ? ive been blessed wiv the name david too by the way

 

 

I believe they are there most Saturday but only to midday'ish. I don't think you will see David there though mate!

 

David, I have various other committments on many Saturdays at the moment. Like driving my daughter from the midlands to Stanstead for 08-00 so she can go on a Uni versity project trip.

So this Saturday coming is no go. l'll have to look at my home calendar to see when I will next be here on a Saturday.

Correct we normally open 08-30 'til 12.00 sharp on a Saturday, but if there is no work booked and no collections, we don't open as it costs less. Very few people turn up out of the blue on a Saturday and my guys are on overtime rate on a Sat. If there's nothing productive to do we shut.

l'll advise later, David

 

ok david no worries mate ,
i havent got all the money to do the work as of yet anyway, but im getting there i was thinking of gettin an sti engine fitted instead of rebuild ! if i was to go down that route can i get an engine that has already been rebuilt or just second hand ?! as so far i cant seem to find one !! and could u give me a rough figure of what im lookin at for rebuild by u please . 3000 ?? cheers mate

 

No point to buy any old STi engine, I can build yours as good as or better than STi spec without any worry about quality or age or mileage.

I hate "rough figures" but 3 grand will usually get you a very good spec. and very good results, but I'd be happier to say for sure, once I see the car and what I have to work with

David

 

Go with what David advises, trust me i know, anything old know-it-all dont know about an Impreza int worth knowing
Top bloke

 

ok then mate ill get saving those pennies and be in contact soon, cheers

 

good 2 hear what work did he carry out on yours then mate ?

 

I built him the only engine that lasted until he sold the car.........................

Another tuner let him down rather badly [ Bradly ? - private joke ]

he'll tell you.

David

Well its funny you say that, cause Im sure Shaun told me that David used to be a **** star before his Subaru days

Don't drag me in to this sordid conversation..... I have heard he is "in to" PVC though!

David O'Brien!






For the record it was nearly three years ago now but David did me proud when building a new gearbox for my now sold Scoob. 100% trust in him and his guys @ API.

 

Totally agree with what's been posted about David and API. Whilst there are specialists nearer to me (I live in Cornwall), there are none that I'd trust as much. Will be contacting David at some point for advice about future upgrades to my engine.

 

I only buy those rubber gloves the mecchies wear 'cos I like the smell of the rubber ..

And one from Tommy Cooper for you.

A lady of my acquaintance and l were in bed last night, She said " you have the biggest ***** I have felt "

I replied " You're pulling my leg "


Boom Boom

 

GROANS!!!!!!!

 

No, the groans came after she stopped pulling his leg......................
