Got myself a 3" belmouth Decat for under £140 quid! Well pleased, will see if Andy will fit it at the same time

Generally though im impressed with what i see up there so hopefully will have a nice smile when i pick the car on Saturday afternoon!

Just to add some more info Andy used to work for Prodrive working with WRC cars, and still runs WRC cars for customers, I belive that he assisted Steve Winter on this years Sommerset Stages.
He still has good contact with Prodrive \Technical Dept too.

Regards
Mark

Thumbs up Top man

I've not long lived in sunny South Wales and i've spent a few days ringing around to find good Scooby garages for a 30k service on my 03 WRX. After speaking to CVC, Osaka, Hyeline and Keith Price; Andy at Ace Motorsport was the most resonable and by far and away the most knowledgeable man of all the garages i've spoken to. Looks like he'll be upgrading the discs for me too at some point.

Discs are a piece of wee wee to do. Did mine took about 3 hours, including a good clean and brush up around the hubs. Gis a shout and I'll give you a hand I'm in Cardiff too.

Just popped into see Andy and CyprusScooby was just picking his car up.

Was having a chat to Andy and he was very impressed with the Apexi ECU in CyprusScooby's car and is now looking into starting dealing/mapping them and he is still on the look out for a new premises big enough to have a rolling road.

He knows more about it than me now! I should really read the instructions at some point and really see what it can do.

By the way, Top Guy, Top Service, and Top Price!
Cheers and Top job Andy!!!!
