thebigfelly Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 as some of you might know ,not had the best of luck with my motor since day one , but today it is finaly resolved , been back and forward to ra motorsport in perth since december where i got a free winter check , its a lil bit of a drive up to RA MOTORSPORT from where i am in edinburgh aout an hour roughly but nice solid bypass driving and im used to going up to dundee anyway so wasnt too much hassle , anyway cant praise andy and the lads up at ra motorsport , very helpful ,very imformative, no bulls##t and doesnt think about how much money he can pocket , worked round dates and times that suited me even though hes been super busy , very punctual in keeping in touch regualry and replyed to emails straight away when i asked questions or tried organising things . as some may know from the shows i attended last year , the rear passenger wheel was goosed and stuck straight out, well on the winter check when i first took it in andy and the mechanics noticed it and checked it all not in depth tho as it was just a winter check it was in for , topped up a cpl fluids and noticed a wireing problem that they sorted aswel, done a good look over on the wheel and we arranged a date after xmas to get it properly booked in and looked at , took it up last week got it on the ramp, wheel off , had a good look at it checked everything over thoroughly showed me what was wrng and where , tried on a spare strut he had sitin there , and the nearly straightened the wheel up , my strut i had was bent like a banana, the hub was slightly bent and bearings were goosed aswel, let me drive away with the spare strut he had without payin a penny, and ordered up a new hub and con rods , was back in today parts had arrived , new hub and con rods got fitted took it out on test drive everything is running mint , back in got all 4 wheel off and fitted my scoobyworld mudflaps for me aswel , guys done a fantastic job , andy is very helpful guy and trusting to let me drive away with the spare strut until i got the other parts in, always offering a cuppa and sumthin from the sandwhich van if i wanted which im gona have to take him up on the offer next time ,the banter wi him and lads and some of the storys made me laugh and the time pass quickly , and like i said didnt think of his own pocket when sorting me out , offered advice and opinions on various ideas i had as to what road i wana take the car down for modding , would recomend him and the lads up there to anyone even if you just try for yourself once and it was worth the drive up , been a few years since i had service as good as that .

braveheart Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 The good thing about Andy he has built and drives a quick car gives people that extra confidence that he has overcome alot of issues before building a fast car which in turn can save you a hell of money and thats what its all about in my eyes.. Well done To RA Motorsport.. Glad the cars running well enjoy the burble of flat four with confidence.
