Hi, I'm Simon and I'm from Basingstoke /applause/

Purchased my 91 J mk2 16v two or three years ago. It came with a 9a 2.0 16v 175bhp/150lbs, with electric recaros and Pioneer set up. Other than that, standard.

Since having it I have -
Sold the BBS RAs and went to Design 90s and then onto 15" Compomotive MOs
uprated the brakes to 305mm 4 pot Brembos

fitted a mk4 brake master cylinder
m3 rear lights
private number plate
S/s exhaust

FK coilovers
ARBs and strut braces all round
G60 arches all round
sold the 2.0 16v engine and fitted a 1.9 PD TDi 150 engine and 6spd box

Forge custom fmic
Remap to 200bhp'ish and 285lbs
Peloquin ATB diff

Car is currently in having a complete respray along with a few subtle body mods.
Should be fresh on the scene for the 06 show season.
Watch out Simon Cooper, a new diesel will be on the scene!

Arrow,  :cool: very cool looking motor.

In regard to the peloquin diff, if you look in vw related there is a thread from g6dub in there if you could shed any light on her predicament that would be cool.

Okay..  Just mentioned them as I bought my car from them about this time 2 years ago.  Just wondered what had happened to em as they seemed to vanish.


I noticed something a year later that makes me pretty sure it was clocked.. They seemed decent lads though.. Basically they bought and sold VWs Audi's and BMWs and did servicing including supercharger stuff etc.


their details were as follows  (Site no longer works)

Expert Tecnik
Vickers Business Centre
Priestley Road
Basingstoke
Hampshire
RG24 9NP

Tel. 01256 333344
www.expert-tecnik.com
 
from what I remember it was out near a hospital. (i'm not local)

Darren,

Find out this guys name and then put it on every forum imaginable about how much of a rip off mechant he is. That way whenever he changes his business name, the reputation goes with him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can confirm this guy is a piss taker, I eventually received a dodgy piece of kit of this joker, and i know at least another two people off here have been scammed big time

g-man you'll have a PM in a minute.



from >> http://the-corrado.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16972





seems he now runs this.. http://www.stormdevelopments.co.uk/Index.html
