North East people

[KrisB]

Is there any good places to take my car to for a look at my clutch around here ? and any rolling roads who know what there talking about around here aswell ?

thanks Kris

as far as i know Teesside Motor Factors in middlesbrough have a rolling road, couldn't tell you if there any good tho, never been there myself.

there's also a toyota and lexus specialist just off the a66 as you go towards redcar, i take mine there and they seem pretty good, but again never had a clutch sorted by them.

hope that was some help.

Paul Woods or JJ (both on here) for clutch.No doubt they will know a decent rolling road too.

[MegatronUK]

Only rolling roads I know of are A19 Test and Tune, and another one on the outside of Sunderland somewhere. Never been to either though.

[KrisB]

Are Paul Woods and JJ from the north east ?
how do i get in touch with them ? pm ?

[PW@Woodsport]

hi kris,both JJ and myself are in the NE,what car do you have? if its a mk1 im your man for the clutch,if its a mk2 then JJ.(i can do both but i pass the mk2 stuff to J)

There's another rolling road at gilesgate (turbopacs) and at macdonalds at lanchester (not the burger joint!)

[stevecordiner]

Yup Teeside Motor Factors have a rolling road in middlesbrough.

a19 test and tune are expensive and apparently they went down hill when the son took over.(my mam used to work there)

[KrisB]

Cheers for the replies everyone

i have a mk2 tubby, has anyone used Mc Donald racing before ? as its only 5 mins from where i live and its cheap (20 quid a session)

[chriswsw20]

where is it at as that is cheap and i may visit there myself (i am from billingham)

Surely not. £20 a session is ridiculously cheap

If it is £20 he can expect an avalanche of N.E. mr2s.

[KrisB]

spoke to the bloke a while ago and he said £20 for straight power run or a little more for some tuning while on rollers

seems a nice bloke BUT does he know much about mr2`s ? does most his work on Morgans which is a total different ball game

[JJ]

Hey ! I undertake work on any Mk2's but not at the moment... undergoing a bit of a move at the moment, so majorly busy at present - gimme a couple of weeks and business back as usual.

Stu, thanks for the plug !

No doubt the grub meet will give us an opportunity to clash heads again.

i can do both but i pass the mk2 stuff to J

Woods, don't be shy, the gearbox isn't that heavy !! I'm just recovering from my last broken rib session !!

[KrisB]

Ill talk to the bloke again soon as i want my car rr`d when boost controller is fitted and working, and ill check his prices.

[chriswsw20]

actually now you mention the morgans he does i think i have heard of him before. dont know what he knows about mr2s but he is renowned for his excellent work. he is a very clever bloke apparently. I was advised to visit him with my calibra a couple of years ago off a number of people.
