martinibloke 0 Posted September 29, 2003 Hi Everyone, Anybody had any dealings with a company called Top Gear? There are based in Bridport, St Albans, West Bromwich and Burnley. If so what did you think of them? Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted September 29, 2003 I had a back box done by them and the front box deleted and had a straight section of pipe put in by the St. Albans branch - Work just round the corner from them so very handy. The bak box was fitted perfectly but the front section was blowing alot so i had to take it back and they welded it instead of using clamps- did a pretty good job- i have a pit in my gararge so was able to have a good look at it and it its pucker- all neat and tidy- so i would recomend them. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted September 29, 2003 Not sure if it's the same company as the Top Gear I've dealt with. They're based in Teddington. I ordered a K&N panel filter from them in April, it took 4 months for them to send it! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinibloke 0 Posted September 29, 2003 Cheers for those comments guys. I got a cat from them, was fitted by an exhaust centre, only to have it bang the underfloor. So got it taken off and returned. But because it had been run a couple of miles (which was the only way of finding out if it fitted or not when moving) they said sorry no refund or exchange. Dick Turpin did wear a mask and cowboys normally ride horses??? :evil: :evil: :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted September 29, 2003 Top Gear only supplies custom made exhaust and alloy wheels and tires so most likely was different company you used.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted September 29, 2003 My Powerflow cat-back was bought from Styledynamix and fitted by Top Gear down in London - superb fit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markTTC 0 Posted September 30, 2003 I've had some BAD experiences with the St Albans branch, I had to go back three times to get them to sort out the powerflow exhaust system - first time it was banging on the axle, second time blowing from centre pipe :( Cheers Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markTTC 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Hi Babrul - yeah I remember you, your car looked quite tidy. I'm Glad your exhaust is trouble free :wink: Have you drilled your airbox yet? Cheers Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 9, 2003 hi mark, yes the exhaust is good, its a bit loud......but nice. i have not driled the airbox yet, but i do have a jetex filter in there........i just don't have the time, plus the no-how... i've put some 17s too, but need to lower it, where did you get your suspension kit from again? cheers mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markTTC 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Airbox mod is easy mate, check out this link http://www.kf010a4571.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ And go to the downloads section. My suspension is FK Konigsport coilovers - I got them through a CCGB group buy for a great price. Try giving Yaash motorsport a call http://www.yaash.co.uk for a good deal on these :D Cheers Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
