Hi 02NV,

well, put it this way - they've charged me $180 for a dyno tune and general servicing (40,000kms) last time when i was there... this was like, err.... 2-3 months ago??

the guys there are quite OK (ask for Terry), and sometimes they have quite a lot of awesome cars getting tuned there as well (R34s, SUpras, Evos, WRXs etc...)

guess that's a good sign that they do things well or ppl won't bring their mega-HP cars there to get tuned....

02NV,

Is Evolution-R any good? anyone been there with their FTO?

GPXXX · Post by **GPXXX** » Wed May 21, 2003 12:47 pm

i never taken my FTO there for a service personally, but I've heard (from previous threads) that they're pretty good but they charge an arm & leg for it... Does that help??

On Whitehorse Rd heading towards Box Hill / Melbourne, there is a service lane right after the Shell Petrol station past cnr of Springvale Rd/Whitehorse Rd.

Turn into the service lane and it's on your left, next to Carpet Court I think... It's address is: 3 Varman Crt, Nunawading.

Hope that helps!

Cheers 02NV,

Thanks for your help..i know where it is now..It' near BrandSmart, i think.
I did a search on yellowpages...it's show up as 3,Verman Crt (Nunawading)..no wonder i can't find it.

Thanks again

GPXXX · Post by **GPXXX** » Wed May 28, 2003 11:12 pm

yeah that's it - BrandSmart is just down the same block... Say Hi to Terry for me.

Are you getting your car serviced or tuned there?

Any pics of your ride?

I mentioned in another thread, have had my GPXman serviced by TGS Performance in Cheltenham. The guys there are friendly, work's not too pricey and they seem pretty knowledgable...... recomended
