FTO servicing in Adelaide

Post by TCGPX »

My car went in for a service on Monday and I found out some interesting info. Went to Road and Track Services in Enfield, they have been servicing my family's cars for years, including the "warmed up" :wink: Escort I had. They also work on race cars from many different classes.

Turns out that Gill Cameron (owner) runs a 6A12 from an FTO in their Speedcar! How convenient...

My car got a run on the Dyno, so I've got a reference point for performance mods in the future. Handy.

Also they fixed the squeeking/clunking/groaning noises coming from my front suspension (Steve suddenly takes a lot more notice :wink:. We spoke on the cruise). I figured the bushes/droplinks were the problem as I seemed to have all the symptoms others on this forum and overseas were complaining about. I was going to go through and replace the whole lot in one hit. Turned out to be a loose lower control arm inner pivot bolt that was causing all the noise! She's quiet again!

They have an MUT there too. My SRS light has been on since I pulled apart my steering wheel (was really starting to pi$$ me off), thought it was going to cost me to get Mr Mitsi to plug it in and clear it. Now it's all gone :D

Anyway, reason for this post: good mechanics = hard to find. I'd recommend Gill to anyone in Adelaide needing a good mechanic and, lets face it, racing a 6A12 is a bonus. They are not the cheapest around (When are the better mechanics ever cheap?), but they do excellent work and they're honest.

I've mentioned the club to him, but don't think he's huge on using the net. If you go see him, mention it again as he should remember.

Hope this helps...
Travis.

P.S. Couldn't resist showing off my old Esky, don't flame me!
