Improvements at GTS Tuning

Hi all,

I've secured a much improved supply deal today.

I can now offer (at very good prices) practically any donor vehicle mechanical component, with much faster turn around than previously.

For example, i can now do:-

Brake calipers,
Steering parts inc. racks,
Radiators from Japanese cars,
Exhaust parts, and catalystic convertors,
Lucas and Bosch ECU's and electronic parts, switch, sensors etc..
Mintex brake discs and pads, including the fast road range of grooved/vented discs,
Clutches,
Gaskets....

Basically if you can get it in your local big motor factor i can get it also, at a better price.

There are only so many of these parts that i can add to the website. As many of you build your cars with various different donors, if there is something that you need but can't find on the website then please ask as i should be able to source it.

Kind regards,

Darren

Well Darren, all I can say is it's extremely selfish of you not to have set all this up 2 years ago when I was starting out and needed all these parts!

Good Luck and well done for setting up such a valuable service!

Keep up the good work Darren, but I have to say that I have just purchased some suspension components from Lolo.
They were considerably cheaper than seemingly similar items you were offering and the service and delivery time was excellent.

It still pays to search around

Still waiting for M16 brake caliper bleed nipples?





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Darren,
Glad to see your business is growing. Good work!

Can you please give me a price for Sierra rear calipers. I have units which I could exchange. I also need a clutch slave cylinder for a Rover SD1 V8 engine with LT77 gearbox.
Cheers,
Craig.


Mix,
I think you will find that the quality of finish and accuracy of the Lolocost stuff is pretty poor. I still don't know why I didn't send the wishbones I got from them back as soon as they arrived, I certainly would if I did it all again. The service and prices are good but that's not always the whole story...

However, if you are happy then good luck, maybe you got a good set. I know I'm not the only one to get a bad set! GTS have an excellent reputation for quality and aren't much more expensive than Lolo. Note GTS website prices usually include VAT.
Cheers,
Craig.

The components I bought from Lolo were top and bottom ball joints, I'm in the process of making my own bones so couldn't comment on the quality of Lolo ones.

Mark

Have a look at www.brakesint.co.uk, I paid 65p each for nipples.

Mick,
Sorry, it looks like I was jumping to conclusions. Yes I got balljoints from them too at the time and apart from a missing washer they seem fine.
Cheers,
Craig.
