TNT called. Spacers are stuck in customs. SARS Customs system crashed. Will only be cleared next week.

Very nice, I didn't know supaquick painted rims . Is that a permanent job? Do they file the rims down or just paint over them?

Yes, it's permanent and no mods to rim. Just cleaned and painted.


The tail pipe dia is 100mm for each one. Measured at long last

Still working towards the RGM SC that starts on Monday ..... 11 Aug 2014.


Few things had to be done ..... replaced brake fluid with Ferodo Ultra racing fluid (Boiling point 330C). You need about 750ml. Sourced at ATS for R 200 per 500ml.


Fitted EBC yellow pads in front and have bedded them in. Bites like crazy when warmed up and on par with std shoes when cold. No squelling so far.


Today my son dissapeared with the 86 and I got a call 3 hours later to come and pay. Autoquip fitted Eibach springs for R 4200 including fitting and wheel alignment. Sherman at Autoquip Fourways (011 467 7963) was very helpful.





You can see the yellow on the front pads and the wheels are filling the bodywork out nicely. Spacers arrived sans bloody nuts ...being shipped from UK.

Aha, that's a familiar place - been there and done that!!
You won't be disappointed.

Take it all, but take it easy.
You'll find that you'll need to exercise restraint especially on wet roads which are great fun, but it becomes so easy to make a very big mistake...

I have been using RGM for over 12 years. He supercharged one of my LR's and they did many chipping and mods on various of my vehicles. I have always been super impressed with their OCD attention to detail. I have honestly never had a single bad things to say about RGM ..... superb service.


All my mods have been reliable and very well put together and explanations were clear and concise.


I did consider the Sprintex SC but that is due to the configuration ....not that Vortech is poor quality. After thinking a little, I decided RGM is my first choice. Power without reliability is a pain in the @ss.


I am not saying that any other installers don't match or may even exceed what RGM delivers. After 12 years I trust RGM and that deserves my loyalty.


Short answer .. I have 100% trust in any work RGM does. They are that good. Steve and Rob are both honest and approachable without a single arrogant streak in them.
