Hi all, was wondering if I could get some info on whether there is any mr2 specialist around the hereford/Worcester area (doesn't have to be close, but would be nice), or any reputable garage some one would suggest to carry out an engine rebuild. Also what kind of price I would be looking at for parts and labour for a forged build.
Cheers, Rik

Hi bud,
Im in Southampton, the only person I trust is Peter at Sbits - Barnsley.
I know, its a distance but if you wanted a very professional and quality service - Pete is your man...
I visit Pete once a year, to ensure my Beast is running properly.

YVS in Selby. Best around down your way I have heard by many people. Alot of us up here get builds done by him as there aint many up here. GeorgeL's totb winning car was built by him.
Re: Rebuild
mine was built by auto engineering chard somerset , knows what he's doing but you can soon spend 3 grand .
Re: Rebuild
There's loads of places can do it, woodsport, sbits, rogue, yvs. Being on the outskirts of wales there'll be a fair few places build cars for amateur racers/rally drivers aswell it depends what level of build your looking for
Re: Rebuild
mrtwos in willenhall, nathan there is the only place my tubby goes to and he rebuilt my friends tubby last year all top quality work.
Re: Rebuild
Thanks peeps. I've found that quite a lot of places don't like working on these cars or want anything to do with them. I'm not looking for huge specs thomp, but would like something that would be capable of 350-400
Re: Rebuild
Give Simon at YVS Performance a call, the only specialist you will not hear any bad comments about...
No 2

I'll be heading here for polybushing and health check soon, my dad (ex-mechanic) and his brother who is currently a mechanic have been to have a look around and it seems like a really decent place.

He is very good, Always helped me out over the phone when I needed it too. I got my pistons from him, should have bought my turbo kit from him aswell.
