Just had the T350 in to Str8Six for the service & to sort out (what turned out to be) quite a long list of problems.

I highly recommend Jason & his team @ Str8Six - top notch service and the car feels and runs better than ever.

Couldn't agree more, after my 10yrs experiences with S6's. I hear they've got an open day tomorrow to show off their work & performance goodies.

I think the open day is next Sat - I could be wrong though.

I took mine there to have a 'just bought it' checkover this week and a coolant drip sorted (engine return pipe needed resealing). They seem like a sound bunch. Excellent courtesy cars too.

I tend to prefer the one with the amazing sound system!!!

Just had a rebuild with them, very flexible in their approach and will do all they can to please. Attention to detail is very high as Graham says...

I think Jason said they were £180 come in a variety of colours. Not sure if this a outright purchase or an exchange. No labour to fit as it will be done when the heads off for service.

That seems cheap - is this the same idea as the Raceproved item? http://www.raceproved.com/speed-six-cam-cover/

BTW, you only have one head, unless you have a V6 or V8 in your T car?

Its coz I carnt spell!

Its not as flash as the Raceproved item. Basically its the same as the std cover but the casting is slightly different inside and there are fingers that guide (drip) the oil to all the right places to minimise wear. If you were considering the raceproved item have a chat with Jason and he will explain what he thinks about it...

As I wanted a powder coated cover to make the engine look a little better it looked good value as it was going to cost about £100 to get mine coated

Excellent - Glad to hear that it's OK. Did you plan to buy it back or was it pure luck that it came back on the market. It's almost like you put it in storage for a few months. Really good story with a happy ending. But keep it this time.

No, I didn't plan to buy it back, but things ended up coming together nicely.
