Integrale gone for her Op..

[WIJ933]

So the time has come for the Integrale to for her op to have her cambelts renewed. I drove her down to John Whalleys and was shown round by the man himself..

The man is SO geared up for Integrale's.There must have been 9-10 grale's there for work from UK and Europe. John spent 20mins with me showing me his Integrale Alladin's cave. John is so knowledgable and willing to explain the technical elements of the car, but MAN does he talk..... wife was getting a little rattled waiting in her car to take me home. Can't wait to pick her up and spend more time talking to John Whalley learning about the car and what to look out for.

Quite handy handy behind the wheel too (or at least he was 10 years ago)! Get him to take you out and show you what the car can do if you get a chance.

Have just started thinking of getting an integrale again.

Was a toss up between an integrale and an E30 M3 10 years ago until John took me for a spin in his car. Had no idea a car could grip like that!

That picture of your car is making me wish I never sold mine, as I had a Giallo Evo 2 until about 4 years ago.

How long have you had yours?

And by the way, where is the rear spoiler?

She's mid way through a spoiler strip and the alloy blocks being resprayed. Had her around 6 months having flew to Edinburgh on a wimm to buy it. Drives awesomely. Just heard from Whalleys:

The cambelt went without a hitch. John run his eyes over the car and only found two bushes, a window regulator, and a a rubber suspension mount......... thank Christ

So she's got a truly clean bill of health, so now she's ready for the Nring!!

Can vouch for that as well - first time i took mine there he took it up the road with me as passenger, still remember thinking brake, brake! Top bloke. ETA giallo fly Evo looks quality.
