B3's 2004 - Swift Performance Aylesbury

Post by Wellsy » Mon Sep 12, 2022 11:44 am

Morning all,

Spotted this morning parked outside Swift Performance in Aylesbury. I was popping into DM Worx next door for a few little bits on mine.

Yh couldnt see the build number with the dew over the windows and wasn't about to start wiping it off for a look. Bob did mention it might be someone on here. Be interesting to see what's being done at Swift as I want to talk to them about a few things too.

Hi RC,

Apologies plate removed.

I'm interested in what Swift do, as I only live down the road in Princes Risborough. Do they do things like 4 wheel alignment or is it more performance upgrades? I would like at some point to look at a brake upgrade for me D3 Biturbo.

Cheers Mark.

thats great thanks

let me know as/when you want to pop over and i will tee up russ
they are now focused on track prep, geo and upgrades rather than service and related work but they do service my two and do so on select basis for others

Hi ya,

No problem will do, I've recently been using DM Worx next door for servicing and general stuff. The guy's in there are really helpful. I'll let you know when I'm ready to talk to them so a heads up would be great.

Thanks

russ and stu used to jointly own dmw since it was incorporated so i was using dmw from 2011 to when SP launched. they still refer work to each other and help each other out but target different markets albeit principally bmw focused although russ is into those fast yaris things as well

I popped in for a chat with Tim, Russ was out, they are looking at suspension options for me. Dropped you a PM but if you're speaking to them and drop a nice word in, I'd be grateful.

Cheers Mark.
