Revington Tr

Postby john » 29 Oct 2009 08:46

Niel Revington was present at our club night this week down here in the Wessex area and a very interesting fellow he is.. rally'ing his Tr2 and 4 around the world.. even in australia[:D]



Now i've always shy'd away from this company mostly becuase they mainly deal with the early TR's so i was very surprised to find that he does indeed hold a lot of stock of original parts for our seven and eights and he has developed some interesting upgrades, as he not one to shy away from developing all the TR range..

He even has a fuel injection kit and some rather expensive but effective brake upgrades..

typical TR man very chatty and very helpful

i think most of us give Revington a miss but interestingly he also owns superpro polybushes..

I got my uprated shocks & springs kit from Revington - nice quality kit & helpful advice at the time.

From what I have seen, their work is of a high standard.

They have a fabulous set of workshops in a fabulous location. And as for the TRS replicas they offer, I'll take two please!

Looks really good. Do you have a picture of the back, of the caliper mounting? I imagine this set up avoids the custom adaptor. How much would the steel custom adaptor weigh?

I was thinking of this kit and must admit that the pics posted are good.

I also looked at the HiSpec site - http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/billet_4.htm

Neil Revington has several kits for the TR7.
Mine is fairly extreme, and only worthwhile if you trash the living daylights out of your car on a regular basis [:D]
