Good to have you here guys
:
Can you tell us a bit more about yourselves, and what you do
No problem , JW Racing as a business was conceived in 2000 by a chap known as Jamie Whitfield (hence the name) , sadly he got himself into financial difficulties and owing a large sum of money to my other business it was felt best if he handed over ownership rights to release his debt!
This all happened 2004/05 , Jamie continued to work for us for a while managing his old business but i had to let him go when it was apparent his heart was no longer in the job, i took full control a couple of years back.
Since then we have tried to maintain the original ethos of the business which was to specialise on certain vehicles rather than generalise, this was primarily the Subaru marlet where at one time JW Racing was held in resonably high esteem by the owners clubs and generated healthy sales.
We have concentrated on producing a new website which went live in late 2006 , adding to the number of vehicles catered for and implementing some new and exciting brands along the way , the site is a work in progress and as such some sections have yet to 'go live' and some that are live may still be bereft of complete listings, howvever this is improving daily, with new listings add each and every day and old listings reviewed and improved in equal measure alongside
JW Racing's business was always primarily internet based but we are equally happy to speak to anyone on the phone (0845 123 2829) or face to face if you wanna visit
Whilst we have stuck to the roots of the original plan Jamie had for the business , with typical street / track day tools like the Mitsubishi Evo , Subaru Impreza , Ford Focus RS and the good ol' Cosworth!! we are now keen to nurture the business in the direction of some of the more upmarket vehicles looking to broaden our horizons into the Audi, Porsche (in particular) , Ferrari , Aston Martin & Lamborghini market
We have a wide selection of high quality wheels specifically designed for the high end market place , listings growing in this area all the time! , we have recently joined forces with a well known tuning facility @ Thruxton race circuit for all our ECU remapping , this is a bespoke service where either the customer can enjoy the day out seeing their car rolling road tested both on a before and after basis (with printouts) as well as seeing the work going into having their vehicle individually re - mapped for optimum perfomance and drivability (courtesy car provided if they do not wish to sit through the full process) or we will arrange for the work to be completed on their behalf and they simply pick the car up from our premises once completed - none of this is on the site yet but again a work in progress - some of the vehicles catered for include , Audi RS4 / RS6 , Bentley GT, BMW 330i , 330D , M3 , M5 , Ferrari 255 , 360 , Merc SL55 AMG / 65AMG , Porsche 996 / Turbo , 997S , Cayenne , Cayman Etc Etc in fact we have over 10,000 historical data files so it is more likely we can do a car than it is we cant!!
In terms of accessories , all the usual stuff , wheels & tyres as mentioned (Yokohama dealers) , Suspension systems (distributors for Cross for the Porsche trackday equipment) , Exhaust systems (again Cross do some beautiful stainless and titanium for the Porsche range) , Brake Systems (AP Racing , Tarxo & Rotora) , Carbon Fibre (Particularly Louts , BMW , Audi) Brake Lines (Goodridge) , Silicone Hosing (Samco / SFS) , Clutches (AP Racing , Helix , Exedy , Sachs) , Brake Pads (Mintex EBC , Ferodo , Performance Friction) Etc etc
that lot will likely bore you enough for now , if you would like to knwo anythig in particular or feel we should make an effort in a particular area to assist on the Pure GT site then let me know , we will always offer the best price we can on any given products, it may not always be the cheapest but we will certainly do our best!!
as for me , well im just a petrol head , trying to make a living out my hobby , sadly lacking in trackday practise , well trained in the art of eating curries and drinking beer , closing in on my 40th year and beginning to realise theres no going back!
