Welcome to Ian Jemison Engineering - alloywheelrepairs.com - a family run business based at Home Farm, Bishopthorpe just 3 miles outside York. The business, established in 1977 by Ian, originally concentrated on the manufacture and repair of Motorsport components and competition cars. Over the years they have been proud to be entrusted with the repairs and refurbishment of wheels for Prodrive Subaru, Rallyart Mitsubishu, Hyundai, Triple Eight and Jaguar.
Aluminium and magnesium welding has always been a large part of the business and this has led to a specialisation in the repair and refinishing of aluminium and magnesium wheels, now accounting for 80% of the business.

Porsche
Report
The car was originally fitted with a 3.4 litre Porsche 996 engine fitted with our own 6 throttle body injection system and dta ecu but this has been replaced recently by a 3.8 997 engine which was rebuilt by Strasse in Leeds.
The engine uses a Dta S80 pro ECU which operates the variable valve timing and variable valve lift of the standard engine A lightweight flywheel and twin plate clutch are also fitted.
The car uses a standard gearbox but is fitted with a 4-1final drive and a Kaas LSD.
The suspension uses a standard Boxster geometry, but this is all fabricated in steel which gives the durability required for rallying.

Rallying
Report
Ian Jemison started his rallying career as a co driver in the first Chevette that he built for the late "Piggy" Thompson and then went on to become a driver, his first rally car was a Ford Escort Mk2, followed by a number of Vauxhall Chevettes in both 2.6 single cam and 2.3 twin cam HSR forms.
Always eager to build something different Ian built a mid engined Vauxhall Nova fitted with one of the first 2.0 litre Vauxhall red top engines to be used for competition.
This was used with great success for 8 years and was then replaced with yet another Chevette, this time fitted with a 3.0 litre Vauxhall Omega V 6 engine.
