Default where in scotland can i find the best ford tuners?

i live on the east coast of scotland and i was wondering if there is anywhere around that specialises in tunning ford focus or even just fords... also where can i find a rolling road that will be able to set me up and test my car out?

cheers doug king

depends where about you are mate, how far you want to travel and what you want to get done, there are a couple of places near aberdeen i would recommend, the newest one being Japerformance, he specializes in Jap stuff mainly but he can turn his hand to anything.

Yeah Jim king in inverurie aberdeenshire i think has one, star performance in glenrothes, wallace performance in bridge of don aberdeen, Japerformance ellon in aberdeen, a few more i think. Japerformance is a new place, but the guy simon is spot on.

Theres also Daztek in Dalgety bay, not far from the Forth Road bridge. There rolling road is state of the art and the guys really know their stuff. Star performance are good as well although they really specialise in the VAG cars.

thats the funniest thing i have heard all year....

the guy that owns dastek came on my local forum to talk about his rolling road...

the only stament that stood out for me in his discussion was " power measured at the wheels is pointless"

i stopped reading after that...


have had my problems with star too
