Ok its fairly obvious who I use and I really dont wanna start a war, Steve's started a good thread.

When I first joined the Ford/RS scene I had just got a RS16i I had no idea who could work on it or anything about them.
Opened the yellow pages and went to a company in Wolves. They were very helpfull but it was so obvious they weren't a tuner and just a mechanic into RS/XR cars. Having said that what he did was fine and I was happy.

In Jan last year after an especially lucrative Christmas I knocked on Karls door.. Ok he's a mate too but this time I wanted work doing.

I wanted my 16i to go fast, I wanted to have a track car...
Karl explained my options, what I would get and how fast it would go. Then explained my 16i was the biggest pile of turd he'd seen and that really it wanted scrapping. OH!

Go and by an RST and I'll chip it etc and it will be a better car and faster, But mind.. Make sure you buy a good one... Under Karls guidence I did this and have to say I was very pleased.

It aint about making loads of money with Karl (not suggesting others do) as I know he doesn't have loads- Its about giving the person what they want but being sensible about it and also offering other advice and suggestions to boot.

Ultimatly if u wanna run 40psi through your Standard T3 and you insist, I am sure he would do it. lol
