Ray at autopoint is a F*****G builder, he happens to own a small garage in Harleston, but he went from being a builder to a RR operator!!
My escort mk2 auto gained 23bhp after his tune up, ie when it was done PROPERLY, maybe that is why he is now SHUT ?
He still does diesel chips from his farm though.
Dirk and Rich, are very likeable chaps, who I also used, they could do a good job, IF THEY COULD BE BOTHERED, they weren't always bothered, but could turn out good work, many disgruntled customers with ray though.
He ran my MODIFIED escort at std ignition timing, when I enquired about a timing swing he said "not needed", different CR, different cam, different carb, different head, different exhaust.
I restricted the max advance by bending the pegs in to stop weights moving out so far, then gave it another 6-8 degrees initial advance, after farting around for a whole day it was perfect, and a subsequent run on RAY's rollers showed a 23bhp gain, 4 days later.
