Couldn't have recomended anyone better than tremona...... First class and they'll sort it out for you.

I think you'll see their standard of work, the moment you go into their workshop..... It's more like a laboratory. Absolutely Immaculate ...... Way too clean to be a garage.

I live in Soton, and have done for 7 years and I feel like such a berk that I only discovered tremona lasy year. They have been friendly and always seem to know the answer to anything I ask them (although where do baby's come from threw them for a second!!).

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else for servicing, which is gonna be tricky when I move oop North

Cheers

Matt

Power Engineering's Rolling Road is only capable of recording up to 400bhp...So won't be bothering. Went there three weeks ago and it maxed out the rollers.

Might drive the BMW up there just to meet up with the guys, but won't be taking the cossie (No Road Tax)............

BMW is a nicer drive anyway......Lol

In that case...Tremona is the place to go. If it'd just needed a good check over I'd have given you a hand, but if it's not boosting and don't feel right, the Tremona will sort it for you.

as said the boys @ tremona are top class (rich, malcolm and rob)

they dont do mapping, but do pretty much everything else.



One of only a handful of places i would trust implicitly with my car

I haven’t tried Tremona yet myself, only heard good things though

Quick question for you guys about powder coating, do you have the parts bead blasted first? If so how do you stop little pieces of bead getting stuck in inlet? Also can they mask off areas like the injector holes (technical term) so they don’t end up slightly smaller when the paints applied?



You gone for a Blue rocker now Jim?
