Default Rolling Roads in the South Wales area...

i want to get me car on some rollers to check the air/fuel, get the timing set up and get the boost turned up to as much as possible before det.

Interpro has been suggested. i've been looking for their website but can't find anything.?

i'd prefer not to travel to the other side of the country and i also want a place that will be able to fit me in! no 2 month waiting lists. i can go on any week day so i should be able to slot in.

i'll be coming from Cardiff.

i wouldnt go to interpro either really, but they are dead close.

has your car got the means to adjust fueling and/or ign on it has it? Ie PowerFC or sumat?

the closest place id trust to actually adjust things on the car and not fuck it up is Mech Repairs in Cheltenham TBH mate.

not got anything like PowerFC. i testing out a chip thats designed for my spec so i need to see the air/fuel mixture. the ignition can be advance/retarted with the CAS on the exhaust cam. the boost is controlled by a Bren device which is basically a dawes device.

nothing high tech (yet)

Dont like interpro as i dont belive they have a clue, esp about stuff they dont do every day.

Mech specialise in wierd and wonderful stuff, so somthing not common but pretty simple like your needs will be easy for em.

No website, the place is well old fashioned, lol.

Good fans, good accurate rollers (so youl prob end up with a lower figure than a lot of places, lol), but most of all, operators that know about tuning.

Dont think 1hr will be enough, not to have a play with the ign n boost, try 2 or 3 (we spent 7.5hrs setting up my old GTT but we was going mega serious on it, still didnt cost that much mind, lol)

Fairly cheap tho.

Give em a bell, explain what you got, what you want, and most of all, whats adjustable on the car with regard to fuel/ign/boost, and see what they say.
