mikeanics in congleton is your best bet, 300bhp 2wd and 600bhp 4wd, pretty good bloke and he maps alot of rally cars, seems honest and his bhp figures are pretty accurate

You normally do at RR, just make sure whichever one you choose to use, it is the same one that you go back to, otherwise you won't be able to accurately plot progress due to the inevitable slight differences, the one I use for example does his calibration about once a month, with weight and measure.

wen u say his print outs arent the best is this just visually? Seen as this post is few months old, is there any other places recommend to map my 1.8 mk1 focus?

Or are people still impressed with mikeanics?

mikes a nice guy ...very straight and honest and good at what he does to
and i think what blunty means is that his printouts are very basic!!
will add a pic of mine for you later
and unlike most tuners bhp figures his rr is the same as him ...no bullshit figures

turvotoaster - thats doesnt bother me really, longs his RR doesnt give BS figures lol

t4 and greys -thanks for the reply. longs he does a good a job and like u said doesn give BS figures im happy. Iv dropped him mail as im at work but if i get no reply will drop him a call.

Not sure if any1 will no but does he fit aftermarket camshafts or dial them in? Also is it recomended to get cams fitted and dialled in by same gargage or doesnt it matter?

Sorry if its goin abit off topic

Matt
