Really??

As ever, you should always pick a tuner based on quality of work, not distance. Luckily for you there's a handful of good tuners not too far away.

What's actually up with the car?

I have total respect for Collins.. except the gender changing stuff.. !

They are infact the suppliers and makers of technology behind many of the well respected tuners !!

If you want to stay to Stoke i would use Michael Hall (ex turbosystems) and he will be a lot cheaper too.

Other than that i would recomend NMS.

I think he still does,in years gone by ALL my mates used Mark and George if they had a S1 or S2 and some still do with Cosworth's and Subaru's.
For me if money was no object I would go to Tony,may as well get it right first time imo.
Make a choice and pay your money,but where ever you take it dont be surprised if they moan about fixing some one else's work.
