Default Rolling road tuners around Newcastle Upon Tyne

Are there any good rolling road tuners in this area, that are well familiar with Omex management?

Best place i could think of that acually sells Omex and therefore should be familiar with the system is PJ Motorsport and Aldon, both are located around Wolwerhampton, then there is Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield.

Well Lane is the closest so far, 125 miles

R&P Woods do you know where he is located?

Is R&P Woods the place up from south gosforth, next to ATS? Have heard mixed reviews if it is, although not tried there myself. Think its only a 2wd RR so no good for me anyway..

Definate lack of RR tuners in the north east, or put another way niche in the market for someone!

Simple answer is NO

I know of 3 cossie engines Andy Urwin has built that haven't lasted a year never met him or had work done there myself but i've never met anyone who'd go back twice.

R+P Woods are ok for simple super chipping but not really that good at fault finding. Again never used them but know of loads who have and again most woundn't go back.

Try Stu at MSD in Blackpool,also the gaffor of this site i'm sure he'll point you in the right direction if he can't help himself

I spoke to Paul Woods when I had my Uno Turbo and he said then he mapped Emerald and I'm sure he mentioned Omex. , try him on 0191 2810748 or you could go with Stu as I'm sure he'd be the man for the job
