jano is spot on mate, look at his demo cars to see the quality of his work, ive used him before and been well happy. everytime i go there he has invented a new mod that works better on rst's, dunno ho he does it!

there is also grove garage in hornchurch essex, they have a good rep.

100% Jano. The chap is a legend. I've phoned him on several occasions at 10-11 PM asking him about wiring, fueling etc and he always picks up and offers advice. My Cossie ECU is currently with him so he can chec what chips inside and write a base map for me to get my car down to him. It's a 340 mile round trip but after the FREE advice and help he's given me I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

A friend of mine bought a car that had been setup by oddkidd creations and the car was dog slow and would not pull skin off rice pudding.... rang them and they said that car is really fast. depends on what you are after and how well you would like it doing nms do the job throughly and get it done right first time never heard any bad thing about there work

dan-dan, unless they had only just picked the car up that night from Jano, thats hardly a fair comment, anything could have happened to it since it was setup otherwise!

Only takes 10 mins to mess around with the fueling/timing/add or take something off and mess it up though. Hardly a fair comment.

Dan-Dan, As per what I said then, anything could have happened in those 2 weeks, so its hardly fair to imply it means something about how it was setup in the first place.

Im sure Karl who you are recomending does setups on some cars that then go wrong due to something totally unrelated soon after, and every other tuner for that matter.

thats not a fair thing to say dan-dan as thats how tunners ending up getting a bad rep, bearing in mind that jano has a rwd 400bhp cossie powered series 2 if he says its fast im sure its fast. but as you say i depends what you use to

I took my cab turbo to Jano and done the 300 odd mile trip for it. He set it all up and it drove like a new car on the way back. Unfortuantely due to me,the head gasket started to let go so i got a stg3 head put back on and got someone local to set it up for me.It runs ok now but definitely not as good as when Jano done it.Will be taking it back down there when i got some funds - and all for a good price too.

I use NMS,reason being that there is more NMS RST's doing trackdays on a regular basis,that produce the goods and are reliable than any other tuner.Regards,Micky

No offense to the guy but anyone could put a 400bhp cossie lump in a escort and make it rwd that not really a fare coment either. what i said was my opinion so it wont make any difference to others as they have there own opinions, i wasent saying it to be a arse i was making my point for others to make there own minds up.

fair enough,

but i dont think anyone could put a cossie engine in a rst, for a start the engine is ther other way around.
