I`m looking to take my car into a tuner, and the nearest one to me is (see title) in Maidenhead Berks.

I was wondering if anyone on here has used them before?
Does one of the people who works there comes on here?
Are they well priced? Do they carry out car check ups?

In the long term i`m looking to have mild work done to my car to see it near 200bhp, would they carry this work out?

thanks

 

Mark Shead is his name. Brilliant guy, and superb work. Although im sure he doesnt do work on rst's anymore, unless your having Autronic installed.

 

hmmm, doesn't sound too promising already
I`m looking for a well known tuner within a reasonable distance from Newbury berks.

 

could try power engineering in uxbridge

 

tis too far away

 

a chap who lives down the road from me had his Escort Cosworth tuned at MA Developments and it was very fast. Took it up to around 400bhp.

The car was very unreliable however this could just be down to his driving style. Very hard with plenty of abuse.

 

dave_y, So who's car was it as I know all the 400hp engines I have done and none are unreliable.

Mark

 

Are you/is he still dealing with RST's?

 

its a red escort cosworth T34 in the reading area.

am not trying to perceive a bad image of yourself thats why i said its probably more to do with his driving style than anything else.

if i had a cossie i would take it to yourselves cause the car is immense!!!

as was previously stated in the post; do you work on rs turbo's as im lookin get one in the very near future...

 

There is a place in Andover called Millways, who deal with lots of other cars, but really i`m looking to take my car to a specialist, because you get a better quality work.

 

I live at the other end of the road to Van Aaken but like you said i would rather take my car to a specialist.

 

what you looking to have done?

 

i don't know yet! im in-between cars at the moment. im searching for a series 2 turbo.

 

isnt engine advantages near oxford somewhere? theyre sposed to be very modern garage, they did a shoot out in fast ford once

maybe not more like essex, oh well

 

van aaken ive heard bad rumours about the quality
millway i use for my fiesta,dont seem too bad but i suspect they only know the basics

m.a.d i use for my s1 look at the results from other cars he has done...and it has to run on autronic

 

I havent done a Red 400hp Escort cossie,
No I dont do RST anymore usless it is having a Autronic Fitted.

Mark

 

It used to have your company name across the top of the rear window thats why i assumed it had been worked on by yourselves.

Forgive me for sounding stupid but whats autronic....?

 

dave_y, I dont know the car he may have just put a sticker on it,
Autronic is a after market Ecu.

Mark

how much to have autronic fitted please Mark?

 

Prepare to be sat down comfortably

My engine is an 8yr old M.A.Developments built example
As far as I know, the only one to remain in one piece since it was built

Only thing suffering from it now it a tappy head, but for 8yrs old - can't grumble

Oh, and I just keep upping the boost level and power lol - still in one piece

If I ever had the chance I'd love Mark to tune it again in it's current form now I have an excellent metering unit to add on (suffering top end with fuel) and that's WITH a 5th injector (Dark Green)

But, until I win the lottery I guess that won't be happening
