Default 4WD ROLLING ROADS IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Where can I take my sapphire for a good looking at to see if a cutting out, non running under load issue can be sorted out. It's on P8 with ALS, Air 2 Air etc if this makes any difference.

Anyone experience of Wallace Performance in Aberdeen??

Would need to be a good safe bunch if you know what I mean!!

Any recomendations gratefully received

Not heard very good things about wallace performnce matey and they dont really specialise in fords. They do jap & vauxhalls

AVA are meant to be good with fordies.

I personally take mine down to MSD in blackpool. Bit of a trek but worth the extra few hours travel for the best

They dont have 4x4 rolling roads.

You dont need that though. MSD take your car out in live road conditions.

Where do you stay ?

Think I'll bin the event this weekend and get in touch with someone like Stu and have her done right, maybe go for racing fuel whilst I'm at it

Restrictor holds it back to 300 mark but torque figure is well over 400, running on greys.

Think theres a v6 one around Inverness

Due to driving conditions, I would have said nip down to AVA as soon as, but you may have to dig your way there! lol!
That way it will be fixed correctly.

Crail has one of the DMSC rally rounds. Well worth seeing all that Mk2 Escorts, Cossies, Pugs, Metro 6R4's, etc, etc being nailed round the entire airfield.
Worth every minute, if you get the chance to get down there.

Do they know a lot about cossies ? They look more jap orientated.

Thinking of buying and rx-7 or skyline next year so might be a good place to go. Do they specialise in a particular car/model ?
