A couple of my mates took their cars there just for a power run, can't remember the owners name but he was quite helpful.

I think their building some mental RST quoted to be on the same lines as Jamsports.

No idea how good they are at mapping though

You and me both mate.

My mate with the M3 ended up taking his car to Stu @ MSD for mapping, a very worthwhile drive, even if it is 3 hrs away !

You'll be buggered if you want it mapping as very very few people offer mapping for OFAB and OFAC.

Steve runs the company and he used to work for PTS

Very helpful, he's done all the work on my zetec turbo and the service has been second to none, he's even worked Sundays and late nights to finish my car off.

My car runs 250 bhp with 340 lbs of torque and the whole set up is spot on!

Nick and Steve started the company but Nick left after a few months.

Steve carried on by relocating, etc....

It was a joke, not a fabulous one but a joke nonetheless. Frankenstein's monster was constructed from several guys.

First time I heard of Frankenstein was through a car who owned a flip painted uno, so presume its the same person. was indeed mental power.

that gartrac escort was at a PTS shootout I attended years ago, think it was a fast ford day

i know a bloke at work took his car to frankenstien to finish off his zetec turbo conversion and did a good job by all accounts.
