What do you actually mean by "tune up"?

tune as in get it running right, or tune as in change bits to actually take it to a different specification (such as running more boost?)

Either way, talk to Martin Hadland from Reyland Motorsport if you are in the midlands as he is local to you.

Anything you want (and i really do mean anything, lol) he will either be able to do himself or put you in touch with someone else who can.

if its setting up i wouldnt go ANYWHERE other than MSD,,, just the level of service and the advice and everything they do,, seriously they check the car before going out in it and i dont mean the oil and coolant levels

they then sort the best that they can and tell you about it EVERYSTEP of the way

then they give advice on the possible problems there may be for the reason you car wasnt running right,,, or even tell you stuff you never knew like the fuel reg is leaking a little bit and needs changing,,, not many people check then when setting the car up

honestly i wouldnt take my can ANYWHERE but them,,, id also recomend maybe getting his chip to match as there about 150 or 200 quid,,, but the car runs better and gives better fuel economy,,, i also loost my 6 foot flame out the rear on quick gear changes

ive argued with LOADS of people who use other tuners based in small villages in essex

they all been there and was happy, the they got unhappy and got a BETTER service from msd AND THE BILLS WHERE HALF THE PRICE THEY PAYED !!!

a mate of mine spent MORE money for a "base map" with the extra bills attached he was told needed and then found out he was given a N/A map with extra fueling but no igniton changes and NO map sensor settings,,,, he filled up THREE TIMES on the way to blackpool doing 60mph and topped up the car on the way back after filling up in blackpool doing a little more than 60

he now wont go anywhere else and ive also heard the person who recomended the "other" tuner has hes car booked in for a live map with stu due to him not being interested in setting his car up for closed loop on his ecu



ps: im not a mate of stus or kennys and i also no longer own a ford,,, but there is no other place i would go as i got MORE than good service from him that i expected,,, the good prices also helps cause im a tight cunt
