I ran a business from there a few years ago, I know a lot of the locals and use Glyn for engines and shell fabrication.

I had a orange mk2 if you remember it

Will check out your pics now

Wow....

First thing guys we have 3 fans in house a real large one and two smaller fans,normally used on the lotus intercoolers that we map with the 1.8T vw engine.

The guy in charge has mapped cars for years and has actully worked at COSWORTH on the F1 engine they once had.

If you have loads of questions, just pop down and have a look for your self,if its not for you, so be it.

We did have a cossie powered mk2 escort on the rollers last year, that made 350 @ the fly.That bad part was he rolled it on the way home due to the new found power.

We are also in the stages of parts collecting for a turbo new mini which we are hoping to make close on 500 hp .

Any questions call 01234 376089
