Default Where to get a car set-up in Glasgow (ish)

I've got a FRST engined car and AVA's men are away untill monday and I'm due to head back to uni on sunday and I need my car checked over and the fueling set as its overfueling a fair bit at the moment (popping lots). I dont want to turn the boost up and put on the chip untill someone who knows what they are doing has had a look and a check of the air/fuel ratio.

Can anyone name anywhere else which might be able to do it? There is a place called Ace Performance in carnwath that I thought i might give a call in the morning. Anyone know them?

Cheers
JAmes.

do yourself a favour and dont go anywhere near ace perfprmance. derek made a right cunt of the cosworth conversion on my bmw from basic shoddy work to down right dangerous corner cutting.and he didnt seem to know how to work his rolling road as he had bought it second hand and had no training in how to use it.

i tried robinson tuning after recommendations for stage 3 parts and set up. i gave up after calling them back 3 times when they still hadnt bothered working out a price.

Personally i would wait and go to AVA mate cause it would be more than worth it!

Heard a few bad reports on ACE so would avoid there!

StarPerformance in Kirkcaldy
Dastek in Dalgety Bay

Not heard many bad stories about either. Bit of a trek from Glasgow but not too far
