Big thanks to Jamie at Jamsport
So, bit of a weird one... But i met Jamie afew weeks ago, seemed a nice genuine guy. Then yesterday at Brands Hatch, i had afew issues with my car and my bro's Mk1 Fiesta, Jamie was more than happy to lend a hand and assist me in getting both cars back on track for the rest of the day!
So just wanted to say you guys could do alot worse than going to see Jamie @ Jamsport! |

Might be a nice bloke but they fcuked up my focus rs big time, would not take my lads pedal car to them now, bunch of bloody pikeys, jamcock lol
|
Their business reputation is frankly shocking.
Of course people aren't always going to have a bad experience - glad you got sorted... |
Can't comment on their service as i have no first hand knowledge but nice to hear they were willing to pitch in and help. Rare people make the effort nowerdays.
|
I always take my Fiesta ST to Jamsport and never had any problems.
Nice guys and always great service. |
I know quite a few tuners and most the ones who get slated is because they either tell someone the truth or people won't admit the reality most cars they touch ain't new and the more you squeeze out a engine the more problems you get!
And as customers we always try to do it cost effective at times. Just my opinion. I work in retail and I have seen people slate my company yet my biggest turnover is form repeat custom so goes both ways. |
Numerous cars wrecked by them, plus the whole secret/not so secret block mod they ripped people off with are just the tip of the iceburg
In a saturated market there is little point in taking the risk with them. |
Fair play for helping you out but have to say our experience was rubbish. Loads of help and advice when we were looking at Gotech for my brothers build. Purchased the ECU and loom where the assistance and correspondence dried up completely. They only seemed interested in telling us our spec was rubbish and that we needed their inlet and their exhaust manifold etc. Ended up selling the ECU unused at a significant loss.

Could people give details on cars they have messed up. Only ask as my focus RS mk 2 is mapped by them, and to be honest I've never really been over the moon with it. But as yet had no issues either. I was planing on having a bigger hp map done as from what I can gather revo 4+ does not feel as powerful as js420. Puma speed and jamsport from what I've read use DNA maps, would not use mountune as I don't use any of their hardware and jwr have had people switch from there maps to revo, revo maps apparently kill piston ring landings so who do you chose really.

AFAIK scc and msd are the only people than can map these properly

Devil Developments supplies MSD maps I believe. They do a Syvecs standalone ECU conversion, which is the tits! Ah ok thought they did a live map rather than just lift the torque limits The syvecs does look cool on the specs http://www.syvecs.co.uk/products/ford-focus-rs/ |
What was the block mod?
|
Basically a Stanley blade tapped in between the liners! Lol
Well, a metal shim and it stops the liners cracking or moving. Does the job though, a few 500+bhp cars are holding together fine with it. |
How much did this cost?

Can't remember, around £2000 I think? Obviously it does require a bit of labour.
Most tuners charge around £800 for it now I think. |
Funny how you here so much negative comments about Jamsport , I always thought they'd be very good but obviously not .
Never been there but after reading such comments I doubt I ever will . |
I know of a few people had issues with them .
One being a mk1 focus rs and Jamie couldn't sort it out for love nor money . Ripped him off big style and car didn't run at all well |
With every tuner there will be horror stories, Jamsport are no different, there are probably double the amount of happy customers than unhappy
Personally I did homework when it came to tuning my ST and used Devil's and car has been faultless since and I went to the block mod master Tim Williams |
Whenever I've seen Jamsports fiesta's on track at ford fair they always look like they go very well.

Love the tags :cry:

thanks for all your nice comments |
FairPlay to Jamie for replying, every tuner no dought has stories of problems and unhappy customers. But it's how you deal with the problems. Hats off to you for helping someone out but it's us that keep your business going and without us you wouldn't be trading.

Sad thing is bad news travels a lot faster then good news. Jamsport must be doing something right to be around as long as they have.

A lot over priced it and didn't offer any guarantee it would work. |
So the owner comes on, doesn't address any of the claims, nor apologise.
Stay away! |
