Yeah its a rare skill outside of somewhere like my workplace. I operate a 4wd dyno which costs 10x the amount of those you see in any tuner/garage. Its also better to have a car mapped on a dyno for consistency. The previous owner of my car had it mapped on the road and they were claiming it was pushing around 380bhp.... a major difference to 315bhp which it is actually running at lol.

Yeah I've not heard overly brilliant things about scooby clinic either, API seem ok but they like to sell you stuff you likely don't need. Whereas Mark will ask what spec YOU want from the car and suggest the means to getting it. Eg I now need around £4k worth of additions to get from 315bhp upto 420ish. One good point is that he's good at mapping vehicles, so you're not having to pay for someone to come in to do the work like API who don't have their own individual who can map an ecu which always costs a great deal more. The other one to watch is the likes of fast !Removed!, whilst a couple of them are nice lads, they're not specialists or highly experienced. For example they set up the suspension on my WRX without using the camber adjustment on the top mounts which causes the wheel to catch. Almost highlighting the lack of experience and knowledge in how things should be set up.

Upto you mate, he will answer emails etc but up until now he's not on any sites like west mids imprezas who are the main group for our area. We've been offered some regular overtime at work which over the proposed 3 months could equal me getting a new turbo and fmic for the motor... and I'll def be bugging him for it all :)

Highly unlikely to be fair, best bet for quotes/information on having work done is to email him via the website. He doesn't advertise a great deal or try to take trade from others. I guess most of his work comes in via word of mouth and repeat customers. For example I now would not go anywhere else to have work done on my vehicle. Unfortunately he doesn't bother with the likes of FB with being so busy.

Nice one, thanks I'll be reading that tonight :) Looks like the systems differ a bit between the hatch and new age cars. Mike

Yep yep yep :D Probably needs a front mount though, then a decent turbo. Both are going to cost £1200+ each though...... damn cars lol

What size is the pipe?

Yeah mate, it was this motor, a R33 Gtr or a red R34 Gtt that I'd seen for sale. Pretty glad I got this as at least I dont have the issues of a 18/19 year old motor like the R33.

All it needs really is a bigger turbo and can get some decent power from it ;) But before that I want to change the tyres and anti roll bars. Still yet to get my head around the elec diff settings... Really should read the manual about them lol.

Hello all, this is my replacement for the silver blobeye I sold. Mods include front splitter, vinyl'd roof and scoop, spoiler supports, prodrive alloys and springs, double din headunit, stage 3 clutch, full decat system with prodrive exhaust at rear. The best bit.. a forged engine with uprated crank, pistons, conrods, flywheel, and so on. Still on the standard turbo at the moment so only running 315bhp but it pulls well being the 2.5 engine.

Thought I'd better update this! The car went early in December so it's no longer for sale, the fella by me bought it as he knows everything I've done and where all the work has been done (Thwaites) The replacement you'll be pleased to know

Just a bit of info I'll add it has just been taxed... MoT will be done early December or sooner should someone be interested in the vehicle. I've no doubt in it passing as it's not long been in the air and the only issue was a dodgy cv boot which was replaced a couple of days later! Could be wrong about it, but was just the questions seemed to be from maybe someone new to it all.

Could always just buy my car ;) I think the fella is a bit intimidated by the aspect of a modified/tuned vehicle. Luckily theres someone who's seriously interested in having it in the new year.

Just open up yours and spray the inside black ;) I got them from a friend who breaks imprezas and had them on his own :D

I'm not sure I want you in my head at night ;)

I like the sound of the straight six though ;) Me impreza would handle better no doubt... Quiet Gambit lol

Hey Gambit, yeh just sent him a lengthy reply :) Kev where roughly are you from? The new car I'm hoping will be a fresh import.. Im swaying more towards another R33 at the minute, miss my Skyline. The impreza is awesome and leaves pretty much everything in its dust but a skyline I can make stand out more ;)

I've known a few people wanting a wrx through WMI but for some reason they all want to buy a standard one cheap then spend on modding it themselves so they know whats been done... Only all the work on mine has been done by API or TD Racing which you can't really get a fat lot better than. The rest is done by myself and I'm a mech/technician for JLR and our cars are worth from £20k upto £200k lol. I guess they don't want to save money buying one like mine :D

Lots of views... must be worth looking at then :D If interested bug me on here!

BUMP :D Open to sensible offers. There is also the possibility to return the suspension to standard at which I'd reduce the price a bit, however the car is awesome as it is and handles brilliantly.

Not a fan of the gold personally. Get some decent rays on that car lol. Or some proper rally wheels :)

Hi Guys, this is where most of the work on my vehicle was done including the remap which provides a great example of a power/torque graph and how it should be done. The main fella is Mark and he knows his stuff. Friendly person and very helpful. Cant say enough good about the place :D Link - http://tdracing.co.uk

Love the car but the wheels are cack...

My old R33 GTS-T - Sprayed in Bayside blue which is an R34 colour initially. I'd prefer the R33 GTR to be honest, prefer the styling. The R34 is a little square to me.
