Default Redline Tuning Basildon

Has anyone used these guys before, seeing as they are the most local tuners with a 4x4 rolling road.

Had a few looks on google for people experience and it seems a mixed bag of they aint got a clue to good.

Website looks abit "Max Power" or chavvy?

Cool

Never heard of them but sometimes it's worth having a punt having something small done to see if they're any good. Can't be any worse than some of the would be specialists in Essex

FB Tuning in Maidenhead is fully recommended and worth a phone call if you want timely no bull$hit Subaru advice



Recently had a full front subframe and handling upgrade at FB Tuning



Welcome btw

if your looking to go on rollers -i highly recommend http://www.hayesdynotech.co.uk/
I had my evo dyno'd there and found them to be very helpful and knowledgable.

I have used Redline in the past!!

Had a new rad fitted there a few months back. No real complaints about workmanship but they all seemed pretty disinterested in my car when I turned up to collect and any questions I had were met with a shrug of shoulders. Didn't really fill me with confidence so wont be going back there and next time I need work doing I will take it down to FB, as recommended by 53 (mainly because they have worked on his s202 and he has highly recommended them to me)
