Default Eclipse tuning sunderland - anyone used them?

Hi, just bought myself a 2010 impreza wrx in White with 22k on the clock, really impressed with it but looking for a little more grunt. Has anyone ever used eclipse in Sunderland or heard of them? Just looking to fit a k&n filter then get them to remap it, looking to have around the 260bhp mark. Just want to see if they're any good before I trust them with it! Any other mods people would suggest? Want to keep it pretty mild and want to leave the exhaust as it is, not a fan of loud exhausts had a fiesta ST before with one and it drove me crackers!

Thanks for help in advance

STAY AWAY!!! ad be interested to read good reports as all av ever heard is how they have ruined people's cars. I wouldn't let them blow my tyres up. Word of mouth is a powerful tool and when everyone av spoke to about them warned u away that's good enough for me. There is a thread in here called de-eclipsing my car. Read that and judge for ur self. But YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

I hear Andy Forrest is the man but it's a 3 plus hour drive from mine so wasn't sure it was worth the trip. If I was tuning my car highly I would make the trip but for a basic remap was hoping I could get the job done more locally!

Thanks for the warning in eclipse, seemed really good and helpful on email but wanted to make sure they were good, I'll have a look at that thread now I'll see if I can find it. Can you recommend any good garages for a remap in the north east?

Ad hate to see someone's pride and joy ruined. Join nesf and tyneteesscoobies as already mentioned by Steve. Get some good feedback about local mechanics and mappers used by both clubs.

Spoke with Darren and it could be ur email provider as they have blocked certain ones like GMail because of the amount of spam they were getting.

If your NE local. Call Finn or Andy Kindon in Chester LS for engine work. Don't use anyone else locally unless Alyn Stockton has time to fit.

Both Bob Rawle and Andy Forrest visit to map locally. You don't need to go out of the area.

If you don't have numbers do a search or PM me.
