If you use scoobyclinic they will take the **** out of you. There will be “all sorts “ wrong with it. It’s like giving them a blank cheque.
Maybe consifer twaites if they are closer. I’ve only heard good things

Hung up the phone to RCM.. after asking about mapping and power for my 05 sti

Guys like with all due respect you called me.. I'm telling you not to go more then 350bhp.. wtf...not being funny but that was rude and poor service..

Anyway..they said dont go more then 350bhp on standard internals...but I am running 320bhp already with a standard turbo...

who did you speak to ?, ........ but it is good advice not to go over a certain limit on standard engine , after all he might of save to a few ££ with that advice as engine rebuild is not cheap , if you want more power you need to think about a forged engine and upgrade parts as well .
Rcm should know as they are one of the best in the business .

I had a good experience there, Put the car on the ramps and walked me all round showing me all of the underneath, checked all the fluids/levels, brakes, suspension. Popped it on the rollers to check the fuelling with a printout. Looked around the various projects they had in, Showed me the paint booth and the engine building room, everything looked spotless. Only thing that needed adjusting was the handbrake but they did that for free. Everyone i spoke to seemed genuine and enthusiastic.

Dono...but i have been speaking to Bob Rawal and many other places..everyone has been helpfull.. and i think the general feeling is 400bhp - 420bhp - people have yes run more. but from i can tell if the car is tracked everyweeked it will die.. lol

Where in the midlands are you? I'm only 15-20 mins away from thwaites.

I'm in a ****-hole called hinckley between Leicester and Coventry, if you passing pop around for brew ( in the m5 PLEASE as I am considering one lol)

Bob Rawle is another that is very good ..been around for years with plenty customer feedback (he done a few mapping on my P1 )....if you do tune the car get it done properly and do it once as it will cost you if you don't !

You'll find horror storys of most for most places plus people get very partisan and over egg issues.

I've used scoobyclinic for donkeys years, had engine builds, servicing, body work etc etc and always found them sound.

Another vote for scoobyclinic, always gone above and beyond for me, yes they are not the cheapest but have overheads like all other respectable business will have..

I disagree, I track my car every other weekend out at the ring as that’s where it lives. It’s an e46 m3 and it’s spot on.
Ladt year I did over 2200 miles on the Nurburgring in my Megane, that was well maintained and never missed a beat.
Proper maintenance using quality parts will see you many many happy weekends at track days

Tidgy

appart from the subframe cracking and the **** dropping out of the car,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

joe v3sti

iTrader: (8)

Like I said proper maintenance. Rear subframe mounting panel has been repaired on mine and the cooling system fully re freshed.

Tidgy

i wouldnt call having to weld up a sub fame as maintenance, bit like headgasket on a 2.5.

Don't get me wrong, loved mine, but they do have their issues.

joe v3sti

iTrader: (8)

I never referred to the subframe as maintenance, mine was actually fully replaced by bmw under warranty at 9 years old. Then resin filled by them, it’s still I cracked now. The subframe was a repair not maintenance.
Regular track work on a well looked after car isn’t a problem

Tidgy

ah, when you said 'Like I said proper maintenance' though thats what you ment.

Although not sure why you'd still have cracks, bmw replaced the whole floor when they did it :S

Sorry typo, I meant to put. Still not cracked now

Tidgy

ah k, my old one was done by redish before i got it
