Yes he knows his stuff, I'd use him in preference to some of the by names on here.

He is hopefully mapping mine this weekend Did he collect that diff for me Pete? I've not spoken to him yet.

What does he estimate your power at?

I'm looking for a remap also. Would you mind telling me where I can find Rich?
Is he a freelancer or works for a tuning company?

Richard used to work for Zen and left due to them closing down the mechanics side of the business. He is based in High Wycombe, UK.

He specialises in Scooby's for mechanical work and mapping, he is a very talented guy and knows these cars inside out.

Send him a PM he posts as Fiestaboy on Scoobynet and his company is called FBTuning. Also check out the Middlesex Owners Club (MSOC) subforum

Paulo p yes Rich picked the diff up, estamated power at about 330ish but i got a little more work to be done. going to have turbo uppipe and headers ported and fit a prodrive 3 port and have a map tweak and see what we get.
Really did have a good unrushed mapping session Rich never left mine till gone 11.30 and the car is totaly awesome at the mo loads more power comes in a lot sooner well chuffed with it

Cheers Pete - Your car goes really well. I'll let you know when I'm next at the dyno.
Be kind to the clutch and gearbox though

Yes, but watching you work, it was hard to tell if you were working, or if you'd already pegged it

Rich told me it went well, his estimates aren't far off and at that power they are good fun That's what I'm aiming for this weekend

That was an early finish for Rich when he did my sister's car he brought it back to mine at 2:30am!
