And your just the other side of the m1

One of my mates used them and it didn't go well!

Have a search and see what you can find, it's well worth spending the time doing your homework because there are plenty of good and bad engine builders and the stories that go with them.

Heard good and bad. I used them to buy parts but had no work done by them on my car. I would say if you look at any tuning establishment you will get good and bad, when it goes wrong the thing that is important is the attitude towards fixing it. I agree though I know more people that have left the clinic smiling than sulking.

I'm doing my home work before spending the cash, I work in a workshop and understand whats involved with customers hence why i want somebody local that has a good rep.

I've heard lots on the clinic but just wondered on Area 52, i think i've made my mind up now since a PM has been sent to me.

Personally I've not heard a bad word about scoobyclinic or Roger Clark motorsport but you get mixed views on pretty much every tuner.

As said it's how a company will back you up when or if things go wrong! I spent ££££'s on a company building me a forged engine and I also had the mapping at the same place to keep it all under 1 roof and also if things did go wrong the builder couldt blame the mapper or vise versa, it failed 2000 miles later they didt want to no
So just be very very carful who you choose.

Well ive been using them for a fair few years now and to be honest wouldnt let anybody but Jase at area 52 map my car and ive had a fair few tuned subarus by various companies!
My cars there at the moment having a big build.

Scooby Clinic are good if you want everything in one place. If you want a great engine builder contact Paul Finch, he is probably the best in the country. Above all don't use anyone who does not have a good rep on here.

Tidgy

can of worms has just been opened, lol

depends who you ask haha.

p.s. that wasn't a negative against PF (don't know him) its just everyone has there own preferd builder or mapper lol

dc911

Yeah i remember type r brad! Did you see the outcome???

Very true, we all have our favourites, but I don't think many people on here would recommend Area 52.

Good choice Carnetics are highly reputable & good people to deal with.

dc911

Did he really??? Let's not open this can of worms but think u should really find out the facts before posting what you think you are "aware" of!!!
Have heard only good things about carnetix too, didn't realise they were old Tsl members Phil! My p1 was originally built up by Tsl

Tidgy

I havn't seen him for a number of years so only what I was told at the time. It should be a mater of public record somewhere.

dc911

Lets not get drawn into a whole he told me she told me debate, but i have physically seen the court papers. Will take my chances based on facts not hearsay!

specialx

I'm very sorry you felt like this, we are very busy at the moment with race season in full swing, If we gave you the wrong impression I must apologize but I will say we are busy for all the right reasons



I hope to think we don't either Phil.

Clinic are simply the best tuners in England.

+1 on that leeroy, they've looked after me and Im extremly happy with my car and yes they are busy, but thats for a reason, they're feckin good at what they do!

Having had bad experiences at other places and feeling like all that mattered was my cash, I can't speak highly enough of Scooby Clinic-both Ads and Kev have looked after me and my mistakes so well-yes always busy up there but that's because so many people trust them. I've also heard very good reports via mid scoob members bout carnetix so I think your in good hands. Are you having anything else added into the mix for the build?

Area52 are about as much good at building engines as the titanic was at avoiding icebergs
