Hi m8 and welcome

I use Promax motorsport in Llanelli.

They're well known for Evo and Subaru rally car prep. / tuning etc. but also do road cars / general servicing / modifications etc.

PM me if you want to have a chat about them m8.

No m8.....there's a few rolling roads in South Wales area but none that many members on here would take their cars too

Best bet for a rolling road run is Powerstation in Tewkesbury.....highly recommended by many members of the South Wales group.

Don't get too obsessed with rolling road figures and print outs though m8.....it's how the car feels on the road that counts.

ive had a 4 wheel alignment and camber ect done in promax and they are very good.
if i remember they said they do all the tuning ect there and then send the cars to cardiff somewhere to get them RRoaded.
I worked in the factory next to it about a month before the wales rally gb, and there aint half some cars going in and out of there, V nice!

I have been told that David coe in gorseinon is very good, had a chat with him about mods, and what he has experienced and done himself, is very tidy and seems to know what he is on about.

my two cents

Nice to see so many who are using Promax and having good service.....I don't put just anyone's name on my car you know

I'll point Phil & Dilwyn in the direction of this thread.

thats grant, he has had lots of big power cars there ranging from cossies, rx 7, scoobs, evo, skyline's etc and he wont take your car to the edge and just rev the ***** off it !

we were having a RR day and my mate didnt want his new evo rev'd right up so he told grant only XXXXrpm and thats what he did.

i myself have all my mapping done at brdevelopments junction 15 on the m4 swindon.

I can vouch for Promax as well - VERY professional and nice guys.

Dave (Dave Coe) has just completed a head gasket and other work for me and I was very pleased. I would totally agree that he is also very professional and in deed - very knowing when it comes to the boxer - between Promax and Dave Coe I would not consider anyone else to look after my legacy now.

My advice would be Dave Coe for serious engine work and Promax for everything else - the problem with both of these places is they are SO BLOODY busy - book early - both would not mind you going to see them first to discuss your requirements. Dave is in the process of building a new performance car only section to his already high spec garage - I am not sure but he "might" be looking into a RR.

Good luck dude.
