You should PM him for price as its bad practise to put up prices on a forum.

So have MRC got there rolling road set up yet?

I'm personally going to have mine done every 12 month.

It wasn't an exact figure I was looking for - it was only a ball park costing. Can't see what harm it would do , defo not bad practice . If anything, would probably generate some customers. (IMHO)

Another culprit for the economic downfall...

Just another couple of thou, for some extra tweaks. Cheaper than a loan after all... ?!

ok guys had a few day's to reflect so here goes my breif overview.

First noticeably change (like i said before) is the 's' button, it now really works, there is a massive jump in power once pressed! it's like a mini turbo!

In normal mode my car feel's real smooth, more driveable around the house's and no more of that tight / restrictive feeling, no jerking, and rev's through the RPM much more freely.

In 's' mode it's an whole different story, the car's ready or action! First thing that you notice is the gain in torque,
you can now 'really' be in the wrong gear and the car's effortlessly pull's through it. Secondly, that holding back/restrictive thing between 3&6000
RPM is now a thing of the past, it now accelerates hard through the numbers with much more 'push back in the seat' feeling' which
is always good. Also the milltek downs with 100cell cats complements all the changes perfectly and sounds like a mini 'NASCAR' with a deep
crackle on the gear change and the back shift without any major cockpit noise.

I must say, in the past I've tuned everything from my 'grandads electric granny magnet' to hayabusa turbo's, the tuning work from the MRC guys is right up there with anything i've had done. I would highly recommend this mod to anyone contemplating it, for me it's transformed an already great car into a amazing car and the only problem i have now is putting the key's down! :D

hope my brief insight, shed's some light for those who may be itching, i'll no doubt add some more thoughts in a few weeks, but for now i'm off for a drive.
cheers

well.............bit of a dilemma.

Phoned well lane centre up for my re-run, and the lady on the desk said "they have closed the dyno down!" :shock: My first run was in November and there were no sign's of any problem's or nobody mentioned anything. I even spoke to one of the guys between Christmas & new year and said call back early Jan...so god know's what's going on, bit of a shock really, that dyno has been there forever!

Anyway i'm trying to get a run this week at AET Normanton , i know it's not ideal swapping between different dyno's but unfortunately it's out of my hands.

I will post dyno results soon has i'm sorted, hopefully this week.
