A friend had his S14 200sx tuned there..always spoke well of them, and that was running serious boost! always ran very well..

I've spoken to a guy called nana who is a real character and worth the phone call alone..seems very customer focussed, always calls back in a timely fashion etc, very polite. I hear he is a bit of a driftmeister also..

Sorry can't help out more.

From what I hear they have a good reputation for building Drift monsters, and are quite involved in the scene, but I have no first hand experience of their abilities.

Well I went into option today , bit of a shock on the prices side tho, thought i'd ask as a matter of interest  s;-) ;-) s;-)

"fit the PE kit, no probs mate."  "How long?...Mmmm I'd say 2/3 days but hopefully 2"  "Cost...well that will be £800+vat if its two, but £1200 if it drags on into the third day"   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

Obviously they wont be getting my £8-1200 squid!

After discussions with 'mr-s turbo' I think i'll be doing most of th electrical side myself with mechanicals out sourced.  At least that way I know whats been soldered to what etc.

Now where did they put that ECU   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:D :D s:D

I'm pretty good with nuts and bolts if you want a hand, as i'm sure most other members are too!  Wouldn't mind seeing the PE kit as i'm interested myself!

Perry fitting is actually relativly easy it is all about facillities and tools in my opinion. You can't beat a hydrolich ramp when you need to get under a car..... If only I had a mate with one never mind..... Darren

After a few PM messages with you mate,and never helping too much,i'd like to offer my mechanical knowledge to help you fit the kit if you fancy a weekend in sunny Skegness   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  .

No cost just a chance to help someone if you want. Could be a cheap alternative to all the uncertainty your facing

As with everone, were here, and willing to help.
