Are these guys much of a muchness, i always hear good things about pip at wgt, but then reworx seems to get just as good a praise..
i need my car mapped, so is it for example worth doing another 100 miles each way to see pip ?
Reworx
Distance: 77.3 miles
Time:1 hr 42 min
WGT:
Distance: 174.6 miles
Time: 3 hr 10 min
thanks guys, i dont mind doing the 6hr 20 drive, but if wgt reworx are just as good it seems silly to spend the whole day driving :)
both are as good as each other, highly recommended. If i were you i would choose reworx everytime, simply down to the travelling time:Thumbs-up
id rather take my car to wgt and im five mins up the road from you anthony.
one2watch, send me a picture of your car mate, my cars on //www.b4mrx.com.. let me know if you go to any of the meets we should go together, i know theres a few more of us around our area as well.. like bobfish :)
theres a guy with a nice looking black rx thats parallel to my road too.
Having used WGT in the early years and RE:Worx more recently I\'d choose WGT of the two.
From London (I\'m SE London so wherever you are can\'t be worse!) I\'d also suggest chacking our Carl Hayward.
i go to wgt, i am in st.albans, but for something simple like a remap it prob aint worth the trip. i dunno, as pip built my engine i would have to go back to him now. saying that if you leave early it aint that long a trip up to WGT
I travel just over 210 miles and go to WGT. Infact I\'m there this weekend coming!
my self and acerx7 used wgt good 200 mile trip well worth the distance :Thumbsup!
carl hayward at reading
another vote for carl -always found him very helpful and on top of that probably the closest of all of them to you. Why travel (at 15mpg!!) when you don\'t have to?
Si.
I use Reworx, Max is a guru when it comes to mapping FDs and it nice to get a dyno chart before and after mods, but then again I have been mapping my own car over the last few months, going to get it Dynoed to see the result of my latest efforts
Quote from: TwistedHumourI travel just over 210 miles and go to WGT. Infact I\'m there this weekend coming!
you there early morning? as pip said he had someone coming early on and i was going to go on after him (late morning)
what is the postcode? the one on the site keeps saying invalid :)
Daft question here but I was planning on booking my in at WGT at some point summe rtime, would i be better to phone earlier and get booked in, whats the waiting time like on get your car looked at? Sorry I just thought I would randomly hijack this thread and ask :) just after it getting it checked over at the moment but by summer I might have one or two things I want done. hehe
Pip has been playing with rotaries for a very long time and has an excelent rep [much deserved] I would suggest he maps on the side of caution [a good thing]
The guys at Reworx [Max or Geff] are the guys that consistantly produce the power cars [have a look at the dyno list] and from personel experience I would not hesitate recommending them, you are involved with the whole process and kept informed with what is going on.
But as stated above you pay your money and you takes your pick. I would however say from a personel perspective mapping is a far safer experience on the dyno than on the road.

pip managed to fit me in not the saturday that was coming (4 days) after i asked but the saturday after.. i might have been lucky though.
so that was less than 2 weeks
I drive a 1250 mile round trip to Pip from Germany, if i need anything done. John is a lot closer now, but he did the same when he was in Germany.

Yup! I\'ll be leaving Swansea about 5 am :2Confused. Last time I checked, Gatesey was also coming up about that time.
Not sure about the post code sorry. IIRC, its off junction 18 on the M6, down the A54 and take a left at the roundabout with a pub on (cant remember the name sorry). Then drive a few hundred yards down to the Police building (its not a station - something else) and you\'ll find it at the end of that road.

thanks for the directions..
well pip mailed me yesterday, so sounds like its still on, as long as i leave by 3 i dont mind :) hope theres some food places around there :D
save drive up mate.
Might also be worth getting in contact with JayDee. He\'s been known to map the odd car with good results. He\'s also London area based.

I\'m sure ReWorx and Pip both have dynos.
I do agree it is potentially safer to map on a dyno, but road mapping gives you a "real world" map rather than a map which is optimisted in an artificial atmosphere. I would say a combination of the two i.e. initial and main mapping on a dyno with tweaking and fine-tuning on road is the best way to play it...
back to the topic,
Both WGT and REWorx have a good reputation so your choice.:Thumbsup!

Yep still going just need to check with my passenger what time I\'m picking him up. I\'ll drop you a PM Thursday/Friday AM to confirm what we\'re doing.

The place has everything - within a 200 yard radius there is a pub, burger king and a shell garage. Everything I need to survive! :Thumbsup!

Sounds good mate. I\'ll be +1 as well - probably best to meet at one of the services on the way. By that time I\'ll be starving, and a nice breakfast will go down a treat :Thumbs-up
Sounds good we\'ll sort something out closer to the weekend :D
I travelled from Derby to Portsmouth to have my car sorted by Geff.
Also Ross @ Dragon is very good and rebuilt my engine - I just wanted a rolling road remap and diagnosis of a boost problem and as Ross doesn\'t have a rolling road it went to Geff.

You are really lucky you have a nearer alternative mate.
Just done a search of the 3 from where I live and this is what it came out with:
Carl
Time: 3 hr 36 min
reworx
Time: 3 hr 48 min
WGT
Time: 4 hr 1 min
I am in the same boat with this:
http://www.neweraimports.com/soldcarDetails.jsp?carId=291 (http://www.neweraimports.com/soldcarDetails.jsp?carId=291)
Built by WGT but the fact is...I live in Brighton; i am an hour from Re:Worx and 4 hours from WGT.
I am a little torn but putting 500 miles on the car and spending what would probably be a 16-hour day doing it seems daft when i have Re:Worx on my doorstep.
WGT seem cool on the phone, and Pip seems helpful, but i have also spent some time with Geoff when i was looking for a Rex and test-drove two of the ones they had down there; he was incredibly helpful, spent around two hours with me and couldn\'t do enough.
I have no hesitation in going there. I\'m lucky that one of them is close; i do feel srry for you guys stuck in the middle of all the specialists!
