Anyone know a place that would tune/map PowerFC\'s in the Midland area?

think the nearest & also from all i\'ve seen/read one of if not the best UK tuner of forementionned devices is Pip @ WGT who is but a short burst up the ole M6 http://www.wgtautodevelopments.co.uk/ (http://www.wgtautodevelopments.co.uk/)

You on comission Si? ;)
Pip\'s definately one of the best in the uk but there are others with equally good reputations, Carl Hayward comes to mind (MRC username \'carl\'). Pip may well be closest to the midlands depending where about you are (north/south).
Pip did my rebuild and no complaints about the craftsmanship.

That\'s next for me - plus de-cat, downpipe, injectors, fuel-pump, mappin\' and (possibly) v-mount IC. Might just go the \'cheaper\' route and get an uprated SMIC tho.
Then I\'ll need to uprate the clutch... and... and...
That\'s before sorting the cosmetics out!
Anyone got a spare 10 grand they\'re not using?
Bah, this power thing is addictive. When I got the FD it scared me witless everytime i drove it. It still does but I\'m used to it and the adrenaline rush is getting smaller.
Addicted to rotary power I guess.

Iain you should get a FMIC, but keep the standard rad. much cheaper than a vmount and more power than a SMIC. Thats what I\'ll be doing in future.
Thanks Si... Pips place is around 65miles away.:( oh well if thats the only way then so be it, haven\'t took it for a mway run for a while anyway:cool

lol dont moan my trip is slightly further but it\'d be rude not to need a optimax top up on the way back 
lol. It is most definately worth the trip thou after my experiance with a certain local "expert" Pip is my new best friend, although my credit card loathes him! pmsl

PS V mount does look/sound the best thou think it\'s the way i\'d go if i could just love the image of it in my mind of a big whale munching on all that lovely air
lol

On the plus side for v-mount - better cooling to the rad, better intercooling than SMIC and pretty rare so mucho pose factor :D
Price isn\'t all that horrendous either... Well, 1600ish if you can smuggle the whole kit past customs.
