Theres the garage in wishaw I think sure one of the glasgow lot could tell you if they could do it. Theres more than 3 in scotland I know of at least 3 in the north of scotland alone & thats not including the one in aberdeen on the list. But the ones i know of are more used to carbs & cossies

Marc @ The Garage might be able to do it for you, but I\'m not convinced he would be willing to - he runs a PFC in his Skyline but has never done an FD before.  They do not have a rolling road.  I\'ll try to remember to speak to him when we\'re setting up my car on Saturday and will let you know.

There is no where in Scotland that will definitely be able to do it for you, and there is no way you would want to do it yourself - one small mistake and you will need a new engine.

There are loads of rolling roads around, but none of them with experience of mapping rotaries beyond having my car run on them with me doing the mapping.

BTW, hiring rolling roads is very expensive - Dastek are about 60+Vat per hour, and if you are having a professional doing the mapping for you it is well into 3 figures an hour.  Best bet is to take it to one of the specialists (Pip, Geff, etc) down south who will have a map for a similar spec car that they can put on the car and tweek for you.

The Garage don\'t just do Jap cars, just happens that the mechanics own Jap stuff - the emergency car is a Mondeo.

Theres a guy called Ricky Gould in Huntly that seems to have a good rep from the rally stuff he did in the past.  Only used him once but not for a rotary.

I\'ve used ricky in the past for my imp cos he knows them inside out. A lost of cossies went there when everyone was tuning them, very good at what he does
