did you have impressive resaults?

Nothing super impressive. Improvement though nevertheless. Standard RB26DETT except pods and exhaust, with powerfc now getting just under 220 kw at all 4 wheels.

Main reason for getting it done was to sort out the engine cutting out under boost which it was doing after coming back from another workshop where it had the factory ECU tuned........ :rolleyes:

But yeah, good experience with it, the only drama was waiting a bit longer than expected for the pfc to arrive, but saying that due to their rareness etc. waiting 5 days in the end wasn't so bad. :(

I have to say that all the above mentioned workshops are all pretty good, however in saying that you will always find one bad experience for every good one. Every workshop gets equal amounts of praise and bagging. I have to say tho, all these guys mentioned are all pretty good in my eyes.
I have heard of a few really bad experiences with Allstar and as a result i wouldnt let them tune my moped (not that i have one)

My point exactlly... (Not flaming you in any way 'Series 5' just saying thats my point)

My 2 cents, Allstar give great value and quality for price... I have used Richard to tun my pfc and for the money I could not be happier, that said Matt Spry has also had a crack at my pfc and he is equally impressive... Horses for courses... Richard is 5km down the road for me as where Matt is over 150km's...

Once again, like I said for every good experience you hear you will find a bad one... Its important to realise to make your own mind up about people and their attitudes and or services offered... Go and see a workshop with yoru own eyes and talk to the owner or managers and see for yourself how helpful they are and have a good look around the shop at the type of cars they are working on and that should give you a good idea of what they can do...

IE. You would not take you Moped to a performance dealer, you would go to a performance shop like the ones mentioned in this thread.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
