We get asked this question quite a lot. You've just bought a performance car and you want to make it better, the question is, what should you do first?  We will investigate the question using our demo (James') MX-5 and assume the car is being used as a fast road/track car but not a full-blown race car. In our opinion handling and suspension upgrades should always be the first thing to look at. If you can make a car handle better, stop faster and get on the power sooner then it'll be much more engaging to drive. Power and torque...

It's been a busy few months here in Bridgwater!   We've had some amazing cars in and out of the workshop and dyno. Here are some of our highlights.  We had a mini dyno day back at the start of February, you can read more on that blog here. Here is the full video of Rusty Slider on the dyno: What a fun car that was to map! James is still smitten with the Audi S5 he did the power run on that day.  We also had 2 other special cars in for mapping. Both running Link Plug-In ECU's, we had this amazing Long...

We had a busy day at the workshop on Saturday with a number of different cars and kits to be playing with. A few highlights of the day include:  VW T4 Van Remap This van came in from one of our friends for a quick remap to blow the cobwebs out and get the best out of the engine. Not the usual day-to-day, but certainly something we're more than happy to do for you; if you've got a van that could do with a remap, get in touch to book in for a session.  We see gains of up to 40bhp on...

We will now be stocking a range of Wossner/PEC forged engine kits on our website, the kits include a range of Wossner Forged pistons and PEC steel Conrods. These are ideal if you're looking for an engine build that won't break the bank but still give you decent components. We would recommend these kits for lower/mid power turbo builds or as upgrades for standard components after a failure.  Why should you use forged pistons and uprated rods? It's simple really, they are stronger and they'll take more power. Ok, I lied a bit it's not that simple at all, but...
