Tuning Guru Required

Can anyone suggest somewhere close-ish to Newbury where i can get me auto TT tuned, fitted 1mm boost jets at the weekend and the car is running sweet but at about 2k RPM there is a noise not sure if it is pinking as its so quiet then completely go's once you give a little more throttle

sorry cant help with the tuning but my konis have arrived r u still interested in the old ones let me know

thanks for the offer but got some from Zedworld £27ish each brand new , at last something that has not hammered the overdraft :p

bargin id say where did u get ur boost jets from ive made my own

Try Owen Developments in Kingston Bagpuize near Abingdon.

They handle a fair number of Z's as well as as many far more exotic beasts and have two rolling roads. Downside is price at £55 per hour. He's never killed an engine though.

Cheers Posidrive

 

Avalaugh I got the Jets from http://www.welduk.com only a couple of quid and arrived in a couple of days saying that i had to buy six so if you want a couple of 0.8 or 1mm let me know and i will send you two free of charge, will be fitting a boost gauge tom so will then fit 0.8 if still well under 14psi, probably find i need 0.9 and have to go for motorbike carb jets or something which you can get in any size 0.91 0.92 etc etc

Posidrive just a bit of useless info but I was born and bread in Lane End just down the road from you

bagins looks like you escaped just in time with Stokenchurch rapidly becoming the murder centre of Bucks. Can't move though, the Chinese takeaway in Lane End is great.

Posidrive, golden palace if i am not wrong , I know what you mean about Stoken , bad news ,how long have you been there

 

Oh and just called Owen Developments and got some stroppy bint who said that the engineer/mechanic was far to busy to speak to me and could he call me back later in the week , good customer service ,,,,,,,not :(

I've lived there for about 5 years and live on the East side as you leave the village towards Marlow/High Wycombe. Fortunately all the murders are at the other end :)

 

Unusual for them to be stroppy although they've had a highish turnover with receptionists recently. You need to speak to Mark who is normally very, very helpful. If you can wait until tomorrow I can probably dig out his direct line (you can tell how much I spend there) although it sometimes goes unanswered for a while when he's on the rolling roads.

Thanks that would be appreciated

 

the only good thing about stokenchurch is the road out (stokenchurch straight) 1.5 miles of pure straight racing road ideal for the Zed under 60mph of course , we used to race bikes there as kids (daft young adults)

The road is not so good any more. The police are often out there with their collection tins since a couple of fatalities due to morons overtaking in the dips.

bagins would be great if u could send me some 1mm ones ill email u my address cheers mate ur a star

why do morons always wreck things for everybody else , have to use the west wycombe road instead , but watch out for cows nearly came a croper 10 yrs ago on a bike with 2 or 3 stood in the bloody road

avalaugh no worries e-mail to ryan@feabhas.com and i will post them out tom

Hi guys,

 

When calling Owen Developments for Tuning enquiries, try 01865 820580. It still comes through reception, but just ask for me (Dino). I'll repremand the receptionist for you! :-)

 

I've recently started work here so that calls can get dealt with and Mark can still do his magic. ;-)

 

Regards,

Dino

That's the number I had for Mark as well. I suppose that he's just too busy to answer the phone any more. Can't recommend him highly enough though.

He has been for some time! Since I started, I've been FULLY busy with phone enquiries, so I can now see how it was getting difficult to do ANY of the work. :-)

Me too, mate. I was a customer first before working here, and together we managed to squeeze more power than anyone I know of out of my MR2 turbo on stock turbo and internals. Obviously, now I'm biased but even before that, I couldn't sing Mark's praise highly enough (after all, that's why I jumped at the chance to work here!).

 

And that's only one side of the business! We are also turbo speciliasts, too.

 

Regards,

Dino
