Revolution - bought wheels - no probs and good service

Scoobyclinic - thumbs up so far - friendly, knowledgable and good service - I will be singing their praises even more if they can get this horrible gunk off my roof following my Vortex Generator disaster

GRD - not used them but likely to test them out for my next service as they are just up the road from work - good comments received on here before from happy customers

GRD sound interesting, as do the others.

They seem to have a nice staged upgrade system.....

Scoobyclinic are the dogs dangles of tuners in my eyes.
They totally transformed my car from a stock Sport to what it is now (see view my scooby). They looked after me very well. They are a loverly bunch of mechanics.

I would not trust anyone else than them with my scoob.

Lets not turn this thread into a slagging match please

GRD come highly recommended and is who I've used for nearly 2 years now.

Very down to earth and knowledgable and as you've already noted the upgrades available are pretty comprehensive.

The results I've have from the work they've done have always exceeded expectation.

They also seem to have an Aladins's Cave of quality 2nd Hand parts at really good prices which always tempting.

Good to know that there are a lot of professional modders worth using.

Their reputations seem to be relatively airtight!

Were any of the mods/upgrades very extensive?

Like massive BHP, handling packages?

Tuning wise up 340bhp on my 04' WRX with a VF35, 3" Decat, STI TMIC, STI 550cc Injectors and Uprated Fuel Pump.

One of their STI Demo car's ran a tad over 500bhp for Scooby Shootout but has been running around 480bhp faultless as a daily driver for a while now and covered at least 10k at a 400bhp spec before that.

Right now they're working on a 2.5 engine build for me for track use.

Handling wise I've not long had a set of AST's put on but was running Uprated Springs with Front/Rear Anti Roll Bars, Rear Drop Links, Anti Lift Kit and Steering Rack Bushes. Obviously the AST's make a huge difference and are immense but the supporting handling mods equally make a dramatic change to how the car handles and just going with Uprated Springs instead of Coilovers will make a marked difference.

I've used GRD for nearly 2 years now and their work has always been top notch. Their the only ones that work on my car now.

GRD for me.

Used for servicing and upgrades and general chat about what to do next, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Check out their "project" car if you want to see what they are capable of !!
