Default Mapping in Scotland

Just purchased a simtek ecu ( thanx mattybr5@poleposition ) .

Need to get it mapped to my car and other than Andy forrest and Greersport Racing Im a bit baffled. Im located in Ayrshire so the obvious would be GSR but av heard a few horror stories and not sure of their mapping abilities. I know nothing about AF .

+1 for Duncan aswel! Travelled from Aberdeen to Perth the first time then down to Edinburgh to meet him the second time.

The drive home is well worth it.

Cant understand why you'd mention Andy and then ask what others there are He's mapped hundreds of these cars and you'll never hear a bad word said about him.
