    Is then an 'MRC' of the North

    Hopefully this doesn't upset the MRC boys - but I'm finding it almost impossible to find the time to get from Glasgow down to Banbury.

    Is there anyone who can do remapping to anywhere near the same level of MRC expertise in Scotland or North of England???

    If not then I guess I will just need to try and arrange some time off work - but it would be great if there was anyone closer.

    I think Star performance in Kirckaldy has won Audi Driver awards for their remapping...?

    www.starperformance.com I think.

      Much obliged

      Ta - I'll give them a try - altho I'm pretty sure I've been in touch with these guys a year or three back and they couldn't do the same level of work.....prehaps things have changed.

        Jim Curly of Star Performance wasn't interested in the slightest in my S2 when I last spoke to him. If it were a Supra or a chav Impreza then I think he'd be interested in your hard earned...

          Doug (MRC) is Scottish (or should that be Scotts? ) Maybe he's visiting his folks over Christmas??

            Speak to Aelred or Corey at Quattronics ( )> I think they both use a guy around the Middlesborough area. THere is also Wayne at Chip Wizards, somewhere near Erlesmere Port area. Not sure on his reputation with S2's though.
            Finally, you may want to talk to DOug. You never know, he may just travel homewards to Scotland for Xmas and New Year and fit you in somehow?

                Doug's folks stay just round the corner from me too. Doubt he'll have time, but you never know..

                  Worth a try

                  Yeah - thought about trying to encourage Doug to drop by or let em drop by but the guys seem to be so busy and tricky to get in touch with sometimes that I suspect the last thing on Dougs mind over xmas is revisiting my mapping!!!

                  Never know tho

                    I'm sure they'd travel north for an organised bit of mapping if there was the demand from a few people in the same area, I know Mihnea's done this before a few years back, try asking Doug or Mihnea if it's still an option.

                    If viable you could take the car down and get a cheap flight up and back down, always
                    a good trip back north after a remap, or you could arrange for somebody to take the car down and up asumming it's not a daily driver.

                    Always found Jim at Star to be quite interested in Audi tuning , I know he does alot of generic stuf for TT's and S3/Leon/Golf (same engine different shape stuff), I spent a fair bit talking to him and mine was just in for the touchless 4W Alignment, don't know about his "custom" remap capability , but he does have the RR for verification.

                      Aye - generic VAG 1.8T's perhaps - worth his while mastering them as they're so common. IL5 T's a different matter though. Or perhaps it was just my gruff personality he didn't take to

                            Automark are up north are closer to home.

                            Wayne is suppose to be good although I had to get MRC to correct an error in his map on my car.

                              He he.. He had no problem accepting 3.5k for a 2L 16V conversion on my old MKII Golf 16V. Admittedly it was the previous owner that shelled out for this though..
