    MRC not mentioned as much these days

    I have been a fourm member since the the 90s and MRC where always mentioned in abundance since they where formed.So why is it that no one mentions them now. I have had my car mapped there twice, and it is in need of a tweak or two, now the engine has been rebuilt with different cams,lowered CR and otherthings.
    Now the issues are fixed, and the car is running right at last,it was allways my intention to take back to MRC,But the thing that bothers me is the apparent silence.One minute its MRC this and MRC that,now nothing.Have they lost interest in the s2 or has the forum lost interest in them for some reason
    Don't get me wrong,I have every confidance in MRC,especially in Minhea ability,but I feal I may have missed something On this fourm,which makes me wonder,should I take it back there.Or take it someware else.
    The bottom line is,what would you do.

    You will find them on Audisrs.

    This thread has some info on the subject.



    Times move on. I would give them a call and see though.

      I'm running MRC software (generic RS2 plus, 360 crank/289 whp) that I got back in 2005 after discussions (by email) with Mihnea and have been quite happy with it. Subsequently, I have watched MRC grow (and Mihnea moving at the time from Belgium to the UK). I think the have just moved with the Audi market, tuning the newer cars as the come out, keeping their business growing. I am sure that they would still tune an ABY or AAN or ADU.

      Here is their current website: http://www.mrctuning.com/

        As above, I'm sure if you give them a call, they'll still map your car.

        Doug hasn't been on here much since setting up MRC some years ago and judging by the constant stream of amazing stuff that exits their doors, MRC have certainly been busy pimping the newer models of Audi I'd take an educated guess that the market for the newer cars is just so much larger that the older stuff gets left to more and more specialised places or enthusists who can fix all the gremlins that older cars have, before getting them finished off - lets face it, other than mapping an I5, most projects on here have a large proportion of DIY, rather than dropping the stock car off at a garage and picking it up with 500bhp, like many newer Audi owners (with the money to do so) would prefer... ATEOTD, MRC is a business like any other and so they have to concentrate their efforts where the money is and I can't imagine that much of their business comes from the classic I5 market for exactly the reason stated above, however, I'm sure that they have not lost any of the skills or knowledge buit up over the years

          They concentrate on the B7 and have been developing the B8 S4 most recently.
          Lots of B5 S/RS4 customers still go there though. Doug posts a fair bit on AudiSRS (you S2 boys would all be welcome on there too, lots of love for them over there)

            Thanks for the replies.As I said earlier I have great faith in them,and it has always been my intention to take the car back for what I hope will be its final remap.
            It is just that when you dont hear about certain establishments on hear like you used to,then it makes you wonder if you have missed something,and as hoped I have not.
