Looking into getting some cylinder head work done in Glasgow/Edinburgh area? failing that Scotland?
Had bad experience last year by tuning place who totally screwed up carb and made car undrivable.
Anyone know of any good quality places?

Iain

196bhp from a 1700cc Clubmans 'A' xflow. I believe it was a world record.

They also did the work on Roddy Paterson's hillclimb X1/9 as well IIRC.
