Have ordered parts from them. OK but don't carry any stock os it'll all be shipped from their suppliers. Weren't exactly quick but not slow either, shipped the whole lot to the billing address which was a pain.

Well regarded in E30 owners groups though, am considering them for mapping mine.

Guys,

For what its worth I have spent about 17K with these guys over a 6-8 month period.
The list of modifications was comprehensive covering all areas of the car. I was very mindful of neglecting any one area i.e. if you are going to make it faster then you certainly need to make it stop better etc etc….

I have Schrick Cams, Power Pulleys, Full Exhaust & Decat, UUC Competition flywheel, Full Dyno setup-remap & Uni Chip, Bigger 6 Piston Brakes & Rear discs, Braided lines, Anti Roll Bars, Drop Links, H&R Coilovers,Strut Brace, BBS LM’s, 3.64 LSD….the list goes on!!!

What mattered for me was finding someone trust worthy to carry out a fairly sizeable and expensive conversion. The quality of the work has been exceptional and importantly the guidance/ recommendation of product choice was very good indeed. On more than one occasion I was guided away from perhaps a more expensive choice in preference for a more suitable one.

All this culminated in the January BMW CAR Magazine “Evolution M Roadster” full review, see pages 38-45 of that publication.

I have had experience with other suppliers but none gave the same allround guidance/knowledge and ability to install, setup and finish to the same standard.
It is because of this that I am considering even more work to really finish the car off in the form of either Super Charge or Full Carbon Airbox conversion with upgraded injectors…….

In short they come highly recommended!!!!

If you want any advice on my experiences with particular mods I’d be happy to advise……Certainly a remap with good quality airfilter alone does sharpen up the responsiveness and make the car feel more involving even if the power gains are modest.Add a light flywheel and the 3.2M lump feels transformed!

Any good luck, you know it makes sense!?
Cheers
