Just fitted stage 1 kit, and running REALLY rich, could anyway point me in the direction of a tuning firm around the area? My searches aren’t coming up with anything helpful, and a few garages I’ve spoken to just have cold leads to follow.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Peter Baldwin at Arrington on the road from Sandy to Cambridge is the absolute best.

Cooperman has got the name right - Peter Baldwin is an absolute wiz with an A series engine, however he is based at Wilshers Garage in Wimpole. 

 

Cambridge Road, Wimpole, Royston, Cambridgeshire SG8 5QE

 

01223 207226

 

Peter has a direct line 01223 207217 for tuning.

 

Cost (a couple of years ago) was £90 / hour but he is fantastic

Unfortunately not. They sold out to Lawrencetune many years ago and subsequently closed. They were really excellent.

It was run by two good friends of mine, Dave Rolt & Brian Page.

I once had a rally 1330 cc Cooper 'S' on their rollers and it was putting our 4 bhp more than an Oselli-modified Sprite race car which had cost a fortune. The guy who owned it asked me to build his engine. I declined as it was just my hobby.

Yeah i phoned him earlier, he charges around £70 and hour at the moment i believe. Unfortunatly he's fully booked for a few weeks so ill just have to tune it so it's not so rich to drive around.

 Thats a shame. I used them quite a bit when I lived in Milton Keynes. It was always interesting to see what machinery they had in.
