Sma01,
I just wanted to let you know that your not alone mate. I also feel that this forum is so biased to whom they recommend and appears as soon as a member defects from the legion of andy f they get shot down. I am not saying that Andy F doesn’t know what he is doing by any means but there are others that are totally capable of tuning a car and in my case it was proven like yours. I hear in the tuning world that Steve Simpson is defiantly capable of tuning a Scooby and knows what he is doing (Does a lot of actual rally cars). Infact Steve Simpson like my tuner goes around the world tuning so cant be that bad. It is a shame the forums have evolved in this manner as I would have expected forum members to share info in an unbiased manner instead of feeling intimidated by certain members as soon as they have defected from the norm. Forums should be for the members and only for the members it is a place to share info and experiences and to help each other out instead of just promoting one or two people, new and fresh ideas are always a good thing why is this forum so set in old ways lets face it there are many people far superior to the "Gods" currently dictating this forum. So just my two pence here but just wanted you to know your not the only one. Can I ask if your car was mapped on the road or on a dyno. Does Steve Simpson have his own dyno or use a particular brand of dyno. It would be interesting to see what Steve’s comments would be if he was to hear Andy F’s comments. Good luck and hope to cross paths one day.
Would it not be abit hard to promote other people as the majority of owners on here have their cars "breathed" on by the one or two people always talked about.
Pete (fai17) has his car mapped by someone else other than Andyf as he is running Gems and he has publicly applauded the fact that a good job was done.
Am sure if more people were willing to get Motec, Gems etc and have it mapped by the specialists in those systems then there would be more "promoting" of other corners.
So come on guys, dig deep, get the systems and tell us how you get on.
