Rick will do the likes of litchfield tuning however for the older stuff no. I used him for the fitting of parts then sent the car to Bradley Motorsport where a link ECU was fitted & mapped. Fantastic work from them also. I have heard he is extremely busy at the minute so best to get booked in.

 

[Burt2000]

Yeah it’s a Link that I have for it so I’ll maybe give bradley motorsport a shout. Thanks

 

[McFall1984]

If it’s Evo related Lee Lipton is your man
Everyone from all of Ireland going to him an maps cars also along with Bradley

Pretty sure he just gives Bradley the cars to map & he does the rest of the work?

 

[acsmyth]

Yeah, Lee just hands the cars to Richard for mapping on the dyno.

No, Lee does the work. Drives the car while Bradley live maps it

As above. Don’t think Bradley has a awd dyno. Any cars Lee works on, he drives the Evo’s and Bradley live maps them

[Burt2000]

Anybody know of any Subaru specialists about? The closer to Belfast the better

 

[Eager]

OMA in mallusk.
Sean Doyle too, ex pro drive mechanic. All be it not Belfast, ballyronan direction.
ali burrows all be it dungannon.

[Burt2000]

Been tryin Michael at OMA since start of March, I’ve all but given up now.

Ali burrows is a Subaru genius

 

[Burt2000]

He’s probably a big backlog on too but I’ll maybe give him a ring as even if he could give me a slot in a month or 2 I don’t mind waiting, I’ve waited this long lol.

 

[bludgod]

specialists for ECU mapping or mechanical work?

 

[Burt2000]

I need both @bludgod, are you back at the mapping again as I know it was on hold during the pandemic.

 

[bludgod]

yes back at it again since the allowed the close contact services the other friday there!

 

[Dynam0humm]

@bludgod Can you do Ecutek mapping for any car or only Subaru?

I've a Mk3 MX5 and the Ecutek is expensive but worth it on these, but looking at their site I'd either have to travel across the water or pay £300 extra for the dongle to have it remotely mapped. I asked Jonny about it as he put an Ecutek map on my Evo many years ago but he wasn't interested and mentioned something about licencing costs...

 

[bludgod]

@Dynam0humm - grab me on facebook sure - facebook.com/bludgod

 

[EF Ian]

What about Ricks Garage?

Not heard about him?

no longer offering garage services

Great, even less options.

What about Richard Bradley or Paul Wray?

What is Bradley like with Hondas?

Sean Doyle too, ex pro drive mechanic.

Sean is good

specialists for ECU mapping or mechanical work?

EF is having some engine problems, need someone good to see what is up.


Once I get the Datsun back I'll need someone to help find my over boosting problem when its on high boost mode. I'll also be looking for an alignment expert to do a full setup on her.

 

[McFall1984]

If it’s a turbo Nissan Bradley is the only man I’d be going to
But by chatting to him he’s flat out an will be now drifting is opening again so he’ll have all those cars in for tune ups an check over

 

[EF Ian]

The Honda is the concern now, If I had any issues with the RB I'd probably try and get it to Bradley.



Does anyone here know anything about Type Two?

 

[ChrisL]

Know a few people who have used type two and never said anything bad.

I think Rick's garage is a great all rounder. Very good with BMWs and pretty sure he took apart the rms v10 plus r8s back in the days to fit exhaust systems etc. Seems to be every bit quality workmanship.

 

[svensktoppen]

Most decent mechanics can work on most cars.

Mapping can get a bit more specialised just because of familiarity (or not) with software for different ECUs, or access to factory ECUs, etc.

To fix a problem on a daily (take it that's the Honda, or maybe I missed some purchase of yours ) have a word with a local garage.

 

[EF Ian]

Most mechanics don't do many engine builds?


I wouldn't let just any mechanic near a custom built high compression engine that isn't even available in this form from the factory. Also there is the fact it is smoothed off detailed engine bay and needs extra care taken when working around it.

Honda has not been a daily for a few a few years now, its a dry weather only car. I have a boring mazda 3 for that
