Not sure, i've read of it once being called Sandy Brown Automotive. But i think it's mostly word of mouth advertising and Sandy takes on the work. He's mostly known for building competition cars, hence the awesome power outputs on the engine's he's capable of building.  And has a huge name for himself on 106oc because of that very engine posted above ^^

Lol, ok if there was a woman as competent as Sandy then I would let them, but the stereotype is that motorsport is a man's game!
And Brian's right, he mostly does competition spec stuff but has taken a liking to 106/Saxo's and has developed his famous GSXR1000 bodies package from his success with small French cars!
Sandy mostly does the electrical stuff, looms, mapping etc. The actual graft & mechanical stuff is done by Colin Satchel. A google search of both their names will tell you these guys are s**t hot.
Gareth, thanks, hopefully it will be as good as I'm anticipating it to be, although Edward/Paul's dissatisfaction with his is giving me some doubts.
Finally, Guy, I don't think they will take on your diesel as their ethos is that they don't do boost out of personal preference and lack of experience!

WHAAAAATTT!! Didn't know that, they will just have to try!!
I suppose pug1off's 510bhp 205 is going to be a tough cookie to beat as some form of boost target. They might as well stick to what they know. Pug1off also did that tb'd 270bhp comp. spec engine in that 205 rallye too though?

Sandy is the most passionate person about NA tuning I have ever heard of!
Which is fine for me

hay jay im toying with the idea of brake up grades now but i've gone off the idea of 406 brembos as every one says they squeek loads, but i think that 180brakes with good disc's+pads+good fluid are more than capable up to 250bhp?

Yeah but it's always good to have faith in your brakes!
I really want a set of 4 pots but it's finding a set in my budget that's proving difficult.

i no what you mean, but if a set of 306 gti-6 brakes can stop a 510bhp 205 round a track without cooking i think they are a good option thats why im opting for the brakes you have......when i can find some its taking me ages to find a set that i wanna spent the money on as i nonly want the calipers.
i pmd you to

Yeah but a 205 weighs nothing, a high powered 206 would need bigger brakes as it's heavier!
If I buy new brakes I'll have a set of GTi180 calipers for sale for £100!
