BESPOKE ECU TUNING

A.D.Edmundson is delighted to offer BESPOKE ecu tuning for most makes and models of car. Unlike many ecu tuning companies that consider your car as just another job to pay the wage, we pride ourselves on honesty and consider it not to be just another job, but our passion to work on your car!
We have worked on numerous high performance cars including one of the fastest Volkswagen Scirocco’s in Europe and the famous Barracade Police Skyline, where both monsters are looking for that 9 second pass on their next outing! Also let’s not forget a 700bhp EVO which drives to and from the track!! Our expertise has also made its way into the Time Attack series where we will be working on 2 time attack cars for the 2010 season. www.timeattack.co.uk
But it doesn’t just stop at petrol cars, we also offer a full diesel tuning service from which we have had amazing results. Many of our customers require a car that can be hammered around the track or down the strip all day long but will still purr on the way home.
Ecu tuning isn’t the only service we can provide. We also offer a full bespoke engine building service from standard engine builds right up to monster 1000bhp+ builds by an ex-touring car and Bentley Technician.
Future developments include our own in house dyno, so watch this space for updates where we will be offering club discounts. In addition, a full website will be up and running very shortly.
So please feel free to contact me on either 01254 208983, 07717 66174 or 07733 333030 to discuss your personalised tuning needs and rest assure... you will be in safe hands from start to finish.

THE POLISHING BOOTH

After spending years being frustrated by how some people do not have the time, inclination or know how to clean and polish their own pride and joy correctly, THE POLISHING BOOTH was set up out of pure dedication for producing immaculately valeted cars .

The majority would rather take their vehicles to a main stream garage valet centre or a supermarket hand wash. I once witnessed a brand new registration BMW M3 being cleaned in a supermarkets carpark and the sponge was dropped on the floor, picked back up and put straight back on to his unmarked paintwork, I could have cried! The perfectionists amongst us would rather the job done right and take it to someone they can trust.

I have the time, the passion and the enthusiasm to detail anybody's pride and joy to the highest of standards. I have a pristine workshop and I'm fully insured to carry out work on your pride and joy. if you want perfection then give The Polishing Booth a call.

I am an authorised stockist of Meguiar's and Autoglym products so if there is anything that you require from their range then don't hesitate to all, email or pay me a visit. Pleas also check out our website that is being updated on a daily basis www.thepolishingbooth.co.uk

ABW – Past, Present and Future:

ABW (AutoBodyWorks) was established in 1989 by Daren Bezant. Beginning with simple paintwork repairs mainly for trade customers the business soon expanded to light accident repairs and respray’s.
Before long heavier damaged vehicles were being repaired and a full chassis alignment jig and measuring system installed. After repairing numerous vehicles for a local salvage firm they started dealing themselves in repairable salvage vehicles. Another company importing cars from Japan employed their services to repair and refinish numerous Japanese marque’s and from there the love affair with everything Subaru began.
Starting off as the main UK distributor for Chargespeed bodykit’s they built up a very loyal customer base and started to get some good feedback and input as to what was missing from the Subaru styling market.
After employing the services of a very experienced local mould maker they set about creating some unique WRC inspired bodykits for all years of Impreza. Starting with the ever popular Classic they made a full wide arch kit which kept the same lines but widened the car by around 25mm each side to accommodate wider rims and improve the stance.
Following on from that was the 2001 bugeye Impreza which too was given the ABW treatment. This time they attempted a replica of the world championship winning works WRC car. Producing front wings, rear arches, front bumper, extra bonnet vent and a foglamp pod, the fitted kit looks as close to the real thing as you’ll get without the £300k price tag.
Next on Subaru’s list was their 2003 Blobeye Impreza another model year which ABW gave the replica WRC look to their bodykit. Again consisting of front wings front bumper, rear arches and an extra bonnet vent.
The final model year to get the ABW WRC replica treatment was the 2006 Hawkeye. In true ABW style the easy option was not an option and they proceeded to make this rally replica using all steel panels which were widened and reshaped to again give an almost perfect version of the works car.
This Hawkeye is the current Showcar for ABW which has already been dismantled and moulds taken to produce the kit in fibreglass.
So to the present and into the future what’s in the pipeline for ABW. There’s one last model of WRC car the 2008 which, as you would expect, is already in the pipeline. In addition to that, again after listening to their customers, ABW are producing a full range of Time attack inspired bodykit’s and styling parts.
So if you have an idea for anything Subaru let them know and you never know your ideas could be on the next ABW car or even gracing the cars of the Big Guns in Time attack. www.a-b-w.co.uk
