As with all racing (regardless of level) there are technical regulations and rules to abide by so we are careful to build and specify your car preparation specifically to the race series (ideally multiple choices) most suitable for your car.

Home is a custom designed workshop in Milton Keynes boasting facilities that you'd expect of the £1m investment it has taken to create. Four ramps, including a lazer alignment ramp with self levelling four post lift, ensures a perfect working environment, complimented by a £150,000 self contained dyno cell with the highest airflow flow fans in the UK. We possess all the relevant technical hardware and software needed to work on modern BMW's and as would be expected from a fully authorised Vauxhall service centre (unique for any tuning company in the UK) all the specialist tooling, skills and equipment to work on any Vauxhall.

Our dyno cell is one of the most advanced in Europe, based around a state of the art Dyno Dynamics Low Boy 450 Dyno it has the capacity to dyno test up to 4500bhp and caters for both two wheel and four wheel drive vehicles. The whole cell has been specially designed around race car set up and testing with the floor mounted dyno mounted to ensure underfloor cooling to rear engined cars with extended ramps to allow the lowest set up cars easy access. The floor mounted set up also allows for extensive strapping down of vehicles directly through the dyno itself, this means the vehicles are held down not held back so a true accurate readings are achieved. The cooling set up is unique, our 4 1m diameter fans generate offer 36,000 cubic feet per minute of airflow - enough to keep any car cool.

The range of cars we currently prepare for track work concentrates on the vehicles we know the best and have been engaged in tuning for several years. For the Elise Trophy we prepared four VX220 cars, three normally aspirated 2.2 Ecotec versions and one turbo charged Z20 LET model. Our latest conversion has been an E46 M3 for the Dunlop SportMaxx Championship, this car utilises some of our road car packages. Currently in build are two further Vauxhalls for the same series.
