Trip to Angel-works

[Sunburn]

Well,

Took my beloved 172cup on a 200+ mile round trip to Angelworks last Friday.

had 72k + Cam belt/Aux Belt + Inlet Match + Remap + Ind kit fitted.

can honestly say was worth every single penny!!!!

if anyone considering Angelworks for any work small or large scale you couldn't pick a better team!!!!

service, workmanship, technical knowledge second to none;

Thank you BenR

Very nice! Ben certainly knows his stuff. Will be taking mine there for a remap very soon! bet your car feels a lot faster now??

Well its a strange one, the best way i can describe it is like 5th has become 4th 4th has become 3rd and 3rd has become 2nd *BUT* without the loss of acceleration.

fuel ecom has deffo improved, was just over 30/32mpg before now settled at around 36/37mpg

the only downside is the exciting kick at 4500/5k has gone, however its been replaced with such smooth power flow over the rev range, once you get used to that, the car becomes very eager to earning you 3 points

What diff 0-60 would you say it has made??

That lot must have cost you a lot??

0-60 I really couldn't say, as I never timed it from stock, however what I would say is it sure feels quicker!

 

[markclio2007]

Cool how much do they charge for just a remap and what hp gains on a stock 182

 

[ben_p]

245+vat this you get about 8hp and around 12ft/lb mate..

worth it imo

 

[markclio2007]

cool when i got a spare £300 will go for it

 

[Sunburn]

Mark, you get the best from the remap when combined with other mods like inlet match etc. afaik

 

[Middo]

Thansk Geoff,

have you only just got up from the drive home? lol

 

[172Petey]

Sounds brilliant!

Ben, im hoping to see you tomorow!

 

[Sunburn]

Thansk Geoff,

have you only just got up from the drive home? lol

funny you should say that... managed to get lost on the Mway around Birmingham, somebody moved the M5 i swear!! so when we did get back pretty much fell a sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow

Since then i have been too busy driving my car around for no other reason then to drive it lol

 

[TimR26]

I'm looking into getting a few mods and need the a cambelt and service. Can I ask how much it all cost?

 

[ja.jack]

Another post suspiciously similar to a few before.

You're not paying them are you Ben? lol

 

[BenR]

Sure am, i've got a few template threads for them to choose from.

 

[Jesske]

I was thinking the same, suspicious

 

[172Petey]

Eather that, or every one who has been there is ultra happy and just cant wait to tell every one about there new found power! :race:

 

[Jesske]

Is it necessary to change the cambelt if you install these mods?
They just replaced my cambelt

 

[sam_mcn]

lol.

I had my 36k service done by AWT last month and took the option to get a go on the matched inlets too. I didn't start a thread about it, but doesn't mean I wasn't happy with the work. Excellent service and both Ben and his colleague have an exceptional eye for detail. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have known I needed a new driveshaft a week before warranty expired
I will be returning for a remap over the summer...

 

[ja.jack]

Who is the mysterious colleague? He must be good to meet Ben's exacting standards.

 

[PPTom]

??????

 

[lasbazrre]

I'm off too Angelwork's tomorrow, getting inlet/manifold match, can't wait!

I hope i'm as happy after my 5 hour round trip!

Ive already had the RStuning/Angelwork's inlet/manifold remap done at RStuning last week!

??????

You got a signed autograph:lolup:

 

[PPTom]

free with every service and inlet match!!

 

[sam_mcn]

^^^Brilliant! lol.
What's his name? I've forgotten. Really safe bloke though.

 

[PPTom]

How could you forget a name like that!

 

[ja.jack]

Odd job's wee brother lol

 

[lasbazrre]

Tattoo?

leon

 

[DH_GTI]

do AWT have a remap for inlets and catback ss exhaust yet ???

 

[BenR]

He's called a mech lol, i guess Sam was being polite.

And i dont let him do anything and everything round the workshop, i spend more time watching him than doing my own work. But you have to spend time training people up or you'll never get what you want just by looking for someone already with it.

 

[BenR]

do AWT have a remap for inlets and catback ss exhaust yet ???

yes

 

[BenR]

Tattoo?

leon

Now THAT is not a bad idea!

MIght have to tie down the mech though as it might be against his will.

 

[PPTom]

by the way bens mech (I've also forgot his name) did my 24k service and fitted my matched inlets, top bloke!!

 

[BenR]

Because he has an odd foreign name.

Trung..........or as some people call him, Ann.

 

[ben_p]

is he a tea b**ch too?

 

[BenR]

not unless you want chinese tea.

 

[ja.jack]

When we going to see the new stuff ie exhaust, inlet system?

 

[BenR]

when its finished, you asking me every week isnt going to get it done any faster.

I've got plenty of already comitted work to get on with before i waste any time on development projects.
