For-Tune PVE - rolling road business goes live!

Greetings!

A number of you will have seen that Steve (Scort) and I have been setting up a business together (in my Off Topic thread, started back in August). Well we're about ready to open our doors at long last!

Welcome, everybody, to the wonderful world of For-Tune PVE! We are operating out of Ilton in Somerset (Multimap linkshows us here over on the left; post code TA19 9DU) and offer a wide range of services:

~ 1,200bhp Dyno Dynamics rolling road - allows us to offer power runs, rolling road shootout days, diagnostic and set-up work and chip tuning/OBD II services. Engine management supply, installation and mapping will also be on offer in the not-so-distant future.

~ Mechanical work - No job too small! Servicing, pre-MOT checks, brake conversions, engine conversions. You name it, we can probably do it!

~ Fabrication - There is a fabrication company just seven doors down from us on the business park, meaning we can offer all manner of custom made intercoolers, radiators, manifolds (an example of which can be seen below, on my car) and other parts, leaving very little that we can't offer right out of our doorway.

Open Days

Since we are just on the brink of opening, we are aiming to hold a couple of opening events. Power runs will be offered at the discounted price of £35 this Saturday (29th Sept), £45 all of next week, and back up to the usual price of £50 from Monday (8th October) onwards. Please get in touch if you would like to come this Saturday, as numbers will be limited. A power run consists of three power runs, a consultation relating to your data afterwards, and a printout of your run.

Rolling road days

We are available for club/region rolling road days, if a group of five or more of you want to come for a day of discounted power runs. Please get in touch for details and pricing.

Website

Our website is under construction at the moment, but should be up and running within two weeks with full pricing and information. For now, please contact us on: 01460 57999 or fax us on 05601 264062.

Thanks everybody, it means a lot to have all your support :)

Max - We're already ordering in some extra straps to keep Capris Capri on the rollers, hopefully they'll be here in time to harness the 306 ;)

Chris - Agreed! A 350 mile trip for a discounted power run is a tough call to make though...

Gareth - There's always next weekend if you can't make it this weekend :) Hope the house is going well - and I don't remember the Mitchell brothers coming from a modelling background like ourselves ;)

Shaun - Would be good to see you again matey! I missed you at Alton Towers! :cry: We'll be open at 8:30am on Saturday :) Mini day should be a laugh! You want a staff T-shirt eh? You must first prove yourself! :devil:

nonads - Free day will be the day you stop removing boost hoses with an angle grinder! :lol:

I have no idea what its running atm, would like to have it done after the tune but if everyone is about this weekend i may as well see what its like now! Cant justify bringing the fiesta, will prob be raining and i want to have that done again at the place it was last time even though they have a DD RR as well.

I may have a couple of cars to clean tho and do need the cash. Will know nearer end of week!

Jamie, It is indeed that crazy girls Saph. James is trying I think. His discount structure revolves heavily around sexual favours you see. Good to know for future reference! :wink:

daws - Long time no hear! The manifold is around the £400 mark, and can be made any which way you like really. Hear from you in a bit then :)

Nice one guys! Sure all our fiestas will be safe in your knowledgeable hands. You'll defo be the first people I think of if/when I move down South Wales. :D Sure there'd be plenty of interest if you could get some proper stainless Fiesta Zetec exhaust manifolds made up.

Ps: Want to give me a job? Have a degree in Automotive Electronics and nobody else seems to want me. :(
