Venom customs Remaps, bradford

[G2232]

Has anyone on here heard of these.

As i can't find anything on them but guys at gfs in leeds swear by them and a friend of mine have used them and said they're good and they guy who did his was a geniushe had a word with the guy there about my LCR and he said they have done a few LCR's getting 270bhp (dont have a torque figure as not spoke to the guy myself yet) and can do me one for £200

just wondered if anyone on here has used them

 

[ChrisUK]

I think Google UK says it all......

Your search - "venom remaps" - did not match any documents

 

[G2232]

does not mean they are no good thought.
thats not what i asked i am pretty confident that they are good otherwise guys at german & swedish wouldn't recomend them.
i asked if anyone had used tham on here.

 

[ChrisUK]

I take it by the lack of response that noone has mate - I've never heard of them ??

 

[G2232]

well that may well be true
but at the same time dont think they are a big company so unless you are local i doubt many will have heard of them

For the sake of under £100 more, surely you would be better off going for a tuner who has proven good feedback.

There are plenty of supporting tuners on here, you have to think of the safety of every part of your engine, not just the initial power improvement

 

[G2232]

im not about to go to some half arsed company and i am pretty sure they are far from that as the guys @ german, swedish & french car parts are no mugs

but thanks for the feed back and help

 

[m0rk]

the guys @ german, swedish & french car parts are no mugs

- they know their 'VW' bits etc, but I wouldn't judge their opinion as being valid because of their employer

 

[G2232]

why you say that mork?

 

[beezasport]

Could try RS Tuning?

 

[G2232]

and just so everyone knows im not saying thats where im going im just getting the full picture here with ALL my possiblilties

 

[G2232]

i've already given them a look at beeza cheers
as above im getting the full scope

 

[m0rk]

why you say that mork?

Say you made windows for a living, I wouldn't ask your opinion on how to make a nice pair of curtains.

sort of in the same area, but totally different skills required.

 

[daveyonthemove]

All remap companys deserve a go if you feel comfortable with the way they handle your enquiries and support they offer in the event of a problem, but for peace of mind it's always nice to pay a bit extra for something a dozen or so people have tried without problem.
It's your money at the end of the day, but i always say that buying the cheapest normally means you buy twice.
Good luck what ever you decide on.

 

[G2232]

well yeah i agree with your point mork
but its always good to have a wider scope in an area youwork in
like if you make windows its good to know a little about structure

but i think their opinions come from beond work related it also comes from personal experience as mat has had some VERY impressive cars

 

[m0rk]

mat has had some VERY impressive cars

again, to harp on about it - I know some people who have got some very nice cars between them. but spending all your money on a car doesn't mean you make the right choices, or have a valid opinion.

To take 'custom' tuning as an example - as a minimum it's a days work (custom-code quote 2-3 days for a proper custom map)

but Venom offer this same level of service for £200? that's like £20/hr once you take the VAT off. barely worth getting out of bed for as a business.

Which leaves you in two camps

"wow, that's cheap."

"hmm, that's not a custom map - he must have bought the maps on a VD and is just uploading to cars, and not actually customising them at all"

I don't want to sound like I'm pissing on your chips, but with less than £100 outlay on some hacked kit I could 'offer' remaps for pennies, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea.

Agreed. I know some guys in the trade with amazing machines, but they have NO technical knowledge, just good business skills, but I know they wouldn't be let near my car!

A ''true'' custom map will take 1 - 3 days to develop and perfect. We had a member with a modded MK3 Ibiza Cupra a couple of weeks back, and were mapping it from 9am - 4pm

Where "up north" are you ? If your local, you can take a look at mine if you want.

Get yourself to Bell Auto's, he knows his stuff

 

[G2232]

oh yeah well bell autos is at the top of my list at the moment but i have also had people saying very similar things about pete too (no offense pete)

but some people have said that he has had a couple of mis haps or something where its not gone too well.
Personally i have heard nothing bad but if people dont try these smaller guys out and let others know we will never know

 

[P-torque.co.uk]

Just take your time and dont rush into it. I'm sure Pete would do a good job for you.

Another quick thing to memntion is to consider whether a company is properly insured and covered.
