Yes.. and a number of folks on this forum are excellent candidates for a cult. lol
Think Mustang IIs of the '70's. Re-skinned Pinto. Had one of those too. Piece o' crap.
Got too fat. The 240Z was lighter, faster and more agile. That's the one I want.

The 70's and 80's with new government mandates on pollution control and safety in the developed world, coupled with fuel availability crises were not kind to any make or model on the planet. Nothing from that era is particularly desirable. It took awhile for the industry to get back on it's feet and put performance back in play along w/ cleaner air and fuel economy.

I have used Dinan for many years way back, when they were just getting started. Things are not what they once were, and ECU turning is now done mostly with Piggy back harnesses. I have a Dinan done up 650i that they have spent 1 1/2 years trying to sort out issues with, it was never solved. I cannot see Dinan getting involved with Jaguars or Land Rovers, if they were to go in any direction other than BMW, I would think MB or Audi would be a far better fit. From what I can see you already have tuners getting good results with these cars. In my 40 plus years of taking cars apart a rebuilding them I have seem tuners come and go and many claims made that could not be backed up. For me at least I do not work with any tuner than cannot supply me with a handheld tuner that stores my original programming so I can revert back to stock if need be (like during the winter months). I have never cared about warranty more about performance and the ability to easily return to factory settings.

I don't know that I'd trust a company who offers a "turbo" upgrade for 1900 euros and expects to add 80 horsepower with it + a tune. Sounds like they don't have too much experience here. I think you'd be better off with APVelocity.
