Car Care of Kensington is proud to be a dealer for Shark Performance Tuning. Drawing on years of knowledge and enthusiasm, we are able to offer you the best performance software money can buy. Whether it's a small boost in power, a desire for better fuel economy or a fully bespoke remap written exactly for your modifications, we can help you achieve your goal.

All of our remaps are custom made specifically for your vehicle, and we never use generic 'off the shelf' remaps. Using your existing ECU data downloaded off your vehicle, we work in conjunction with Shark Performance's leading software development programmers to produce a totally unique remap for your vehicle.

We also deal with all aspects of race-car preparation and road-to-race car conversions. For full details and to find out more, visit our dedicated website at www.rsr-racing.co.uk
