Jon’s
career started as an apprentice at a Rover V8 conversion specialist learning
all about steel fabrication and built himself a spaceframe V8 2CV!
Building an engine and the importance of good preparation “engine etiquette” was learnt with Goodman building Metro 6R4 engines.
Car handling and set up skills were learnt on the job racing in the Vecta Ford Championship for 11 years and working for TVR’s racing division building TVR race cars and their engines from scratch. Taking feedback from the drivers and translating it into race winning cars was part of the job and it is a skill Jon uses on JEMS customer’s cars.
Jon’s experience is vast, he has worked for UK Touring Car teams, Australian Touring Cars and has also worked on Drag Racing cars, European GT cars (with the focus on endurance as well as power) and Historic race and rally cars. Jon also worked for Knight Racing Services, the top V8 tuning company.
Winners of the Tyneside Rally 2009, the first National Rally win in a Mk2 Escort in 20 years.
Also winners, for two years running, of the Carlow MK2 Escort Challenge and 2nd overall, 1st in class on the Jim Clark National Rally.
This Mk2 Escort is a regular overall winner and giant killer, regularly beating WRC machinery.
202.17mph Celica!
JEMS in partnership with Fensport took the Toyota Celica to RAF Woodbridge
on 21 November 2009 and powered their way to an amazing top speed of 202.17mph.
JEMS would like to thank Fensport for the years of hard work and development
which has allowed us to power two cars to over 200mph.

Improved Handling and Grip
Audi S1 or S2 often suffer from handling and grip problems. By fitting these differential kits the ability to driver faster and safer is easily achieved.
JEMS Development
In addition to the kits JEMS designed Reiger dampers and set up experience can be employed. The UK market has yet to realise the enormous potential of these cars. JEMS can build and develop S1 and S2 Audis to be very competitive front running cars.

A good engine builder has an immaculate room for engine preparation that’s
a fundamental. The JEMS main workshop is almost as clean.
