Rolling Road

[Guest Tim Norman]

Just got back from Pete Burgess with the V8.

When I went in, the engine had 198 bhp at the wheels and 246 torques. More concerning, and I had noticed it on the road which was why I was there in the first place, was the fuelling. It was running lean at wide open throttle and cruising wasn't much better.

 

Well after a few hours, bigger secondary jets, different metering rods and and much lighter springs the car is now so much better to drive. It doesn't bog down and flutter on pick up and it is no longer trying to run on fresh air!

 

The drive home was like a different car altogether. Best £90 I have spent in a long time.

 

Oh and the additional 25 bhp and 24 torques are more than welcome too!

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Sounds like a great result.

Nice one!!!.......anyone know of a decent tuning centre/rolling road in the Southend ( Essex ) area???? .......had a real bad experience with my Exmo & the rolling road at Lakeside, they revved it soooo hard it managed to 'Jump' a tooth on the timing belt!!!!! -- took me a week to find out what had happened!!!!! -- I'd still like to get my 2.1 Pinto that runs a 32/36 DGAV Weber tuned properly!

Your target is to get past the end of your drive without cutting out, ne'mind counting ponies.

Poorly ponies dont count!

Chris go to AT Speedracing at Rayleigh. Old school tuners who deal in Webbers and older engines. Father and two sons run it with the father doing all the carb stuff and his sons doing the more modern stuff. They have been featured in Complete Kit Car twice and I have been there on a TR club day with my father in law. It's where I will be taking my Pinto running twin 40's

[Guest Tim Norman]

I'm more impressed with torques and how it drives, Can't wait to get the puncture repair sorted properly and a drier day to try it out properly

been working down your way today, the weather certainly wasnt kit car freindly!

[Guest Tim Norman]

Tell me about it...When I set off it was dry, By the time I got to J27 I was drenched!

Cold tyres, wet roads and a very uneven torque curve on the way there made for a very sideways at times experience!

[Guest Tim Norman]

Word to the wise. Whilst Tyreweld may get you home you can't then repair the puncture. Apparently it leaves a film on the inside of the tyre that can't be cleaned off, and as such the glue for the patch won't stick. Or so I am told!

[Guest mower man]

It is good but as you say causes probs later , a real mess inside the tyre wich is impossible to remove mower man

[Longboarder]

223 and 270. Far too much for a man of your modest years. Please email me 50 of those torques.

 

Reminds me of that Oz bumper sticker. Only Milk and Juice comes in 2 litres.
