I stripped the engine, checked her over, and except for changing a few push
rods, I took the head to Newark Engineering for the valve seat work, and
rebuilt, it all looked too good to waste money.
The figures I gave, I still have the photos somewhere, I just sat in it and he
told me which gear and when to floor it! I made notes off all the equipment
and readings just as I did last week with a full suspension setup at my local
Subaru specialist (they do my 265bhp scooby). The second run wasnt that good
as I left the handbrake on! As I put on the forum he double checked the peak
bhp as the first setting on the scale only went from 0-150bhp and it was
reading top scale so he reset to the next scale to double check. I just wanted
to get her setup correctly, as lets face it she's not going to be driven as
hard as my scooby or Ducati 996! Its a different kind of fun.
Try looking up Peter Baldwin, knows more about rolling roads and SU's than
most !
Have to admit she goes well, first long run out this week as took car to have
hood fitted on Tuesday, and picked her up today, sits nicely at 80mph on
m6/m69 :)
cheers Andy
