But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Done 100+ miles in it at a guess.. And it's not missed a beat.. It's awesome!

The tracking has made a massive difference :afro:

Update on tracking with pics tomorrow!

Yeah mines clocked over 130k now and if you ignore the tappet noise its still great, no smoke, no oil burning.. Great motors.

I hope you get some good weather, it was too nice too early and now it's gone pants here.

thanks Shaun and chaps :afro:

its a fantastic feeling... took the Rivage over to Merityre Hook who did a full laser alignment and even took off the steering wheel and aligned everything up straight... top top work

They give you a before and after report..

Before:

They were dubious that the neg camber adjustment would come back into something reasonable... I said that they should give it a go anyway... they were surprised how good an adjustment they got in the end.

I was watching from the customer area on the screen so you can see what they are doing...

but in the end they invited me through to watch what was going on...

After report:

The car drives as straight and true as could be... its amazing the difference it makes!

They spent about an hour and a bit setting everything up and making sure it was as good as could be... all for the bargain price of £48.

Barrie the Manager is very knowledgeable and friendly... would recommend these guys to anyone. :afro:

Awesome stuff, might have to take the MKII there for alignment.

Very thorough.  How much did they charge for that? Mines currently running on an ancient homebrew setup technique!   :grin:  :lipsrsealed:

Be interested to know how far out it is now.  Feels fine though.
