Taken from my project page:


As i mentioned at the start, the idle and timing were shot when i bought the car. The idle was around 4-500 rpm and when i put my foot down the car would really struggle and hesitate. A trip to the vee dub master that is Rubjonny was in order!

I turned up at John's place on a wet Sunday morning and let him do his magic. The weather was crap but he still set-up my car with the timing gun and co meter. Big thanks John if you're reading this!  :wink:

We went out for a quick run after he had finished, and WOW is the only word! The difference was amazing, i think i much prefer k-jet to digifant.

I think we spent more time in your garage out of the rain while we waited for your mate (another John??) to come down with the timing gun!  :smiley:
