Well that was amusing...ÂÂÂ
Got onto the M6 and thought, i won't tank it in the old girl cos A) it sounds a bit iffy, and B) is she starts to smoke again i need to stop quickly. Anyhow, moved out to middle lane to overtake a lorry, and all my lights go off, then back on again... great thinks me but carries on now driving with my left hand resting on the the freshly bought fire extinguisher. ( just in case )
Anyhow, pretty un-eventful drive, and the car being boring as buggery to drive, i get to stealth at 0830 on the button.
They open up and start moving the cars out and in goes my old shed. Straight on the rollers, First run completed and the the timing is retarded to buggery, its over fueling and the manifold is glowing after just one run ( it shouldn't glow until at least 3-4 power runs )
The guys start playing around with the fueling, get the timing sorted and do another run, they look quite happy. A few more little tinkers with fueling and It goes for another run. Vince is grinning like a monkey, and calls me over.
Run 1 = 134BHP ---ÂÂÂ
- slightly worrying, and no wonder it felt a bag of sh!t to drive.
Run 2 (final) = 190.7 BHP --ÂÂÂ
- now thats the sort of level it should be sitting at, he and i were both cheshire cats after that. ( torque = 154lb/ft again )
On the way home it was like a completely different car, the pick up on it was obscene, i was gibbering like a mad hatter each time i put my foot down and it torque steered off .........
I am in love with my shed againÂÂÂ
