  • It's alive! This gearbox has got oil in and everything :) About the running order. Can I go about an hour before the end? Reckon that'll be about right for the RAC getting there.

  • The only time you stall a car at traffic lights, is either when you're learning to drive, or your starter motor doesn't work.

that will never end well

they did some work with my car last year as i asked them to be careful with it, as we had only just got everything in and didnt want it blowing up again so quick so ask them jamie it might cost a little more but its worth it

all i saw them do was balance your carbs? lol

They did some fuelling measurements and stuff too, and advised

yeah, measured afr lol. still ragged on the dyno. careful stuff haha :lol:

They didn't even look at AFR I don't think, and they were monitoring live so could abandon at any point, they've a lot of experience I'm sure they know what they're doing lol

was gunna say, not like they are a bunch of clueless tyre monkey's, they have been doing this stuff for longer than weve been alive.

I so hope I get the Mk1 MOTed in time!!! Got a week..

Although doubt it will be running right :lol:

they did monitor the car live so they could abandon if needed they took it through a few different rev tests then asked me if i wanted to go for a power run which they only took to 80% to be safe although the throttle pedal stuck open so it revved on its own anyway

looks like we have a convoy from up here anyway with max,pascoe,schneil and me
