Hi guys
Just got back from my rolling road session at Hitech motorsport in cradley heath.
Just want to first say that Mick is a top bloke and couldn't do enough to help me!!
After changing the chokes and pump jets he managed to squeeze 130bhp out of the crossflow which was more than I was expecting. It idles great now and
is so much more driveable than before!
He was recommended to me by Dave Ashurst and I will be passing on the reccomendation too!

Thats a good result for a crossflow. 130 will make it entertaining.

Mick looks after our race car and 2 others in the Tiger series now, very genuine guy and Ben there knows his stuff as well, cant recommend them enough
Shaun,
Can I ask how much it cost as I am thinking of putting mine thru a rolling road but did not know about hitech.
It is just down the road from me. Did you have to book it and wait long for a free day to turn up..

130 bhp will be very entertaining! nice one.
He charges 90 + vat for the session, that includes pretty much all his time to get the car running right, unless there is somet major amiss.
Basically he changed 4 chokes, 4 air jets, 3 or 4 power runs, plugs, timing and compression check and a big smile on my face for £160 inc parts and
vat!
Waiting time was roughly a week when I booked!

top result there shaun, you coming to the meet on monday in it then?
All being well yes!
sounds like £160 very well spent. 130 hp crossflow will be very nice indeed
good result, out of interest what mods have been done to the engine??

should be good fun
Thanks for the recommendation. I have been looking for a good localish rolling road. I've just booked a session in a couple of weeks time.
