Juast back from rolling road!
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.

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..

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!

sounds like £160 very well spent. 130 hp crossflow will be very nice indeed
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

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.
