Finally Saturday was the day i've been waiting for since November, the rolling road set up.
Well, it was a naff day, so the roof went on and off we went at 9am. standing water and rain all the way.
arrived at 'AB garage' in Queensferry (Chester area). was invited in, made a brew and gave me a place to put the roof and doors once inside.
Adrian was really helpful with the set up. asked me lots of questions and answered lots of mine, nothing was too much effort.
the morning was spent setting up the car and teaching me how to use easimap properly.
standard 135 spec zetec engine, the results are as follows;
128bhp @ 6,600rpm @ the wheels, so somewhere in the region of 150bhp @ flywheel
and the best bit was the price;
£87.50 plus VAT = £105, now this I was really impressed with as we had been there 3 hours.
The difference to the drive is amazing, On Frasier's (Blink Motorsport) request I got the lamba sensor disabled. the car now runs seamlessly through the revs. A nice amount of popping from the exhaust, but none through the inlet like before, and the 6000rpm rev limiter has been moved up to 6800rpm.
all in all a very happy bunny with the results, drives like a modern engine now.
