Absolutely agree, always ask your mapper to be a little conservative and do we need very last horse power? @Dommo yes I know that I do compared to you Bunge it is a pain in the behind when this happens, been there.....

darve Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 No logging I'm afraid Was mapped by NMS so would have hoped mapping was ok Stripping down / measuring the engine over the next few weeks Quote
Paul T Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 A snap from this week.... ...picking up my (first) Westy on Saturday, garage prepared with bigger work bench, fluorescent lighting, laminate floor and worked out how to get everything either under the bench or off the ground level. Can't wait to start work on it! 8 Quote

Also on a highly tuned engine any changes to gas path or fuelling system can be enough to push the engine over the edge. Good luck with the rebuild Quote

Can't wait to start work on it! That is an obscenely tidy and clean garage! Do you not realise that the floor should be sticky with congealed oil, the walls daubed with notes of oil change mileages, the roof festooned with cobwebs of unknown vintage, and the corners running with giant spiders? If my Good Lady were to see that picture I'd would be nagged into putting up shelves, sweeping leaves out, and painting the walls of my garage! Shame on you sir! You have queered the pitch for us all! 1 Quote

Paul T Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Yeah stopping ballet was the main driver for getting a Westy...apparently will help with testosterone or something To be honest I might keep the car in the garden....be a shame to 'clutter' my lovely garage with an oily oil motor! :D Quote

GaryD1971 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I particularly like the nod to domesticity by allowing the washing machine to reside in the mancave! That's what I call sharing the space! Quote

Standard Ten hubcaps! I hope they're not Standard Ten wheels as they had a tendency for the centre disc to break away from the rim. Ask my Dad - well get your ouija board out anyway. Quote
