If you put your vin into the parts catalogue does it not tell you want the car is with some added options??

JJ

I have the options list but I haven't a clue what what means. I did have a mate who worked at Merc of Leeds but he has now left and is working as warranty admin at Farnell Jaguar Leeds. I have a couple of parts which iv ordered from Merc Leeds so when they call, depending on who calls me I might ask them.

might google said mitsi specialist in Lincoln.

You can jump on any rolling road though

Might as well use a Mitsubishi Motorsport  specialist to remap a Mitsu engine though

[CrazyG]

Remaps are 99.9% for turbo lumps. For N/A (Normally Aspirated) power
units there is little if anything to be had, part from a drain on your wallet.

[Coverman]

It ain't necessarily so. A rolling road tune found me 13 BHP and better mid-range response on my hillclimb car

[Problemchild]

We aren’t talking about remaps though - just testing mrSingh’s BHP

JJ

[mr singh]

correct JJ. iv no interest in having my 'SB3' mapped. might try RS tuning in Leeds as they have a dyno.

Paul Murray has moved RS Tuning to his dad West End Garage in Hyde Park

… and they don't open on Saturdays.

ill try FR&R in Bradford as they are open till 6 on a Saturday.

I cant seam to get a break with my SB3... something else had gone wrong.

I replaced the poly bushed engine stabiliser which I bought from 'G' as I thought it had started rattling for a standard one, well its not rattling as much but I think that the joint from the exhaust manifold and CAT is blowing under load. it doesn't make much noise under light throttle but when I put my foot down it sounds like an old V12 XJS at idle, it sounds thirsty.

looks like ill have to get some new exhaust studs, nuts and springs, but im also debating on replacing the CAT for a new one as I think mine is on the cock. when you look at the exhaust hangers one is compressed and the other is stretched, almost like the CAT is twisted but it isn't, as a result the tail pipes are not sat straight.

Cough!! Stainless system

[cecil]

just one of those questions: Have you checked the engine mounts?

[mr singh]

Cecil, all have been replaced, all bought from Mercedes, the gearbox mount had the yellow powerflex insert.

JJ... tempting, it is tempting

You probably know this but there was a thing if I remember correctly.when building a kit car about tightening engine and gearbox mount's with car on its wheels or the ride height as if in the air it can twist the engine when back on its wheels. Or was I dreaming.
