I was at Guglielmi today talking to Dave. He was telling me about the throttle mod on your car and I am thinking of having it done. What is your opinion?

DO IT

Several in this forum have had the mod done - a quick search revealed....

Shame you didn't mention it when you were here for the Rumble last week - you could have seen/felt it for yourself. If you're back in this neck of the woods again and you're still thinking about it let me know.

Read the threads, I think I'd better get it done-cheers

Sorry I didnt speak to you at the Rumble, the phone seemed to be stuck to your ear every time I saw you!!

Do it, no question!
For such a small amount of money the difference is immense.

Got the throttle MOD done and got it back today. You were right, it makes a huge difference, makes the whole thing easier to drive and more responsive, now what should I have done next......

[Longers]

Glad you think throttle mod worthwhile (I knew you would )

What next depends on your preference, current state of car, and £ available. Things I'd recommend that Dave fitted to his/my car would be:
More go = FSE boost valve
More stop = bigger front discs and possibly conversion of rear drums to discs
More = proper suspension check/set up etc

Boost valve will make a big difference and is relatively inexpensive. Brakes & suspension are a bit more expensive and may be worth leaving until current components need replacing.

Best to talk to Dave to see what's best for you and your car.

Don't forget that if you're in the area let me know and we can go for spin so you can feel the difference the above make.

Cheers for now,
Longers
