Ok. After today will hopefully have finshed changing the Spark plugs, HT leads, Oil, throttle linkage joints, reset adaptives and make sure all is tickity boo. I'm thinking on putting her on the rollers. I'm sure she has more. However, I'm realy not 100% about doing this. Putting her on rollers and screaming the t!ts off her can't be that good?
Or just being over cautious?
Your veiws on the rolling roads would help please
Thanks again

as long as you find a reputable rolling road place, I see no problems at all.

If you are just after an indication of how the car is just go along to Austecs open day on the 16th and get a free power run. I think you'll find they have had more Cerbs on the rollers than most and can tell when alls not well very soon in the run, although the risks as with all rolling roads is yours.
As for high revs, I always maintain that a single run on the rollers is no worse than any energetic pull away that I may or may not do on daily basis hehe.

I have to say after today the car is running the BEST since I have had her.
A MASSIVE THANKS to Mark (marks3drtaz) who changed the center exhaust (no more tweety pie under the car, HT leads(KV85), Oil + Filter (Royal Purple) Sparks (Iridiums) and Linkage joints (Among other things)
Well, what can I say!
Its like a new car. Tight, better response, sound/is very smooth, no more dying of death on start up and her A$$ is like a Butchers Dogs tail. Never had that before!
I'm WELL HAPPY!

The only concern is that when the oil was droped is sure didn't come to 6 Lts
and the dip stick has always shown Max. Have been topping her up and giving it close attention now that I feel more sure about using the cars and she is getting used more than weekends. Not sure if many people have found this?
Its a little worrying to me that (Yes I, know the dipstick lies!) you check it correctly and you could be so far out running a high risk of damage.
(Yes, checked when cold etc) I'm thinking oil change every 2k miles to be safe.

Getting over that, the car feels like it wants to
kill from the start, rather than think about it first
