The holy water dwellers dropped my Ro back after a sport and response pack fitting today. I'm now on train on way home and can't wait to try it out. Just had to share.

That one took a little bit of thinking through.

Have fun tonight.

More smiles and animation than Goofy signing autos at Disney. I will happily give a road test report later.

Straight from the seat from what has been a very short road test :-
It now sounds like a grown up TVR which I love.
It doesn't to me feel like another 55bhp.
Response pack does tighten things up but mine still pulls left which I'm surprised at considering the holy water dwellers have had it on their rig.
Is it worth the cash? It makes the car now pretty much perfect for me save the steering pull.
Seaweed skimmers talk to me.

Didn't pull left on the test run. I'll give you a call tommorow to discuss.

Cool. Chat in the morning.

On a slight tangent, what is it with Monaros and pulling to the left? I've heard other comments about it and mine does it too. I did have the geo looked at but it was spot on already apparently. My friendly mechanic mentioned that sometimes the LSD can influence this? I'm a mechanical numpty so am unable to comment further. Ah well, it doesn't bother me too much now

Strange, I've noticed mine pulls left too so it can't be the coriolis effect

Planning on getting some suspension work and alignment soon anyway.

ETA my LSD isn't working either

Little test for you.
find an old banger that drives straight and true.
spend the best part of a day clipping kerbs, bumping up pavements and dropping off them, bouncing in and out of potholes/broken drain covers etc...
now see if it doesn't pull to the left!
I suppose the best way to find out is to ask the question on say the GTO forums (left hookers should pull to the right if my theory is right!)

Camber of the road I think you'll find, quite often why lots of cars Aren't set up completely true, to compensate.. Drive in the middle of the road, soon sorts it!!!

Of course, on M-ways, which are relatively camber free, this phenomenom is caused by the trenches left by overburdened trucks delivering our wonderful fairly priced goods...

So not the petrol tankers then!

When I got it done I was impressed by the low down torque improvement rather than any top end gain. I think breathing is a problem when you start to rev it.

[Lewis07]

Sorry mate, don't get what you mean. Top end I haven't tested. I just didn't feel that I had another 55bhp under my right foot.

When your pulling away from a slow speed in second, low revs, does it pull easier than before? I could notice it but I admit, it was subtle.
