Joolz smoothed mine right out, no lumps at all, bringing my torque in early.
I didn't mean lumps or bumps you can actually feel, I just meant the trace on the chart itself

It looks as if the two charts could actually be the same, because the detail is so closely aligned
Yup and I meant smooth
This was as it left Joolz with badly cracked manifolds, showing the power gain with his work, red to blue. Lumpy but Joolz said this was due to the cracked manifolds


And this was with the new manifolds, replaced coils and leads (as one of the coils broke down a couple of weeks later)

As Ukkidd said, can't actually feel it, but that is different altogether Byker,

& may have to re-think those carbon/concrete airboxes...laugh

Charlie's charts always seem to look smoother, and the scale is different too which makes comparisons slightly harder

Happy days! Will make for an enjoyable run back up to Bonnie Dundee - hope it's after this imminent freeze has passed over us!

Look forward to seeing the car at some point wink
Hi Ross,

She's already back up! Salt washed off on Sunday underneath, on top and all nooks and crannies I could get the Karcher into! Did just over 300 miles from Joolz, 5 hrs, half A1, other half 696 over t'hills so not a bad run at all! She turned 15000 miles just as we entered Jedburgh which was quite fitting as we got 12000 a year and a half ago in almost the same spot after buying. Back sorn'd, in garage waiting on all this weather to go away. We must meet up over the summer when you are about, I am a stones throw from your parents place.

Cheers
Sticky
Beat the bad weather then!

Yes definitely - my folks are on Castleroy Rd and I make an effort to visit every time I'm home to avoid grief from dearest mother hahaha

[quote=Byker28i]If you get a quote for hydro dipping your airboxes, let me know how much as thats a thought as my engines in bits at the moment.


I got a quote for hydro dipping the airboxes and my wiper arms in carbon.

They are talking between £250-£300 all in but wanted some measurements
to be more accurate.

I have decided just to rub down and spray my wiper arms as I already have
the paint. At this point I'd rather spend a couple of hundred refurbing my
RL's.

Sticky.
