Do you need to retune the engine?

[dazee]

Wondering if this is a stupid question or not, but rather ask than break something and regret later.

Precats in the manifolds were shot, so have completely removed them.
ACT induction kit was installed
Will be looking to fit cheery bomb exhaust.

Would the above either individually or combined require an engine retune?

No

Cool! Thanks. Always like good news where I don't have to spend more money.

Spend the money on something else for the car Daren, sounds like your getting her sorted out nicely.

After reading the topic on the outriggers I think will go towards an endoscope and get myself a little piece of mind. Seen no rust but concerned as I know this car was a little neglected before I got it.

"Shakken" is due this year so that should also give peace of mind - and lighten the wallet.

Couple of minor leaks I need to check out and may be asking the collective about later.

Keep asking, its good to know a Chimeara is being cared for even on the other side of the globe.
I'm always interested in the answers.
This worrying chassis thing, I'm sort of resigned to lift the body and do it right once!
I also admire the chassis of some cars more than any other part.

Would like to do body off and ground up rebuild sometime to ensure everything is good for many years to come. But baby steps for now as I gotta get my feet back on this wrenching thing. Starting to feel more confident but a long way from being able to do a body off restore yet.

Besides, not sure I'd be able to handle not driving it for an extended period of time just yet. Too much fun!

Your other post has another new thing I've not heard of before and think I'll need for future work. Ecumate... At the very least that will give some peace of mind that things are "normal".

Instead of the ecumate you could buy one of these :

I've used the roverguage software and it is absolutely great.

That's very interesting at 1/4 the price of ecumate. be interested to hear the pros/cons of using wither one.

And you have the man right here to get it from

Sorry Jackson(Peter), I've just realised! We met at Rockingham last year if I'm correct.
Our cars sat together in the pits.
Yes I will ask Blitz.

[dazee]

Actually nothing to lose at that price, just got one ordered, should be here next week. Hopefully will have everything else delivered by then and back on the car. Check all is ok then on to the next job. Parents are coming out in May and want to get the car all buttoned up by then.
