Hey Guys!

Got to drive my car for the first time today (on private property ofc *wink* ) and it runs like a bag of shit lmao. I get to about 1200 - 1500 rpm and the AFR guage goes straight into the red then reads "---" then it suddenly gets loads of fuel then takes off. I only had it to 2000 rpm haha

What I want to know is obv I will need this setting up properly but does anyone know of a place that will setup my car properly close to swindon in wiltshire? I think theres a place in salisbury but its quite a distance away.

Cheers

Craig

MTech Automotive, Westbury.

Or try Glynn Farmer at Circuit Motors near Castle Combe.

Been to Neil Slark in Amesbury and by Christ he's good but as you say quite a few miles to go.

Mech repairs in Cheltenham did my fuelling. Made a fantastic job. Loads of power, good afr's and 45 mpg when driven reasonably. Expensive though... £80 / hour

I went to Neil Slark with the mk1 not a bad bloke.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

3 hours. Came as a bit of shock because stupidly I didn't ask the price and assumed £50/hour

Ditto that. Just not a friendly or happy person.

Tadge, could be onto a winner there. How much would it cost between us?

Al Mitchie and I had our cars setup by Neil Slark and the whole day cost us £250. I was on the RR for about 3 hrs and Al about 2 hrs. Absolutely well worth it. And sharing the day was definitely the way to do it. We had an absolute blast on the way home !

Good luck.

Richard.

Woolavington, Zummerzet

I've taken a variety of cars to Mech Repairs over th years, and won't be going back again.

Over priced, not happy with the results and they fecked the last engine I took there.
"What's your rev limit Mate ?"
"6000 tops, it's an 1100 and doesn't like going over that."
First run 6500...
Subsequent runs smoking like a bastard.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.
