A few clips from the rolling road calibration session last Friday for the Specialsit Components demo car. As you can see the car was well and truly worked - the steady state rpm clip was one point of many in the 2 hours session. Its this level of calibration detail which results in a beautiful creamy smooth motor - which goes as well as it sounds!

turn the volume up and enjoy the little engine sing like Pavoraotti to 7600rpm!

some on road/drive bye stuff coming over the weekend

cheers

Yep but it looked like the rad needed the front panel cutting??? and I didn't know if more trimming was needed in the engine bay...

Hi - yes our conversion will go under a round nose car - my gold car is meant to go fast and not look too pretty hence the front mount rad. The cooling capacity from the twin core side mounted rad for a fast road car is more than enough - the clubby sits at 70 degs even on the rollers in 28 deg ambients. So the simple amswer is YES it will fit easily without bulges for that stealthy look under a round nose - you can't disguise the noise mind!

It was nothing too exciting, i was wondering if you could make me some 60mm ram pipes for 40's as you only advertise them for 45's in that length?

[johnK]

Hi Dan - shouldn't be a problem - are you looking for 4?

cheers

haha its an estate aswell lol

that makes it even better, who would expect a clubby estate to have 107 bhp
