Dannyb Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I stayed and watched when he did my spit. It was great watching him re-profile needles with a file and take the dizzy apart and grind bits off to get more advance. He also has home made gauges that fit on the top of the dash pots so he can see the amount of lift from each carb while sitting in the car. He spent about 5hrs on mine and it drove fantastic.

iggy Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 yes he certainly no's what he's doing Danny, il be taking mine back there after ive got the diff sorted, he said he could get more torque from my engine with free flow air filters plus re-profiling the needles🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do either of you two gents mind saying how much you were charged for your sessions at Atspeed? I'll be taking my car to a RR once the new engine is fitted and run-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPearce Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Quoted from thescrapman- Another option is the one up near Wimpole Hall Near Wimpole? Where's that then? Cambridge group recently had a session at Regency in Cherry Hinton, who also seem good (we only did a couple of measurement runs per car as a kind of taster).

thescrapman Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Peter Baldwin working at Wilshers garage in Wimpole. Seems he shut up shop sadly recently. Was the go-to man for tuning Minis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
