Well after 18 months with the Roadster being covered up in the garage I thought it was about time I got my backside in gear and got it finished.

I purchased the last parts just after Christmas and here she is all finished.



After a six week wait this Saturday was the day we went to the rolling road to get her checked & tuned up. Needless to say I was bricking it. All I was hoping was that the engine survived!!

Steve from Powercrazy Motorsport, near Cullompton Devon is an absolute legend. Explained exactly what he was doing at all times.
Carbs were setup spot on before I got there. Purely by luck. Just need a small tweek to the megajolt map.

Here we are all strapped down ready to go.


Rear end was light and jumping on rollers, needed some more ballast!!


Thats me sat on the roll cage lol.

Engine was a 1.6i from a 1990 Sierra, standard output of approx 70 bhp.
I binned the injection and fitted bike carbs & megajolt.
Final output was 109 bhp!!! With more to come if I want.

To say I was happy would be an understatement.

Any how couple of videos also attached. One before adjusting megajolt & one after. Enjoy while I go and fill in IVA forms.

Must say a big thank you to forum member Gus for towing the trailer, and taking some cracking pictures for me.

Cheers

Dave
