Friday got the call that the floor was reapired and all ready:-
So she is now all taxed, yep the ones from Sheep Central mugged me, and now in use. The ride is much smoother with the new shocks fitted............................................... which is a surprise as her ride was not bad before. The lower shock bushes were nto in the best of health as as these new shocks were on hand it seemed daft not to fit them.
So now the mind turns to the next stage of improvements
.
Planned already are:-
Servo brace of some kind.
Better front brake pads ......... or brake upgrade. (
Current pads are Apec I believe in the front)
Replace air filter to throttle hose with smooth interior one.
Throttle body, alloy 48mm modified or 52mm one if possible.
It will be interesting to see what she produces power wise now ..................................... and have just discovered that we have a local place with a dyno and rolling road so will make enquireis as to costs for a run or two. The any further improvements can be checked to see exactly how they perform depending on price of course. It's only a couple of miles up the road too!.
Have decided to upgrade her if I can power wise to make the difference in driving her from the VVC "Elsie" less noticable. To this end am currently seeking advice and suggestions as the the feasibility of things like a TF 135 head or just the higher lift cams as found in the TF 115's andTF 135's. After all she now has the TF135 filter for better flow and with it's forwards feeding intake for more direct flow it should be much better on the intake side.
