After well over a year of 'issues' resulting from an incompetent cowboy workshop, it's fantastic to report that all is well again! The Beast is back!
After blowing a head gasket on the way to the 2007 Indy Rally (yes, we weren't even in competition yet!) I was recommended by a couple of happy fellow-competitors to take The Cruiser to Bill & Kelvin at CNJ. My mate Ian at Hi Octane Racing put in a good word for us & by the end of October, she was resident in Underwood.
The list of 'problems' would fill a book, lets just say they pulled the motor out & started from scratch and gradually faulty bits were replaced or repaired. (The plenum was so badly fabricated it was literally falling to bits, so a new one was fabricated in Sydney.)
The Result:
- Over 400kw on the rollers
- 100% usable power...it drives like it did with 200kw! No 'holes'...just beautiful clean power delivery. Certainly by far the best tune I've ever had!
- The engine bay is clean...no leaks! The wiring is tidy & immaculate. It's a pleasure looking in the engine bay!
- I feel that for the standard of work...& the end result, I was very fairly treated when it came to writing the cheque! Here I can say I have had lots of experience with totally opposite results...from other workshops...(you don't often 'get what you pay for'..)
We haven't actually run in competition yet...but a full program is starting soon!
