are motorscope in northallerton any good??

tom_spanner · 17-09-2007, 22:28

im going to be needing a rolling road setup for my 1600 8v corsa on twin 40's soonish. ive just been to motorscope in northallerton today and they said roughly two hours on the rollers which sounds fair.

has anyone used them and if so would you recommend them?

corsatdave · 07-10-2007, 21:44

yeah they 20 miles away from me mate
they ok for minor engines and car set ups
getting good with diesel power also knocking bout 200bhp on there chips

tom_spanner · 08-10-2007, 11:55

cheers mate, im looking at a full step up, ill be able to get it running ok but i dare say factory ignition timing etc wont match the mods, or the twin 40's ive got. the carb jets may even be wrong???? do you know of anywhere better locally, well 50 mile radius? ive been to courtney sport before but they are a long treck from up here aint they.

do they fit diesel chips to vans?, my sprinter would benefit big time from one!!!

corsatdave · 08-10-2007, 18:40

Yeah Most Places Local Would Be Like Leeds Heard Of Place In Newcastle But Will See If Can Get You More Details
Which Part N E You At?

tom_spanner · 08-10-2007, 19:46

cheers mate im quite local to you, im in richmond, ive got transport so although the car aint legal i can get it to almost anywhere with a good rolling road.

corsatdave · 09-10-2007, 21:57

tom_spanner · 10-10-2007, 11:06

there is an ultimate webber guru who works near faceby, just past stokesely. hes called ron harper and is the daddy with carbaretturs. he does more classical cars but he knows his shiznit. he cost me an arm and a leg but was well worth it as most peolpe were just trying to blag me when i wanted my 40's setting up. if you want his number let me know and ill dig it out for u. rich

tom_spanner · 18-10-2007, 17:40

mwardle · 02-08-2008, 19:49

Old thread, I know, but, Motoscope have a very good RR setup.

Had my car on it twice last year, and they actually listen to you when you tell them stuff about your car.

i thort this was a vx site, if you dont like my choice of car keep it to yourself.

lightened/balanced bottom end and fly wheel, arp bolts, skimmed/flowed head, cam, vernier pulley, 4-1 exhaust manifold/system, twin 40's, 16 v brakes, full omp cage, buckets & harnesses, internal tank and lines,poly bushes, bilstiens etc, etc, etc. im expecting 140-150bhp maybe more from a 1.6 8v.

id rather have a sorted "girls car" than a piece of jap c**p, now kindly stop wasting space on my thread. thank you and jog on
