are motorscope in northallerton any good??

[tom_spanner]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

well go to motorscope mate they get plenty of my pals in for bits for all types of cars n buggys

[tom_spanner]

ok mate cheers, just gotta finish it off.

cheers tom

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]

hi richard,
do you mean faceby just off the a19 just in the north york moors national park???
yeah thats easy for me to get to, the guys number would be mint or just buisness name and ill use yellow pages to find it.

i guess now ive got no excuse, the pile of parts is growing so now im gonna have to get it sorted,

[richardt1986]

just dug my receipt out. ron harper 01642 706046. unit 1 whorl hill business centre faceby ts9 7bz. dont know if hes still there because mine was about2-3 years ago, and at the time he wasnt in the yellow pages. but i cant stress enough how good this guy was. i also like the way in the address it says business centre haha youll see what i mean when you get there. rich

[tom_spanner]

cheers rich, ill have to go over just to see what you mean if nothing else!!! im gonna have to pull my finger out now, i cant wait to hear the sound of those carbs sucking......

[richardt1986]

yeah they sound amazing! when i say youll know what i mean when you get there, the address says business centre when really its a shady country rd with a unit on it!

[tom_spanner]

luckly those are often the best places to go, an old boy with pride and passion for his work, not some profit making cowboy outfit! cheers for the number mate

iv been to motorscope for cam timing on teh rollers before. didnt take too long and did a good job. they seem to do more rally car work. had a focus a 2 mk2 escort rally cars in when i was there.

[BOYA]

there is a place in durham (lanchester) that deals in morgans, old and new. they made a excellent job on my carbs. i will hunt there number out 4 ya if ya want. or hunt it up in the yellow pages its called mcdonald racing.

[tom_spanner]

cheers boya, ill look in yellow pages. how much did they charge?

[ye man]

i used motoscope about a year ago got an induction kit and exhaust for my civic type r brilliant service took my car to 230 bhp if i were u i would buy a decent car before u go on a rolling road corsas are for girls mate

[alanhughes87]

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
