I wouldn't expect the car to be perfect when you get it back from Z cars, it will be better but you will still need to do other stuff to get it how you want it. Chris will make sure his are handling much better as he wants to sell the kits!!! He's not gonna spend that much time on everyone that buys a kit or he would never get anything else done and I think he likes to keep all the best secrets for himself (don't blame him)!

If you have seen the new dvd Bill says that the car could do with a 'set-up'. Lol, I already had it setup at Z cars the week before!!!

You will get there eventually, just don't expect it to be a miracle cure when it comes back from Z cars..... These things take a lot of time and each car is different to the next one....

My temp sender is right on the bottom rad hose at the front of the car.

I think it's probably worth mentioning Dale that your car was set up on tyres that were past their best..... This may have had a lot to do with why yours wasn't quite there after the whole procedure..... :fear: Could be wrong though! :grin:

Also Dale could you give me a ring? I may need a favour...... :lol: :grin:

And if the weather reports are right then just in time for some sort of ice age!!!! :saywhat:

I dont think the tyres make a huge difference on the road as you are rarely testing them to the limit like you can on a race track....

Lol yeah was getting a bit of a worry about a trailer!

One thing I found with my scooby was that tyres can make a massive difference to the way a car handles so I'd be very surprised if they didn't make much difference!! :lol: :saywhat:

Yeh but the trait that we are talking about is what happens when you come off the power. The tyres are hardly doing any work at all at this point so it is more likely a fundamental setup problem.

See how you get on with the car when you get it back, i would be very interested to know what your conclusions are.
