Re: Mk6 in Jersey

How do you run the tablet. Do you use tasker to open the apps up on power up and close it on power down.?
Do you have a constant power feed from the battery to keep it alive?
When I tried a similar thing it found the screen a little difficult to see so I reverted back to normal

Re: Determining Actual WOT of TB's and its application.

Charlie,
Looks like a good method although I certainly would not advance the ignition at high speed until it detonates as this may cause damage. Depending on the engine you may go over the point of maximum torque anyway.

Re: Fuel Injection build.

Do you use a damper between the manifold and the pressure sensor? When I was naturally aspirated I did some data logging and found that without any form of plenum the pressure spikes were huge. Having too large a plenum then made the response laggy. I have always used one of those large plastic fuel...

I remember seeing your car in the 80s in the kitcar magazines
Do you have any more photos of the car? It would be very interesting to see them

Re: Mk8 A series

It has been a while since I have done any work on the car due to restoration of a Riley RM

Just had the seats re-upholstered as they were looking a bit tired.
Great service from the manufacturers:
