Offline | Thanks to 1320autos I visited 1320 today to have a compression / leakdown test done, and to have there front superflex rear wishbone suspension bushes fitted. A big thank you to Chris for doing the work ![]() With the new bushes fitted, the steering now feels sharper and more direct . The steering wheel no longer feels like it's being tugged in my hands when i go over any road imperfections . Under braking the car stays in a straight line , where before it felt like it was wandering from side to side . The DSC light hasn't come on at all under hard acceleration either, despite the roads being damp . I'm really really pleased with the result . Everyone with a MCS should have these bushes fitted, whether it's has been modified or not.The compression / leakdown test came back with a great result too. The compression in the cylinders was 150psi in all of them . The leakdown result was,No 1. 7% No 2. 4% No 3. 7% No 4. 3% I then had a power run on the rollers, and the car produced a peak flywheel figure of 190.3bhp @ 7271rpm, and peak torque of 150.3 lbft @ 5876rpm. The drive train loss was 29.9bhp. I'm very pleased with that .So thanks to everyone at 1320 auto's. I'm very happy with the results , and the workmanship . I shall be paying further visits in the future . I had some nice cups of tea as well ![]() . |
