    Carver got a reaction from Mike@TD.co.uk in We'd like your feedback if possible...   
    I’m about and hour so away so a little more is no issue. Leaving the car with you for the day and having lunch at Grill Singhs in Warrington is a nice day out so you moving somewhere less interesting to hang around in would make me think twice.
    If you’re moving Westward that would be nice and I’d be happy to help out as a delivery driver. 😀

    Carver got a reaction from Deacon in Flex A settings   
    Fitted Flex A’s a year or so ago and just out of interest I had them dyno’d. See curve below. From memory compression is below the horizontal axis. Referring to those three curves;
    Bottom : full Hard
    Middle : hard minus 10 clicks
    Top :Full soft
    So you have a non linear progression as per Deacons post above. This also bears out other posters ( and my own) experience that hard minus 10 is very bouncy because the damping at that setting is well on the way to full soft.
    Sorry for the crumby photo but hope it helps.

    Carver reacted to will300 in Big revs   
    Element Tuning, ran a boosted FA20 upto 9K for a race season, I think they rebuilt the engine a couple of times along the way. For an N/A build they believe the limit is 7800rpm.
    I assume the quote Church has copied is from one of their posts. 
    There is loads more info here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63723&highlight=element+tuning

    Carver got a reaction from Tristor in Big revs   
    For those more knowledgeable on these things, am I right that the valve gear on the 86 would preclude this kind of thing?
    Still an achievement in itself though.

    Lovely. Something special about an early morning solo run.
    I have the Yorkshire Dales up grade on mine. Must dust it off.
