Title: Rolling Road Tune Post by: MartynT on 08 July, 2023, 03:37:07 PM Second post of the day.. ::)
I'm taking my 1600HF for a rolling road tune at Tanc Barratt this coming Tuesday & was wondering if I need to know anything or anyone can offer any guidance, info etc prior to me going? Thanks again for any advise. Regards, Martyn. Title: Re: Rolling Road Tune Post by: jus on 08 July, 2023, 06:45:19 PM Hi. I didn't know that Tanc had a road.
I took a couple of my cars (Fulvia S1 HF, 037, Land Rover 109, Triumph TR3a) to one close by (I think Tanc has used it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq7PIXQkb5s And this one was done in Holland while Vere had the other Fulvia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2uxPvSfTsA I would just say that your car needs to be in good running condition before you take it - fresh oil, inlet and exhaust all good with no leaks - that kind of thing. The tuner will either just be testing it and giving you results - or they may be trying to improve the air/fuel ratio, timing etc. depending on what they've been asked to do of course. Watching it is always an experience - it's easier on the nerves to watch someone else's car being worked on. Good luck.

It's apparently the one down the road. I built a 6.4L V8 for my AC Cobra replica & that went on a dyno rig - so yes, completely get what your saying about about the nerves!!

Obviously not thrashed as was nicely warm not hot and printout confirmed BHP was as per original.
