[Mark]

Looking for a good rolling road as a final check for my R5 Gordini NA, don't hear much about Prima racing these days, can anyone recommend a good RR for Weber carbs, nr Derby/Leek areas?
These are the two I am considering..............

After visiting Peter Burgess today, I cannot recommend him highly enough, genuine old skool engineer with a passion for his job, thanks for the previous review.

Result, no change top end, potential to explore higher rev range but do not intend to rev the engine to death, with engine mods by the previous owner and adjustment today saw a step increase in the low range, overall better than the std 93hp - 85lb/ft, with 120hp at the engine, only 16hp loss, with 104hp at the wheels and max torque at 105ft/Ibs. Not bad for a R5 NA engine and acar that weighs 845kg.............
