Ali Green Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Has anyone tried to find somewhere in the South East (other than Caterham) for correctly tuning the 8 valve VX unit and/or balancing Weber carbs? Some preliminary early-year runs have given some cause for concern over the low-20's mpg average and increasingly excessive flames exiting the exhaust! 😬. I entrusted the task to the factory at the last service (Spring '02) but would ideally like it done properly this time! TIA, RJW (Chas Wintor) 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 GRL in Woking. They did mine and made it run infinitely better than how Caterham let it out of their factory. http://www.grlmotors.co.uk/ /Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheds Moderator Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Fit a 2L 16V from a crasher - 165BHP, injection, 35mpg, cheap, tough. As in boxing a good big 'un beats a good little 'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
