Thank you for your answers. The engine has been mapped, the map need to be refined for very low throttle opening, when engine is hot. It has a tendency to kangarooing a bit when those condition are there. I was thinking the adaptive mapping would be the most cost effective to do it otherwise the car fly and the engine very tracktable Jack

Hi A quick show of hand for those who uses the adaptive mapping on the Emerald K3. What are the for and against arguments? Jack

Could you let me know what was the cost of the full flat floor setup? My car would be in need of one of them soon Cheers Jack

Hi Mankee I don't relay know if I need them. I'm trying to sort out my ride height and I though they may help or not. I am still investigating If they are collecting dust in your garage I may take them of you if my investigation show I need them. Cheers Jack

drivability is exelent, i.e. I can cuising in 5th down to 30mph press the accelerator and off we go. I had a longer first fitted which help town driving, 2nd and 3rd are the playing gears You are welcom to take it for a spin next time we meet Jack

I am please to announce that my engine which started life producing only 145bhp in 1996 and a defined forgotten amount of torque is now producing 182.2bhp @ 7014 at 144.8lbf @ 6044rpm. I have achieved my objective of 100bhp per ltr 😬 The next objectif is to sort the suspensions. How does it compared to your engine Dave Jack

Cheers for the adices chaps However I'm not going to see Dave. I am going to a company Btec Racing who maps the car modified and in some case made by a company local to me Frontline Development. The specilality of Frontline is to fit K series of all flavour (even supercharged) into MGhere Well the only issue I have is that I don't have a video camera. ☹️ JAck

Hi I am having my engine mapped tomorrow. It's a rebuilt VVC DVA special on RB run by an Emerald. The engine has done max 100miles. I have changed oil, oil filter, check coolant, tyre pressure set at 18psi, there is no oil leak or coolant leak and a tank full (54ltr ) of fuel. I took the car out and apart from the speedo which stopped working and dodgy handbrakes everything is ok. Is there anything else I need to check before going? Cheers Jack
-
Cheers Jack

stop guessing and try adjusting it up I agree with that, it is difficult to find the hours to do it, with two young ones. Jack
-
Front brakes works very well. I never use the handbrakes, it is only tested at MOT. Maybe it is corroded in the OFF position! What are they from the rear calliper? Jack
-
do you know the rating of the spring? Jack
-
Hi I'm looking for a pair of those. If there are gathering dust in your garage, please let me know Jack Edited by - JACKB_MS on 3 Aug 2011 11:57:20

-
Hello Are your spring still available? Jack
-
Not that close but... Halls garage in Sutton Courtenay. HE does all the local 7s and 21 Could be a nice drive from Newbury Jack
-
Hi The test I made was with the handbarke on. *thumbup*Cheers for that I'll try it at the weekend Jack
-
Hi I was checking my rear brakes at the weekend. The driver side is not working, i.e I can turn the wheel by hand, the near side one is better but not 100%. There is plenty of meat left on the pad. The little lever which is connected to the cable moves when the handbrake leaver is used. Any ideas what might be causing the issue? Is there a guide on how to clean/ reapir the calipers? Cheer Jack

Thank you jack
