RV8 Tuners in Sussex/Surrey/Hampshire?

[BudgieV8]

Hi all,
Just put another RV8 into the Capri as the last one lunched its crank.
Cant seem to get the thing running properly & I've ran out of suggestions/ideas - mostly taken from this forum.

Does anyone know of anywhere who specialise in RV8's in Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire?
I'm in Chichester & I'm at a point where I'd rather give the car to someone who can set it up properly before I lose interest & sell it.
Cheers
Paul

There's a rolling road tuning company in Crawley called Austec. A friend went there with his V8 Morgan but could be expensive. HTH.

I used this company about 2 years back , it cost just over £100 to be put on the rolling road and be tuned. Have to say I was less than impressed, made no difference at all, however I think they let a newbie loose on my car as he didn't seem to have a clue what he was doing.
There was some very expensive kit sitting around and I had been recommended this garage but I won't use them again.
Still haven't found anyone in the Surrey area to tune my car, it's passed two MOT emmission tests since then but I still feel it needs a bit of fine tunning, so will be intrested if anybody does have any other garages they can recommend

Personally if it's the carb that needs setting up I'd buy an Innovate LC1 or something similar and set the carb up myself using the real road as a rolling road.

Feeling it could be improved doesn't mean it can be by 'tuning'. Is it a standard unit or modified?

I've not used them for ages, but Southern Carburettors in Morden were half decent once.

I didn't realise they were still around, used them years and years ago may give them a look. It's a slightly modified unit, engine uprated with Edelbrock Carbs.
