MITSUBISHI SERVICES         Rolling Road Tuning   We have some of the most up to date and sophisticated equipment in the country, which we can use for setting up your car. We have two rolling roads. One 2 wheel drive set up and one 4 wheel drive. This enables us to carry out detailed testing and development work as well as accurate and repeatable performance testing and diagnostic tuning of all cars.   Rolling road tuning is becoming more and more of a compulsory tool for tuning and diagnostic companies with vehicle emissions and electronics playing a greater role in the complex performance of your car than ever before.   Unfortunately very few workshops have the luxury of this equipment due to the high costs involved both in buying and staffing a good dynamometer set up.   We use our rolling roads for many different tests. It can be used for the following:   Speedometer calibration Diagnostic fault finding 4 wheel drive transmission operation testing Gearbox efficiency testing Engine power testing Gearing calibration and calculations On board temperature testing Engine and transmission "running in" Pre-race shakedown testing   Principally what it allows us to do is to run the car in real life conditions using the full transmission, fuel, ignition, exhaust and control systems within our workshops. This means that whatever the problems or tests required we can carry them out in controlled and repeatable conditions.   Whether this is running at high speed to find a fault or carrying out a quick power test. We save all records on computer so future testing can be compared with current data and provide a printout of the results. Rolling road power test: £45.00 (£52.88). Rolling road diagnostic tuning: £125.00 (£146.88).   We carry out a separate diary for booking rolling road tuning so if you want to make an appointment to see us please telephone 01895 464646. Chris Todd, Mervyn Carroll or Ian Ball will be pleased to help you.           Vehicle Maintenance   We are fully equipped to carry out all types of servicing and maintenance for your Evo from the 1st service check over to major services and cam belt changes. Schedules and prices for servicing to follow soon.         Vehicle Inspection   Buying a new car?   A new car to you but is it a car with history or something the previous owner wants to hide?   We will carry out a detailed inspection of your prospective new purchase in our workshops. You can be present (as can the seller if required) to see us look over every detail of your new car. We will show you any accident repair, possible future problem, signs of good or poor maintenance and give you an overall opinion of the car. We will give you any indication we can if we feel the recorded mileage of the car does not tally with the general condition.   The other good reason for vehicle inspection is for the import cars. Some of these cars have had extensive modifications in Japan and often you cannot be sure of what you are buying until you own the car. This is not always bad news because often the cars are well modified in Japan and then de-tuned for sale. Sometimes we can easily tune these cars just by setting up correctly parts which have been fitted in Japan.   It is always useful to know what you have bought and what is fitted. Even for piece of mind you should know if your car has no catalytic converter or has metal suspension joints which might not pass an MOT.   We have vast experience of Japanese tuning practices and many people bring their used cars to us as soon as they arrive from Japan for a thorough check over.   We also carry out a lot of 1st service and check over tests for the new import cars. This is a useful check if you are a long way from the supplier or (as in most cases) they do not really know the cars just sell them. We can carry out 1st service and spanner check.         Track Preparation   We can look after your car and prepare it for the rigors of track day use. See our Advice section for more details.         Steering Geometry Setting   We have a huge knowledge of suspension and geometry. We have the 4 wheel alignment equipment which is necessary to set the Evo up correctly.   We also supply the excellent range of POWERFLEX uprated bushes, which will control suspension geometry movement without allowing increased noise or vibration.   The Evo has a lot of geometry adjustment available and this means that it is often wrong. It also means we can set up geometry for different handling characteristics.   Remember the best geometry set up will also give the best tyre wear.
