Car Set Up in the South

[Ian XII COB]

Hi All,

After much searching I have finally found a good place to get your Cob set up and running. I took mine to GRL Motors and had a complete rolling road tune and it is now running better then it ever has before. The proprietor of GRL Motors, Ian Smith, is a wizard at setting up Holley's and American engines. They also do full geometry set ups for road and track.

I can really recommend using their services;

GRL Motors Ltd
Unit 4, Monument Way East,
Woking,
Surrey,
GU21 5LY

Tel: 01483 725759

Well found sir

When I dropped my car in week before last he had two other Cobras in for set up as well as an Ultima, a real Ferrari, a hot rod that looked more like a jukebox. He also prepares and runs a couple of racing TVR,s and looks after a couple of real AC Cobs.

Well run and very clean set up, more like you associate with a proper motorsport company.

PS. I have no connection with this outfit other then being a very satisfied customer.

Ian,
Do they have any restrictions in terms of what they can handle on the rolling road....I was caught out last year when I booked a dyno that maxed out at 320bhp.
Also what did they charge for a rolling road session?

Kevin,

They are limited to 300 bhp for power brake tests, although experience tells me that such tests are not very comparable between one rolling road to another. So have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

This limit does not prevent the engine being set up correctly through it's whole power range, it merely prevents peak power testing for what it is worth.
