Default Does API have.........

Hello Peeps, was wondering if API had a Rolling Road set up?

Want someone to fit me a Front Mount and Headers on a 1998 Type r and then take it on the rollers, plus want a full diagnostic

Or can someone recommend someone in the Oxfordshire are who can do this for me?

unfortunatly not, although they use someone quite close i believe, best bet is to speak to them.

Are you having the frontmount fitted at API

Lucky git, like i say though speak to him before deciding on a mod as you might find your money is spent on better things that will give you a better gain.

Good luck

I like it when you talk dirty We'd like to have your money as soon as possible. Match made in heaven by the sound of things.

Call me for a talk about this, we can do whatever you want. We do not have our own rolling road, but have a local arrangement with a company that does and we usually set the cars up on the road and then knock the last rough bits off on a set of rollers if the customer so requests.

'Molds ' a local guy did a similar thing, got a rollers figure before we started [ 193 point something ] and ended up with 241 point something. VERY happy man now.

regards David APi

Nothing at the moment mate.

I'm popping down tommorow so API can have a good look at my motor and then tell me what they think is best

Am a bit worried about the miles on the car but i'm sure David can recommend me some safe mods

I want more Torque , and speed..and i want my morgage paid

David, i have just confermed with the Boss (Wife), that tommorow is ok, so rather than call i will be at yours for about 9-9.30am

I just cant think why you would have had boost problems at exactly the same time


Will the gearstick move about feeely or is it stuck in one position?


May be something simple like a linkage

Sorry Cookstar..were getting our wires crossed.

I did NOT boost the car at all from the moment i started the car as it was cold and only drove it to my Local petrol station where the damn thing refused to go in gear.

I mentioned the boosting as some people boost there cars from the moment go
