Carb tuning and suspension pump up around southern England

Post by Mentalmetty »

Evening all,

I've been searching around looking for a competent garage that can give my 1.1 carb gta a tune up and regas the suspension.
Carb wise, the car starts, runs and drives ok, but pulling away it bogs down, like it's running rich. It's had a full service- oil, filter, fuel filter, plugs, leads, air filter and it still the same. I've asked around some local garages in my area (Horsham, west sussex, near Gatwick Airport) but no one seems to still have the facility to do old school carb tuning, I've spoken to a company that specialises in rolling road tuning race cars like Westfields running Ford pinto engines and webbers. They were happy to do the job but at £150 for the first hour and then a further £75 per hour afterwards, it seems extortionate! So any suggestions of where can do the job I'd appreciate.
Also I'm needing to get the suspension reset as its sunk on the o/s/r and o/s/f.
Cheers for help in advance.
Kind regards
Martin
