Much closer to home and he's great guy who does good work.

I've spoken to him previously about work and he's always been good with advice but never available when I needed him, short notice on my part mostly.

So I've decided to let him look after both our Subarus this year.

I'm yet to hear a bad thing said about Ross. :)

Ross is legend and always has been. Very happy to help you out in any which way and quite reasonably priced. Say g'day to him from me when you see him Bruce.

Great stuff, Bruce!
Have you considered adjustable exhaust cam gears - since you're planning a comprehensive overhaul/refresh in the timing department?

Congrats Bruce. Hope to see your car in action soon enough (won't be there Friday)

And good info about the Delvac, I guess I'll change over to that next oil change too.

The problem I have though in no way limits top end power. It's only on low RPM where oil pressure can't be held to keep cams in sync.

And an experienced tuner on a dyno can diagnose it within 10 mins of setup and the first run.

You know what you have to do... :wink:

Thanks Kieran,

I didn't even bother asking if you were coming to the Kebab night as it means driving more than 5 mins from home. :lol:

No worries on the Delvac.

Thanks Jackson,

Yes it was well worth the effort to finally meet Mick and can proudly say I'm tuned by him.

If I ever do anything more I'll not bother wasting time and money elsewhere. Will speak to MSR first. :D

Yeah I've heard a lot of good reviews of Ross's work. And so close to home, seals the deal.

Will pop in next week and get some stuff scheduled.

Will say hi from you too.. :)
