Classic Performance Tuning

Looking for a little extra power? We offer performance tuning for classic cars, optimizing carburetors, ignition systems, and fuel delivery to give your vehicle the edge while keeping its heritage intact.

Waterless Coolant Conversion

We offer Evans Waterless Coolant conversion to help protect and enhance the performance of your classic car's cooling system. Waterless coolant eliminates the risk of corrosion, prevents hot spots, and increases the boiling point to over 180°C, reducing the risk of overheating. Additionally, it requires no pressurization, which helps preserve the integrity of your classic car's cooling components. Let us upgrade your system for improved reliability and long-term performance.

Cooling System Upgrades

Overheating is a common issue with classic cars, but our cooling system upgrades can help keep your engine running at the perfect temperature. We offer radiator upgrades to improve cooling efficiency, installation of modern electric fans for better airflow, and flushing the entire cooling system to remove rust, debris, and blockages. Additionally, we clean out block channels to restore proper coolant flow and ensure every part of your system is performing as it should. Let us help you enjoy longer drives without the worry of overheating.

Modern EFI Conversions

Upgrade your classic car with a modern Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system for improved reliability, performance, and fuel efficiency. Our EFI conversions replace outdated carburetors with advanced systems that provide smoother starts, precise fuel delivery, and adaptability to modern fuel. Perfect for classic cars used for regular driving or long journeys, EFI ensures your vehicle runs more efficiently without compromising its charm or character.

Carburetor Conversions

Transform your classic car’s performance with a Weber or Dellorto carburetor conversion. These high-performance carburetors deliver improved throttle response, better fuel atomization, and increased power. Whether you're upgrading from a stock carb or replacing a worn-out unit, we ensure every conversion is precisely tuned for optimal performance, giving your engine the punch and reliability it deserves.

Where to Start

We like to start with our basic engine checkover service which costs £95 and then the next course of action is entirly up to you. We'll determine a basic plan and you can take the vehicle away and rebook the vehicle or leave it with us and we'll get to work tweaking or fixing whatever is agreed.
Natrually we get lots of questions about what it costs. Well if its a simple screw that needs adjusting then it can be done in the £95 basic engine checkover. But lets say for example you need rejetting the carbs, it will need a tuning session.
Depending on the condition of the vehicle, natrually things change. We might find other issues which need to be addressed. If you're happy to leave the car with us we can crack on and resolve them for you, or if you're keen to do it yourself we'd be happy to help point you in the right direction.

Dyno Tuning Vintage and Classic Cars

We have a wealth of experience in tuning up vintage and classic cars using our rolling road.
When you tune any car you need to be able to simulate real world conditions. Its easy to over advance the ignition timing then cause yourself more problems with misfiring and backfiring
Being able to monitor carb performance using our gas analyiser whilst simulating driving up a hill means you won't end up driving up a hill worried about making it to the top!
The lower the performance the engine, the more important it is to get the most from the engine. When you have 50HP you don't want to be missing 20HP becuase of poor tuning.

Above all to get the most from your classic car you want it tuned correctly, knowing you are getting not just great performance but knowing you aren't damaging the engine in the process.
