Hey all,

After much umming and arring I decided that I better get the tuning checked
on the car, it is drinking fuel like it is going out of fashion (done 1/2
tank in 30 miles... owch). The car is an L reg (94) Mayfair with a few
engine mods.

The setup as it is (when I bought it) HIF44 carb, with a mini spares inlet
manifold (I think), cat removed, boxter exhaust. Engine has been bored out
to what size I don't know (I can't remeber what the number was on the piston
when I changed the head gasket but something tells me it might have said +40
or something) and also it has a K+N Filter, the cone type.

Anyway a friend was looking at it today, basically it is very inefficent and
it runs a bit sluggish, took the carb to pieces to see what the needle was
to see if it can be changed. He took one look at the needle and said 'oops'
It is bent.... very slightly but there is a definant bend in it. So I need a
new needle, the current needle is an AAA, but my friend believes that it is
the wrong needle for the setup (apparantly it is very close to being stage 1
tuning kit).

So really given this info, if I changed the needle over, what one should it
go for.

Thanks in advance

Nick
