I ve just done serach on mytyres and you can get the 185/60-13's for £5 less than the 175's. Are the 175's better because they fit easyer or is there something else?

I ve had two blue temp senders in now so I am happy its not that. I am not sure about the potnetiometer thingy, as the idle is good, apart from it cutting out completely every now and again. The only similer problem I ve talked to any one about was a 20l granada with MPI, it would hesiatate if kept ...

Okay- My GT runs like s==t, It seems to be when the temp get to around 70 that it starts cutting out. This noramlly happen on low throttle and some times idle.

Hardhitter, you suggested a de-wedging of the GT TB, whats you opinion of this mod?

Its just I have a pop riviter at the mo a, and for free it sounds like a nice touch.


The Gt does respond well to most tuning but as stated, what is to much to pay................................................
