LIMAVADY CUSTOM CRUISERS AVAIL OF SPECIALISED DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANCE

Limavady Custom Cruisers were recently hosted by AI Autosport at their specialist workshops in Randalstown. 

Members had the opportunity to learn more about the new project cars, the Nissan Skyline R33 and the Ford ST220 as owner Jonny Armstrong demonstrated the use of their four wheel drive Dastek Rolling Road and its diagnostic facilities.

In preparation the cars had the petrol drained, new hi-octane fuel inserted and engines left to run warm.  The diagnostic outcomes were worth waiting for, with the Nissan Skyline running an impressive 231 bhp @6510 rpm and the Ford ST220 running at 224 bph @ 6546 rpm.  Over supper, Ai Autosport staff talked with members on how the information obtained could be used to improve the cars performance. 

William Semple, Chair, thanked Jonny Armstong, and AI Autosport staff for hosting the club and giving up their time, expertise and equipment. He said: “Sincere thanks is expressed to Ai Autoparts for sourcing parts urgently from London to enable the club’s visit and we look forward to availing of Ai's invitation to return after the car modification project is complete to use the Rolling Road again.” 

Linda McKee, DPP Manager continued, "As we enter road safety week and focus on 'Too Young To Die' the club continues to play its part by practically demonstrating how to modify a car safely. We will endeavor to improve peoples’ attitudes to road use and ultimately improve driving skills. Further information can be obtained from the club’s website: facebook.com/limavadycustomcruisers.”
