I can't tell you how much I'm loving these SUs. Sooo much better than the Weber. I can't believe there would be that much difference, but the power gain has been noticeable. I thought that the power gain and better performance would be the only real gain with the swap, but I was wrong. Shifting and acceleration have improved--the throttle is nice and tight and in the perfect place to shift faster and smoother. Thank you so much for your fine work. I intend to recommend you to anyone needing SU carb work.

Rhys, Got the carbs, they look and drive fantastic. The needles you used in these made a very noticeable difference in how the engine drives. Lots and lots of power! :) I had to put slack in the throttle linkage to stop accidentally spinning the tires on my gravel driveway! Thank you again.

Hey Rhys, It's Alex calling to let you know that I finally got the SU's working. The car is running AWESOME thanks to those SU's, and they look so good. I can't wait until I finish this car, now that it runs like it does. Oh man I'll tell you, my little Volvo accelerates faster, is more responsive, just overall more happy. Thanks again,

The carbs came today. HOLY COW! They look great! Not much gives me goose bumps at my age, but these did.

Rhys, The carbs just arrived and they're absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for your superb efforts. I did a couple laps around the block to warm things up and the only fine-tuning required was tweaking the mixture less than a quarter of a turn. For a B18 with 142,000 miles it runs like a new car.

Got the carbs last week. They are in great shape and now the engine runs great!

Just a short note to let you know I finally got around to starting my overhauled B18 which is using the renewed carbs I got from you. They are excellent in every way, and the engine runs rock solid. My local Volvo mechanic says to tell you it is a rare treat these days to tweak a Volvo carb and actually have it respond back in the way intended. A credit to you....

I opened up the package, and I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I was with the job you did on the carbs!!

The carbs arrived last week and I can't believe that those are my greasy old carbs. They look great.
