Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) ARP4 handbrake mod.

No Problems since 2700 km...

I've had the modifications done to mine and have to say it remains pretty useless on even the slightest of gradients. Off for first service next week so I'll be interested to see if any further improvements can be made or to hear if MMC have any more cunning plans.

I do wonder what was said on the Morgan stand at TOTH regarding Mr11Mogs ARP4 sitting there waiting for a buyer , what figure are/were they asking , £60k or thereabouts ? Have they sorted the ecu problem and other glitches ?? Did anyone on here pretend to be a prospective buyer and ask ?

The modification has been done but the next day the right rear
wheel was very hot.I returned back to my dealer and they have released a little bit the handbrake cable and now it is ok.It is
braking but i need to pull hard on the hand brake.The car is very pleasant to drive .The best suspension i ever had on a morgan.Enough torque to drive gently in fourth at 2000 rnd/min or
in fifth on the highway at 130 km/h.Consumption is 8.5 litres/100 km on the highway at 130 km/h.Average is 10 litres on
small routes when i accelerate to 7000 tr/min occasionaly.Above 4500 tr/min the acceleration and the noise are incredible (for me).The direction is very direct and the tyres have the tendency to follow the irregularities of the route .This is my advice but i am not a race pilot .I would never sell the car back as said above .Maybee the roadster has more torque and is more powerfull but doesnt have the new suspension and all the options wich are already on the arp4 .
