Yeah, im one of the admin on streetrace.co.uk
Ive had the car 5 years+ now. Cant wait till ive got her re-built so i can get back to shows and the track!
196bhp tho? And you used a Superchip? Wouldn't a remap be better and some head work done?
What cage have you got?
The shoot was some years ago now and the figures from engine work were from a very optomistic rolling road i used to use. Some of the engine mods were carried out by the previous owner. During the re-build im currently undergoing i will be stripping engine and re-building how i want it, so when i say this is done and that is done i know its 100% correct!
Since then ive fitted eaton supercharger running just 3psi (still in development of conversion) and recorded a more realistic 193bhp on a more accurate rolling road!
Tidy! I was thinking how you could get 196bhp from that spec.... the limiter will only be at 6400rpm and to get anything over 180bhp the limiter needs to be higher.
A mate of mine (bezzagti) on here had 260 cams and a biltz chip, had it rolling roaded 177bhp but when you look at the graph the power was still raising before it hit the limiter. If it was lifted a bit more it would have made a lot more power.
Where and what roll cage have you got?
The limiter is lifted, somewhere between 7.3 & 7.5k. Mine has ottinger cams which are lumpy as hell, crawing in traffic is a nightmare!!!!
Roll cage is a bolt in 6-point, i dont know the make. I am selling soon, keep an eye on for sale area, im looking for about £150 for it. Im going for full weld in multi-point approved cage now.
Do you know if it had any head work done on it? Because you wouldn't get that sort of power without it. Wouldn't have said a superchip would also lift the limiter to that rev range.
Let me know on the cage and if you got some pics lets see them lol

Apparently no head work, going by what the last owner said. The spec was bit vauge, thats why im looking forward to re-build so i know what i say then is 100% factual. I was a bit 'impressionable' with figures few years back and now have a better understanding of rolling roads and how the place i had it tested 1st time was a TAD optomistic with people!
In 5 years ive only hit limmiter 3 or 4 times, it is around 7.5K. I might be restricting it back down tho when charger propperly set up to save some strain on engine.
I have pics of cage here fitted (hope the link isn't minded by admin on here)
I will post for sale thread soon anyway:

I have better pics somewhere. Best part is low door bars, makes access easy!
i dont know mate. i brought it 2nd hand in the 1st place. no stickers or anything anywhere on it so haven't got a clue who made it
Nice to see you finally found this site then
Anyone drawn your attention to this thread?

Might interest you, slightly
Ex SEAT UK Rockingham cage, made by custom cages - about 12 made in a batch & sold off at £50ea when I picked some up
Is it an rockingham one? Because if you have a look at the pic of jason's the front half of the cage is different. I would post a pic but I'm in work at the mo!
Here's a pic of jason's i think.... the rockingham cage is different on the front half when it comes down.
Stev4232 Do you find that your cage gets in the way? eg.. mirrors or your legs
