Irony considering the state of the exterior haha :)

Whats the verdict mate?

Yeah you should see the back. Number plate is black lol, I work over at Redcar steel works and the roads on site are literally black and full of coal and coke dust.

From the little blast around the block I had it seems very good indeed. Much smoother, engine seems quieter and it picks up very well now. I'll have a better idea later when I go for a bigger run out.

Daaaaaaaaaayum son! Impressive numbers there! Good luck ever getting that down :)
Just out of curiosity, I see you have picked the bhp from run 1 and the torque from run 2 for your sig, but shouldnt you just add all 3 up and divide by 3 to get the average from all runs and use that figure?

That's probs the best idea man in that case 427.8 bhp and 444.3 ft lbs torque. Still not to shappy all the same :)

Savage either way mate, pure savage!

I would like to get some run figures from mine but it seems the local area of newcastle/gateshead has no decent RR facilities.
I called some place in Durham up a while ago and it all seemed a bit unprofessional down the phone, couldnt hear over the noise and he was just like, come down and if theres time ill try and get you on your on the rollers. Well, call me old fashioned but I was kinda hoping on booking a time to actually get on them

Has the 'it's fixed' service cost increased in the past year anybody know?

£150 interim service
259 full service

I dont remember paying this bloody much!

I paid something like £50 when I bought the car for a 2 year service plan. I had better read the blurb but im sure it should be a minor and major service, so im hopeful ive saved a bit there then!

Locky, where in the north east are you? Durham remaps are worth a ring as are evo tune - both in Durham. Big Fish tuning in Middlesbrough is also a very reputable tuning company with rollers.
