[ather`s]

you can just hear the mk2 vultures typing there requirments on there laptops/puters in antisipation of this car going BANG on the rollers lol!!

seriously though will be very interested to see what it does make on the rollers.

 

[M1KEH]

It's only just run in at 130'000. You should make a strong 155 in my eyes.

if it goes bang on the rollers,i'll get first dibs as i'll be there in fact i may take my socket set...

Surely a spark plug socket is something every home has 4 or 5 of? Or is it just mine?

I had my 16V on the rollers and got 117 so i changed the plugs, 11mm leads, drilled air box and a pipercross filter then cleaned the oil thing at the front and put some redex through and a week later it made 157 with 100k on the clock.

 

[F2 Ed]

mines an 8v and rollered 132 (at amd) book is 115 and she was running like a bag of spanners at the time due to manky TB.i've never been that convinced by the reading but daren't risk running her again although it seems 8v always make past book figures as the numbers were played down when they released the valver to make that look better.....

My 8v rolled 130 with filter & exhaust

 

[Brummy]

Ed, is that Dans old white one ?

 

[F2 Ed]

[Big-Pete]
