ah the words of "shame yours aint a valver" are now biting you on the arse eh pete?
not a chance the graph is so smooth so it makes 100ftlbs minimum all the way through which is lush right up to 7500RPM
but ill just stick another abf lump in it with half the mileage, as mines sprung a little oil leak!
ah you can't blame us 8valvers taking advantage when we can yours isn't leaking just marking its territory
tis nice to actually see another mk2 out to play in this neck of the woods,they all seem to be north of watford!

Shouldn't be rev'n to 7500rpm either! The limiter is at 6800rpm!
I had to have it raised from 6800 to 7400 when I had the cams fitted!
Now it's 8400rpm lmao.... Got to love bodies!

Kezz.. 16 (supposedly) 150 out of the box.. where-As 8's are (supposedly) 115.. its nice to have it this close between a 16 and some of our 8's

quiet ealily more made or less run into the ground as from what i can make out the 16v are more of a pain in the ass than the 8vs

it's not that bad...do you think twice about red-lining it in 2nd/3rd gear on road?
power runs on dyno's are usually done in 4th with a 5sp box, sometimes 3rd

I couldnt watch when mine was up at P Torque.. i walked away and listened for the bang/silence..
i was more than happy with the figures considering its only really had the oil changed and the Mk3 backbox.. if it gets throuh MOT next month relatively cheaply, it'll get treated to a full service and new brakes etc then it can wear its new booties with a smile
and I might even get it RR'd again just to see if theres any difference

that would be me
thats what mine needs now a full service,
Would you say the same about the 1.4 engine??
Depends on the life its lived. But generally it's starting to age then.
so my 210k C5 is dieing/dead then...knew i should have put it on the rollers at P-Torque to see how many ponies left in it
