Cheers from me and the guys at south coast performance guys
Excellent day and hope everyone enjoyed themselves
26 cars on the rollers in the end

the 4.0 v8 with nos we believe had a faulty fuel pump or problem with the chip ?
Seemed to safety cut off itself at 4500rpm
He will run another day though

Was a good day, thanks for organising it Steve.

I was very pleased with my result - I was expecting to be down on power, certainly not up

steve, any news on how the poxhall lot did compared to us deviants (volvo and derv seat included?). some of them sounded very nice indeed (for a vauxhall

)

They did quite well mate , Mine was the only 2.5 to break 200bhp on the day

Considering there 192 standard and most were 198-199 with modifications i was over the moon
Mine originally run 210.8 and is going on again in a few weeks to try and get a lil higher then the for sale sign will come out

Everyone had a cracking day and think virtually everyone was happy with there results and have had good feedback as well , Few got less than what they were hoping for but you cant please everyone and theres the usual debate that the rollers are out bollox as a few results have upset a few people saying there reading a lil high ?
Dont see how when a few of the cars that turned up and ran , Ran the same as another rolling road they all use so that was that out the window , Rollers were bang on the money in my eyes .
Maybe doing another in the new year as a few mentioned they wish they could have come along .
So welcome over again mate even if its to watch and drink coffee

Also got me thinking about a t5r as a daily work smoker as that was quite impressive
