Do you not remember trying to chase it all over the Yorkshire Dales in 2005?

managed to take the car out for a run on my usual roads. The car is deffo quicker, to the point where I'm entering corners quicker than usual. The main difference is in 3rd gear acceleration 8) Where as I uesd to be changing down to 2nd I can now hold 3rd & power through & on to the red line 8)

What a difference :)

Shame my rear callipers have now decided to bind on :( .. they must be scared of the extra power :lol:

198 bhp @ 7210 rpm
204Nm @ 5840 rpm
Mine gave:-

185 PS @ 6300 rpm (We stopped at this point, power still climbing)
214 Nm @ 5670 rpm

Not sure why we stopped at 6300 rpm, it certainly goes all the way to the redline on the road! Have to be quick with the shifting when it gets on cam :iconbiggrin:

Just collected my 2.0S from Bob - He kept it for a few days, worked his magic on the engine and I drove home today with 157hp. Cool ! 8)
