I sold the car in full working order with a power graph for 290hp!
It made that power or there abouts on @ least 3 differnt rolling roads!? & god knowws how many times @ each rolling road!
As far as I was concerned the car was that power! it dusted most things on the road with out any trouble! put down good times for the weight of the car & condtion of tyres & my abilities!

Im not slagging the car, ive looked at it many a time at the shows and have lots of pics of it but what im saying is it seems the further north you come the less power you get.
It will be interesting to see what power he gets with the new manifold on it

I suppose it's out of the question that AVA "saw" 200bhp to try and coax money out of the customer??In my experience of talking to them, unless they tuned it, the car is shit. I mean most tuners have their own views, though they can normally produce good results. These guys seem to think if they never tuned the car it is crap full stop.
ALL IMHO

Quick question:
If the car runs loads and loads of torque but not that high a bhp figure. Does that mean the super smooth baby arse like curve tails off massively once it gets up a few rpm?
What top speed did the car make?

It didnt liek to rev I will say that!
I never managed a top speed run as the day we were @ brunters the police were using the bottom 1/2 of the run way! so had to use the turn off 1/2 way down!
But it went of the clock!

I did once however take my 106 GTi there(around 1998/99), which made 125bhp, now everyone tells me that AVA only do wheels figures, but as the 106 GTi is only 120bhp as standard at the fly and mine had only an exhaust and filter(which I was told would suck in hot air and make the car run lean, and lose me power BTW
)....... where do I stand on power? I mean did it have 125bhp at wheels????
Or was it a "bullshit" fly figure????
I am not arguing anymore about it, this is just my opinion on them, feel free to have your own.

What do you mean when they were new, do they loose power as they get older
Think they might do actually!
not to sure but i believe they do need calibrating every so often! I may be wrong though! it wouldnt b the 1st time! & Im sure chip will be the 1st to crrect me if I am mistaken! or rainbum!
