Totally agree Tiff..... And I'm loving it every minute.

Taking it out at every opportunity. Going for a drive to Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit today, haven't a clue if there's anything on there, but the drive there will be fun.....

This One.......
http://www.reworx.com/about.php

New boys (Relatively Speaking) to Portsmouth, but having spoken to them they really seem to know there stuff. Admittedly very much into Mazda's, but a power run is a power run, not letting them touch anything that Karl's done.

Any guestimates on Torque and Bhp gladly accepted....

Well i hope you get your 400+ bhp and over 400lbft. Will be well

Have you fitted your new cooler, rad etc ?

Sounds like a good place to take your car

I hope both you and them are impressed.

Good luck

Yep, full Pro Alloy Rad, Intercooler, Pre Cooler and fans all fitted. Haven't really had chance to see what ACT she's doing at high boost, but plan a track day soon.

Just want to get the rollers done, for peace of mind and own inquisitiveness.

Im doing a track evening at Brands Hatch in a few weeks

It will be my first one.

Still will be good to see what it will do at the Pod with all that torque, should be well into the 12s if you can get it off the line.

well on rr, you can get wheel spin and trackin issue's, as i believe hub dyno's dont,

which should mean thier more accurate.
