For some reason my original thread seems to have gone with the move from the old forum... However... Not only did the car feel a lot more open responsive after the work by Mike. But i finally got a chance to go for a rolling road. I havent even serviced the car between before and after or changed tyres, so literally nothing has changed apart from the exhaust. Before with a standard manifold, down pipe with pre car removed and the milltek backbox i was hitting 249.1 (which in it's self is a pretty good result for a standard stage 2), with the new exhaust i have got a result from courtenay of 262.8 bhp! i personally think that moving from that system to a 2.5 is a really good result and courtenay said that that was certainly a bit beyond the upper range of what they would expect of that upgrade alone. As another benefit the exhaust is also running quieter (probably not flaming as much). I havent got the two graphs to hand, but I will try and scan them in sto show a before/after result. But it is still supercharged smooooooth Big thumbs up to AtomX for putting me in cotact with him

Get with the programme gentlemen. On the first page of each forum/room/whatever you want to call them, in the blue bar just above the first thread, there are five options for how to display/sort the content in that particular forum. If you click on Custom, it pops up a little preferences box. Go to the Timeframe option and select Show All from the dropdown. Also make sure you click in the Remember Filters checkbox and then click on Update Filter. Now everything that's ever been posted in that forum will be viewable whenever you visit it. You need to do the same for process for every one of the individual forums that you want to have everything available.

running the standard pulley that comes with the stage 2 conversion. And yep, internals are due for the change. rods and pistons and head and cams (maybe gearbox)... 1.5 dollar to the pound, I am just waiting for it to get a bit better.


and thanks for the thread view advice... seems that I can view further back in all sections of the forum other than this one.
