I went to the mig east mids v west mids rolling road day at Northampton Motorsport and put my £490 Ebay special on the rollers.

She faired quite well. The only mods at the moment were already on the car, K&N panel filter and sebring exhaust sysetm.

The results:

Power at the fly 159.2 bhp
Power at the wheels 124.9 bhp
Torque 146.1 lb ft

Can't argue with that :D

Sounds good on the rollers:) as Allen said the power figures are respectible.
My first port of call now would be to give the car a service; Oil, sparks, leads, Dizzy cap, rotor arm and get the injectors cleaned. That way any further hikes in power will be on a solid foundation;)

I did a service to it the day before the rolling road, it made it a big difference, a lot smoother :)

Pulled 120mph in 4th before the limiter :D

Just been to get the tracking done and two new tyres. I may start stripping it out tomorrow.

Its being stripped and being used as a track day car. I have a company car for day to day use, so it can be unpractical :)
