im chuckling at my desk...

I am wondering why all Daryl's complimentary posts seem to be from other BRG owners..?
Hmmm maybe a different angle profile pic and a spell check before posting? ;)

Ooh you must be in my head posting from my subconscious this morning, can you buy forum troll services online? If not, I'm taking that idea to Dragon's Den

was 134 bhp and 198 ft/lbs torque.

Then found some SDi's and another Reidys Re-map and that took it to 159 bhp and 236 ft/lbs.

Had a forum meet the other day so decided to put it on for another run on a Hofmann Dynamometer and that was 157.9 bhp and 241 ft/lbs.

We found I had a small leak on No2 injector, but had to wait till I got home to bung in another copper sealing washer.

I had gone back to std injectors between the two runs, as I found a load of black carbon stuff and was a bit worried. But decided I'd just clean it up and hope for the best. Certainly makes a difference, even if we do leave a bit of smoke!!!!

:drive: :drive: :drive:

I love rolling roads.. If for nothing else other than to settle the 'it feels quick' comments

At the RR day Kev arranged there was a tatty looking Puma... It made about 380bhp! :omg:

People do tend to make wildly exaggerated claims concerning the BHP, torque 0-60 etc. In my head mine does 300bhp & 0-60 in 3 seconds, in reality is more like 162bhp & 0-60 in 7-8 seconds. The only way to settle these claims is a RR day, however those that make wild claims about BHP, 0-60, top end speed, or torque, never seem to turn up, therefore the only conclusion to be drawn is that these figures with no evidence to back them up have merely been fabricated by the individual..

If a jobs worth doing, it's worth overdoing
