rollin road RESULT!!!!!!!!

Yoink

wicked thanks alot



opinions please, dont know much about these

im must take my car to this garage!
 200bhp here we come!!!!

meaning what precisely?

doesnt mean anything directly.
 
 it just seems quite high for a standard 1.8 with 60 quids worth of tinkering. im sure im not the only person to think that aswell
 what have you done to her? whats your secret?

2nd hand kn ?20
audi tb ?20
audi coil ?1
audi air feed x2 ?1
tintop ex manifold ?10

slightly advanced timing
clean injectors, good mixture
and all well maintained

thats it

the r/r is used bt the corado forum regularly so i dont doubt its accuracy

I mean this in the nicest possible way but I just don't see 120+ bhp from those mods, the Audi TB won't do anything unless you have a flowed inlet, the K&N probably wont do much unless you were forceing the air in.

When I had mine done I had new injector and already had K&N, superprint manifold and powerflow system, polished inlet plenum, Audi TB all set up correctly and saw nothing like that.

But.. If it is accurate then fair play but if it were me I'd get a RR done somewhere else to check the figures

Nice one

so ive been on here sayin i think my cars quick for nearly 2 yrs, ive done loads of research and done all the mods meself and due to everyones cyinicism go and get it on a r road and now it seems im wrong about it bein quick, AND the rolling road isnt accurate

well i know we live in the land of the pointy heads and are all carrot munchers but this garages reputation is highly respected, the r/r is maintained by TAT.
they only work on vws and have built some lush cars.
as mentioned b4 theyve just fitted a 7k turbo to an r32 and i cant see anyone spending that amount of money in a garage without an accurate r/r

why do you think i took it there?

I'm not exactly doubting the RR itself, but IF those power figures are true then there's more to your engine than you thought..

There is a lot of variables on the day for a RR, how many times was it run? when I took my car to TSR they ran it 3 times in each spec to get an accurate reading even then I don't trust it too much.

I always thought power runs were done in 3rd or 4th gear for maximum power, especially on the MK1's not 5th gear? maybe wrong though..

 dude, take a chill pill.
 no one is saying you are lying etc..
 perhaps your car isnt standard and you dont know it? ie the previous owner ported/polished etc?

 just a thought

im the third owner.
last one had it for 14 yrs and is a consultant aneasthatist.
ive got every reciept for all the work done on it

it was run 5 times first was 120 then we richened it up cos i had leaned it out for last weeks mot
then got 122
then adjusted the timing and got 123.8

he ran it in 5th cos im runnin a 9a gbox

And by the way Dave did you tell the guys that while I was stood watching your car reach its BRILLIANT 123.8 bhp that the blokie at the garage also said that its the fastest 8 valve they have had in…


It was great to be there today and watch what they did with the RR, it was a great result for you mate and I really enjoyed myself aswell.

WELL DONE MATE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
