We have capped it just shy of 300bhp (around 290bhp) and 340lbft of torque with a progressive linear throttle map...
At Brunters during testing it managed a 0-60 in 4.9sec, 0-100 in 12.6sec and 1/4 mile in 13.6sec.
We havent set it up for sprint work at all but instead circuit......will be in over winter undergoing a few more tweeks here and there and a few more kilos to come out!

I can certainly believe those figures, as you know I have always been one to stand up for what the car can do in real terms, all be it I had only the power but not the handling mods that you do. Glad to see a decent example maintaining it's originality.Thanks guys
the plan had always been to remain subtle by keeping an oe look to it all and many state it could have come from the factory looking as such so the execution was right, we have no plans with anymore power so will keep the boost down instead looking at an additional 40kg to come out and attempt to get it just below 1200kg without having to go the bare shell look which I am not after!

Well ditched another 16kg and upgraded a few area but still never finished........
Polycarb rear window - looks oem to many so thats a good start...
Replaced the AP 4 pots (343x28mm 2 piece disc) with Alcon advantage extreme 6 pot monobloc calipers & 365x32mm floating 2 piece disc...
Excess weight in the doors removed (speakers, insulation and bars)...
Passanger seat runners removed and seat bolted to floor...
Forge recirc valve and actuator fitted...
Now looking at ats competition alloys to replace the TD pro race and the KW struts/dampers will be getting an overhall during the winter months and uprated to clubsport spec internals.
