    do i need a new clutch??

    well service and maintained, i should be expecting 260-280 with my mods filters wouldn't lose 30-50 bhp. the guys at tcs seem to think it was slipping when on the rollers, just seems fine on the road thats all and its only done 33k so just wanted some more opinions/options as to what it could be

    Why does the VXR sound so angry and mk LCR so quiet and boring?

    that cobra exhaust sounds not alot different from my milltek with de cat, if anything not as loud. get a pop here and there with mine. my mates got a 340bhp focus st that sounds immense, so jealous of the noise it makes, but given up trying to replicate it

    do i need a new clutch??

    different rollers but all dyno dynamics, and the last two both showing similar results. a mapped lcr with exhaust etc should be making plenty more than 231bhp!

    do i need a new clutch??

    Couple years back my lcr made 250 on the rollers, recently been on two different rollers and only made 230bhp. only change between the two is a decat which should increase power, and certainly feels like it has! The chaps at tcs thought it maybe my clutch as on there comp the revs flew up...

    yellow fade and newly sprayed panels

    i did think that would be the case, just after a solution to hide the obvious difference as much as poss with out the cost of more spraying!

    dyno results (with graphs) poor results!!

    yeah its gonna go on the rollers first and get checked for boost leaks etc etc before any mapping starts, if all is well or if its something not to hard/expensive to fix, then they'll do a live custom map. and yeah "rk696" she only drinks v power. any one got any ideas of power i can/should...

    dyno results (with graphs) poor results!!

    got the car booked in in a month for a live custom map on the rollers to see if any probs and to get it running to its full potential. the chap i spoke to today, who has come highly reccomended and has proven results wasnt to impressed with what i told him. said it sounds like car wasnt...

    dyno results (with graphs) poor results!!

    also a few guys there said, and i thought the same, seemed like he was letting off early. and on the graph it shows the power does drop right off when the line is still on the up and it doesnt feel like that on the road. pulls all the way through all gears??

    dyno results (with graphs) poor results!!

    na no boost figures, gauge in the car shows holding at about 17-18psi

    dyno results (with graphs) poor results!!

    yeah that would be a 10bhp per year loss on a very well maintained car, maybe 2-3 per year not 10
