No ditch it wasn't. But tell your friend to go to Thorney for a stage 2, not regal....
Also, to reduce costs, look at the magnex exhaust over the Miltex (factory approved) as it costs less and has thus far been quoted at more power. On the road, its probably nothing.
£500 for the map, £600+ odd for the CAT back exhaust (better if you can bin the pre cat, cat...  ) and say hello to 270+bhp and a car that'll leave a standard VXR by a good 20 car lengths down a 1km (Revitt Straight, Snetterton).....
Meant to also improve the throttle jerkyness in 1st and 2nd as well and really come into its own at 90+mph...

I keep telling the fella its a brand new car and its fast enough as it is, but he wants to be leaving the Coupe behind!!!
Will remind him only to use V-power fuel too, as he probably loosing some here...

tbh, we found ours gave better milage on v-power, but working out cost/milage, well we stick unleaded in still
V fuel gave me around 5mph at snetterton more on the straights. That was in the morning when my previous corner exit speed was slower, and my braking to the next corner was earlier!!!! So could have been morelike 7-8mph lost in 1km!!!!! Thats quite a bit.
UL juice your looking at about 210-220bhp max and huuuuugggge flat spots up the rev range..
PS, also tell him that he can have it mapped, then if he comes to sell it, they will remove the map for free so can be sold as a standard car...
Even leaving the std exhaust on and remapping it should see 260 on the rollers. But because the cars run so damn hot, you need a good RR with appropriate fans to blow into the engine.

Yet you're sticking to unleaded over V Power? Or do you mean you will use other SUL?

Donna uses it for work fella, you really need to see the roads down here in the SE to understand HOW bad the traffic really is  Nose to tail, every day, going to work and home. For about 13+ miles....
She doesn't usually get above 4th gear so works out more cost efficient to go with UL (about 7-8p less per litre down this way, but were only talking 10-20 miles more).

Suppose. So do you put the good stuff in where you can actually use the car then?
