RR readouts these days are more for "pub talk" than anything it seems, more so with more and more tuners upping t he readings so more people will go there just to get a print out of paper that says there car is super duper fast.
Aslong as you are happy with how your car runs and performs who gives a rats ass what a piece of paper says tbh?

Were there other cars run on the same day and what were their results? Could give an indication as to how accurate the figure is.

it may be correct whos to say it isnt at this stage? could have had something done in japan that gives it a few extra horses,its not as if its mega figures over standard so it could well be its true figures

good luck with the other rr day

martin, is yours still limited to 112? if not do you know how it was removed? As in a inline converter or ecu chip? If its a chip it likely will have bit more power.

i dont know what was going on with those rollers at times they appeared to be over reading then other cars pulled stock figures.... weird.

both 1.2 corsa c's with only minimal mods made over 90bhp!!

my stock 1.7 dti made 87bhp on its first run stock is meant to be 75.

and then the mini cooper works gp made bang on stock

and the nissan 350 z made stock power on both its runs.

who knows it will be interesting to see what the type r makes at falkland tho.

It sounded mental on the rollers and the kick from the v tec is impressive
