You wasn't trying enough? His car was modded? He was the only one in the car? It was the stig?

Bhp per ton isn't everything Steve!


It's one factor of many.

I was giving it my all, even my exit speed was faster. Had a standard exhaust and didnt roar, so I assume it was standard, both one up. And it might of been the stig, I couldn't see his helmet though becasue he had tints.

Rear seats folded down on his?

Is your engine going to be any faster or not. I'm worried now.

Why wouldn't it be? it's had new pistons & piston rings. So it's runs better. And it's got a fully gas-flowed C16XE head, With new valve stem seals and the valves re-lapped.

It took me a little longer to overtake the C2 VTS. Before i had him in 3rd. Now it's at the end of 3rd into 4th and then 5th.

Removing a middlebox isn't going to make any difference Steve.

And making it fatter. It'll be quicker when i get a middle silencer on it. Give it some back preasure. It's like the exhaust has fallen off.

Well when I had it custom built the guys said it wont need a middlebox as it wont lose back pressure, and the backbox still keeps the back pressure.

theres not a 2.0 vvc.. theres a 2 litre TD and quite a few 2 litre turbo conversions around but none as standard... they made a 1.4 105 and 120 and a 1.8 120, 135? (in the tiptronic i think) and the 160.

I would also put money on the MG...
