Apart from the fact you dont get it checked at a popular RR down south, what else do they argue about?

Back when we had a few RR's a year in the SE region our only measurement of the RR being realistic was the consistant results on the 20XE Corsas

- Torque of the devil and Perfect Touch were kicking out near on book figures for the std 20XE corsas we had but when we went to some shed in essex (name escapes me) the results were rather higher then usual.

Abit of a joke really though isnt it Nic, theres not alot of high spec C20LET's knocking about which are hitting the 400-500bhp area so what do they know

if you havent built it, or never have built anything. you know best willay.

everyone with a 1.2 knows more about tuning than anyone that has anything else.

no willay, as i said earlier in the post if you read it, this comes from reading other stuff on other sites about random peoples rolling road results from random cars i dont know of or know the people. it just angered me a lot. sorry about that.

Doesn't say what car or anything. If it's a 1.2 8v Corsa it's impressive. If it's a top fuel dragster it's shit.

Why the dip though? Wheelspin?

its my car ash from last year. dip is the way the rollers are set up to stop it spinning. it it senses the torque is rising too quickly, it pauses and holds the car for a second or so then carries on with the run. if graph was rpm vs bhp you wouldnt see it.
