Now upto 212.7bhp, 198.0lb.ft.. 
Suffering from a blowing exhaust at the downpipes and overheating problem at the minute too, so could be more..
Off to the bodyshop tomorrow for some long awaited changes to the styling and then hopefully get the overheating problem fixed sometime next week all in time to be at PVS..

Was Motoscope in Northallerton.. They just recently had a Dastek RR installed so it was a good comparrison from my last RR run that i had up at Dastek itself in Scotland last November..
Was putting out 209bhp and 189lb.ft back then, but have since rebuilt the heads and put in 2 new exhaust cams and it hit pretty much exactly the figure i was expecting..
Car doesn't look so good from the front, it STILL has a DIY sprayed front bumper..  But that's getting sprayed tomorrow and the rest of the kit is coming off because its been looking a bit shabby for a long time now..
The exhausts measure in at 4.5" and 113dB..

It's a good job it wasn't on motoscope's old rollers, it could have been anywhere from 110bhp to 400

A few of the lads that were there had been previously on their old rollers and said they were Magical..
Mav won't be creaming his pants, he has seen the car from other angles and it's been looking rather rough for a long time because for the first 2 years of my ownership i've had the worst run of luck anyone could possibly have with a car.. 
Although car is now sitting in a bodyshop getting tidied up and some big styling changes.. I just hope i'm doing the right thing because i think it could be very much love it or hate it kind of thing.. 
'The Speeding Incident' resulted in me receiving 6 points, £250 fine and £100 costs. I appealed against the decision to the Royal Courts of Justice who dismissed my case and landed me with a further £500 costs.. Ended up costing me about £2500 in total as well as many many hours of work..

Car needed a huge exhaust to suit the styling.. Would look silly with a little Irmscher 2" pipe sticking through that rear bumper..
But with the new styling changes, the exhaust may need to be replaced in the near future..

Was a VVOC group event.. Think we had 15 runners but there were a few more there that weren't running..
Some very impressive results from others too including a couple of 3.0 conversions that were running 230bhp+ with torque to match and a load of 2.5's well over the 200bhp mark..
Total Vauxhall were trying to send someone down to publish the event, but due to it being on the same day as Knockhill, they couldnt get anyone down for us..
