another great turn out.   14 cars listed and 5 turn up, surprised the RR people didnt tell us to fuck off. 
 
anyway- 
 
Adam_B, Corsa 2.0 16v : 167.4bhp @ 6195rpm. 152 lb ft @ 4399 rpm 
Richard Lee, Corsa 2.0 16v : 154bhp 
Ajones_17, Corsa Sport 1.6 16v : 111bhp i think? 
PaulW, Corsa GSi 1.6 16v : 117bhp i think? 
Hazey, Honda Civic 1.4 8v EJ9 : 104 bhp @ 6700  
 
I think the RR was overreading by a couple of bhp,  Hazey made 15bhp over standard with a ss exhaust   pics + vids in a bit   
 
my giraphes-

he has air filter and lexmaul exuahst with decat does he not, not bad results really! cant use it to compare to any other figures, all results will be different on every road, its the curves that you should look at how it delivers the power.

Theyre a waste of time because, RR's tend to over read and give very optimistic figures because they think thats what the owner wants to hear. 
 
Oh look optimistic figures qouted above. 
 
Ive been on two seperate rr's with 2 very differant cars. One result was very optimistic to say the least. The other result was 20bhp over what it should have been. i dont think crossing my fingers gained me the higher figure. 
 
Its how the car performs on the road, track or strip thats important bhp readouts means nothing. 
 
A dyno is the only way your going to get a proper read out.

Yes was good stuff, nice pics Adam and Paul. 
 
My readout did seem a bit high (15 bhp over standard with just a cat back s/s powerflow) but thinking about it my car was previously owned by a Honda Mechanic so that he might have done the messing about with the fuel injection the operator guy was talking about. 
 
Anyway heres my graphs

was very loud   
 
Mind in 10 seconds of me seeing his engine I solved his idling problem as the throttle was sticking & he didn't know why... 
 
there was a piece of hose stuck behind the throttle lever
