Well, I guess I'll start from the start, was nice to meet everyone again, a bit disappointed I was late and didn't see Chris's car on the rollers and didn't really get to see Wayne's either.

I was happy with my results aswell, 111.5 bhp @ 6139 rpm and 116.3 lb/ft @ 3849 rpm

The roads wherever we were were unreal, lots and lots of fun to drive on, thanks for that Chris! As I said to him, the tyre's are braver than me in some places, when I thought "That was too quick, silly me!" they more than made up for it, really impressed with the RE720s.

It was totally unexpected to see the Blue S2 aswell, never seen one in the flesh before.

Nice relaxing drive home aswell and great weather to top if off!

I hope to see pictures up soon aswell, I only got one's on my camera phone and the quality isn't the best.

Yea was alot of fun today....
Was a little disapionted with my results but im so happy that its still up there at
141.8 bhp @ 6531 rpm and 125lb/ft @ 5425 rpm worked out at 114.1 bhp at the wheels. It was 980mb air pressure last time it was 1010mb,this is why it was lower

Yea im happy ya liked the roads.... there is some proper Rallye raods out my way... even better at 3 in the morning.. but wont get into that..

Yea was a nice day that just seamed to a nice relaxing day out..... Must say it was nice to look in the mirror n see 3 clean rallyes behind...
i dono if i board any of ya's with giving ya's the hole tour of meath.... but there is no nicer place than ireland in the sun(thats what i keep saying cuz of TB)

Daren kinda confused about the 1.3 and 1.6 8valves

is it just the 1.3 that has the max power at 7200rpm

Yeah 1.3 is 7200, the 1.6 is more civilised though mine makes top power at 6600 rpm and top torque just over 4000rpm.

Well,
I must say that was a great days fun, some twisty Meath back roads, good weather and 4 :s2: rallyes. A good days fun all round.

I was happy with my results, 122.1 bhp @ 6249 rpm and 116.9 lb/ft @ 3986 rpm. from just a 4-2-1 manifold, Pugsport and air filter. Very happy with that.

Here's a few pictures of the cars on the RR.
