When I thrash mines it tends to get trashed! Maybe I should sign up to some polishing instead... or NOT! What are you expecting power-wise from your car Colin? Edited April 21, 2008 by TheWelsho
colin_ross Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Hard to say John, so much of the spec has changed since the last time I rolling road'd it. One more bhp than Higgy wouldn't be too bad tho Seems like an age since we had a rolling road day, might have to get Spooks out of retirement andsee if he can pull some strings.
johnnyr6 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Colins car will be running at least 100 brake horse powers when finished..... Johnny
