    Oh dear I have just one thing to add; a dyno isn't real world testing - it may be worth remembering that!

    Having driven Daves car too , all I can say is its awsome whatever the output!
    Like already said its how the car drives ultimatly not the figure you get on the dyno, even though Daves managed 220 whp it also managed 160 mph.
    How many nearley 10 year old family estates with 150 k on the clock can u say that about?

    Sorry!! I think I was on something last night. I am not having a go at Andrew - I am hoping he can come out now!

    I think my aim was to encourage rather than rant but I am not sure that it turned out that way

    Boooring. Take time out to talk about cars for a bit, & all my ham fisted typing is gone in one swift click of the mouse.

    Please forgive me, I'm too used to Evo forum where a topic is allowed to run slightly off-track, & opinions can be aired, without being wiped from the face of the interweb forever.

    I.ve resisted saying it, & it's a fantastic place for how to info etc - don't get me wrong, but this place does fall into the 'one make clique' from time -to -time.

    Cheers,

    Gwaredd.

    Start a new thread if you are that passionate about it!

    As for the "one make clique" YES! Thats why we are Volvot5.co.uk not randomcars.co.uk!

    If you want to talk about something specific then start a new thread on it dont hijack something else.

    Thanks

    No hijacking as well? FFS, it's like being back at MSN chat rooms when I was 16.

    BTW, a Clique is a bad thing.

    Whats with the bad attitude! You dont have to stay here you know?

    BTW - a clique is a small exclusive group so whats wrong with that? We are a small exclusive group compared to some websites so i am not sure what your point is?

    See, you're kinda going off topic now, your thread will be deleted & the whole debate will die on it's arse just when it was getting interesting.

    See other thread.

    Cheers,

    Great pics Dave

    I didn't realise until yesterday, but not only did VT tighten Nookie's turbo nuts on the day, but I think they also replaced the dead headlight bulb (unless it mysteriously started working on its own again)? Thanks guys!

    Chaps - have we had the figures emailed over yet - this seems to have dropped down a crack somewhere.
