Well she has just turned 150k this morning no mods as such but over the last 6 months she has had a new boost pressure ic sensor, plugs an oil change, a misfire that meant 1 coil pack went immediatly followed by 2 more so changed them all as they were probably original. Last month was MOT time so I had to get the cat on, the rear ns wheel bearing needed doing and the front pads and disc were getting close to worn out so they were changed for Ds performance pads and Zimmerman discs. Next job is fresh brake fluid as that looks old and I am sure I cooked it at Cadwell lol, will do the gearbox oil as have noticed a slight faint whine at 60 mph in 6th and the power steering needs a top up. Rear bushes will need doing soon too.
I'm going to try and it the 200 k in her and should do in the next 3 to 3.5 years I think she is on the original clutch still to (known weak point on tunned St) However I am always gentle on the launch as I don't need anymore bills too soon!

Which iPhone app is that Lance ? do you find it accurate ?

**lance** · Friday 26th April 2013, 12:54

Dyno chart and engine link for clearing fault codes, I think there fairly accurate not sure entirely but it got 299.6 bhp a similar bhp curve on Hlm rollers I did the run in 3 rd gear rather than 4 th because i would certainly need a big private road! I think the funny business in torque could be down to dstc cutting back the power either way the app is showing over 500 nm peak spikes on the road which is more than on the rollers but comparable with similarly modified st,s and s40,v50s either way she feels nice and quick 4 th gear is awesome 40-3 figure speeds is stupid!

Well not done anymore since last week it started running lumpy so I treated her to a mini service and they found a air leak on the plastic inlet manifold so I have replaced it with a nice shinny black metal one which apparently adds an extra 5-15 bhp overall and an extra 25 bhp in the midrange, well I thought is that my wheels spinning in 3rd and 4th as it sometimes does in the wet cold weather no it's my clutch but hey 178k isn't bad out of a stock clutch ( I heard a rumour the earlier clutches were stronger than newer ones) so I will at some point get the stronger RS one fitted and maybe I might bring her out for a drag race this season :-)
