Ok - back on topic - mine is a 56 plate so BLT engine

If i run mine, im expecting a loud pop and a bang!

Thought so Andy - in which case I think you might be being pessimistic. People have seen 150ish from them on a std map. I'm going to say high 170s and 298lb/ft for you :)

Not me, Gavins Suburu started making some knocking noises as we left the car park but were only audable at 3,000rpm and as we were only going slow it didn't happen much but we didn't even make it to the M62 before it got much worse, (I did wave to you as you drove past the Layby by Macro but you didn't see us) anyway, we decided to plod home but he didn't make it as the engine completly cut out on us.

We all saw it jump whilst on the RR after the 1st run on the run down and Al did come over and speak to Gavin, I thought he was talking to him about the jump apparently he only explained that the RR software couldn't read the speed of the rear wheels (due to the Diesels covering the lasers with soot :D:D ) but didn't say anything else, if I had of known nothing had been said I would have asked as running it another couple of time may have contributed to what had gone wrong. It might be that the guy driving just slipped his foot off the clutch but we don't know.

well I hope Gav's Scooby isn't FUBAR'd it came to a rather squelly then silent stop just before the ring road on the a64.:-(

Hopefully I will be going on the rr on the next time

what appeared to be the problem with said scoob?

Seem'd like a loud metal knocking noise over 2500-3000 revs sounded totally normal at tick over and keeping the revs low.

on good note I made slight gain on last time, still not any where near the numbers I would have liked.

166bhp and 292 torques
