Now that the Vectra has gone my plans for my new aquisition are moving foward, . Some of you will know this car, as DAVEU was the first owner latterly my son in law Tom (rsorion).

She has been garaged for some time now but I am giving her a new lease of life and will be treating her to some tlc down at Shark Performance to get her back to the glory days she deserves.

Ever since I sold Qs old skud I have been desperate to get back into a high powered octy so when Tom offered her to me well it was a no brainer.

I hope to get near the 400bhp mark in the not too distant future, so will be posting on here a bit more

Hi Steve

You might be right there, think there was a typo on spec sheet i did not write it. When i took the picks looked 75mm not 100mm.

She is going down to Shark Performance for some tweaking of the map and rolling road time not been to these guys before but had some good reports

Big thanks to Ben and the team down at Shark Performance for looking after my baby

Picked her up last night she was still on the rollers at 830pm, Ben making sure she was running 100% got to appreciate the attention to detail Ben and his guys give would not hesitate to recommend them.

She made 320bhp and over 400nm of torque on the Bapro Rolling Road will post up the graphs when I get a minute. Running fantastic but will bite your head off if you let her . I am over the moon with the results and it was well worth waiting for.

Once again cheers to everyone down at Shark will not be letting anybody else having a spanner on her.

Steve

Here is the figures and readout from the rolling road session down at Shark Performance

Nice - I think there is room for more too. I think Dave ran it around 350bhp but that was some time ago.

Cheers, Ben did say she was running a bit rich but I am going to see how the next few days go and Ben will give her another tweek
