Well as some of you know I picked the new car up yesterday from Birmingham...

after a long drive home I was decided I wanted to get it on the rollers...

SO.... got up this morning phoned jim at Star and had the car on the rollers for half 10 this morning... and the results

227BHP

notice the high loss in power between the wheels and the engine... think a slip diff maybe needed lol

ohhh yeah forgot to say... to those who don't know this is Matt - FabiaTDI's old car... I bought it and fair to say i am verry pleased with my purchase

Adrian

Nice one - and a decent torque figure to boot

Yes, I'm sure you must be very pleased with the purchase

I was amazed it took someone that long to buy it!

Good to finally see the results of all my hard work.

Would have been nice to see how the power was held after 4200rpm as it does pull well past that point.

I suppose the dip at around 3750rpm is wheels slipping on the rollers?

Glad you like the car Adrian

thats a cracking result mate and star are very good guys up there in fife.

OOOooo thats nice

Bet the drive home was fun

Cant wait to get my hybrid on

I was chuffed when I found out what mine was putting, saved me a bit of cash, could not beleive it.

I was at a RR day at Star on Sunday. Had the BMW on (215bhp, 309lb ft) but wish I had gone and fetched the wifes Fabia and bunged that on too.

Would have been interesting to see what it's standard figures are.
