Be careful when you throw figures around here mate people get offended
I got told mine was 190.6bhp by the guy I bought it off but he didn't have proof and neither do I but as I can see it has a scorpion cat back a remap and had a very badly fitted k&n style cone that had holes in it ( which I changed to a cold air feed new one next to battery which I copied off pics I seen on here lol, would prefer the original air box with panel tbh)
I'm no expert on cars thou I have had a good few modified ones I can't see how that would make 19bhp on a n\a car but I only had my car a week and I'm on here soaking up like a sponge.

I have the same mods on mine more or less and a rolling road printout. Yet still got shot down by the bhp police lol
Think ill go and kick off to the rolling road owners for making me look an idiot and tell myself this car has 165 bhp because everyone on here says so

People will tell you all sorts of rubbish tbh mate. I'm in the process of selling a car and I 'could' tell them it's running xyz boost and been mapped by God who doesn't give receipts, cash only. But i won't because it hasn't.

On the flip side people buy stuff and have read somewhere it adds 10bhp so add that onto their 182 in this case. As long as the car drives well who cares. Nothing worse than rocking up to a rolling road day with your 1900000 Clio or what ever to find its less than you had been shouting about.

This isn't you as an example as such, I just kept hitting the keys lol

I'm no expert in rolling roads but take it to either efi, Surrey if you fancy a drive or Rs tunning, then if the results are the same I will be the first to retract any smart arse comments

Mines is only a 172 so your 10 up on me to start I'm not fussed long as its above 172 lol the scorpion sounds really good and ain't too loud so chuffed it has that, next local rolling road day near me I will go along and find out for sure and if its more it will be a nice bonus.

Don't take it to Surrey, as Charlie said, they "only make 160-170bhp".

Then mine ran 176bhp and he said it was a freak :(

On a standard ish car, not a great amount. So many variables mate, timming being one. And when I say timming not what time of day you go.
Timing as in timing belt my car has one of those and it better no brake lol I'll get a dyno done soon see where I'm at.

@RichieJA if the belts aren't done by a specialist then a lot of these cars have the timing out so are down on power. Worth checking who last did the belts and if it wasn't your local specialist having the timing checked.

All I have is a suspect looking receipt for it being done 500miles ago I don't think it's down on power but I will have it checked save me some worry and perhaps bigs bills can any garage check or does it need to be a special one inwas also going to pop off engine mount have a look a belt it should still be shiny after 500 miles mind you I put 1000 miles on it this week lol

I'd take it to your local specialist and get it checked, belt failure is an engine killer so they can check things have been changed at the same time as checking the timing.

No, don't look them up, you'll buy one, then you'll end up like me where your steering wheel & gearstick cost 1/3 of the car.
Then, your wife will find the spreadsheet of Clio costs and she won't be your friend, and she'll say things like "I think you've had your Christmas present"
Possibly.
Don't get me started, ive had the car a week and already spent £800 on it, I have a small shopping list and its not looking good for my finances ha, theres one for sale with everything already done for 2500. Tempted to just buy that

That's how my cars usually end the parts cost much more that the car, I only paid 800 for the car lol already got new headunit abs sensor rearview mirror 2 new conti sport tyres new induction kit washer pump and added new bulbs and rear shocks to my list which is getting long lol

Stop there, that's a good point to stop. When you get to over 5k, you know the cheap track car has gone slightly wrong :)

and then there's the exhaust manifold and then the throttle bodies and your 'budget' track toy isn't a budget toy anymore...

although will have nice power figure though:smile:
