2 questions for all of you slating the LAD conversion...
Have you driven it and have you read the CCC report on it ?
Im currently tring to choose between a Honda CTR and a Clio Cup with the LAD conversion as a replacement for my wifes 106 Rallye and having driven both the LAD Clio is definately much faster than a standard Civic. Unlike some I dont expect you to take my word for it - go and drive it !
You havent answered the question.
Could it be that LAD "have a reputation that no company would want" because guys that havent been near the LAD demo car come on here and post things like "but a standard cup is even faster than a lad200 one" when experienced motoring journalists such as CCC write the opposite.
Ive taken the time to go and drive the LAD car and formed my own opinions, why not do the same.
erm why has the gear ratios been changed they dont advertise it !!! i think its like jag and the e-type the car will do 155 or what ever it was but they had to change parts to get it to do it and those bits were not on the road cars
the thing is also lad will not show us a rr graph of their cars so what are they trying to hide !!! there have been many cases of saxos and 106s coming back with less power and torque than they went in with or like with the 160 conversions coming out with much less than that

numerous things have been posted about LAD, mainly bad. As someone has said though theres a distinct lack of people who have actually driven it!
LAd have been flooded with emails from people from here all asking for a RR demo but so far have been ignored.
Lets also remember LAD have been around for Donkeys years and despite what goes round on internet forums they are well thought off in motorsport circles.
Just a shame they cant prove the 200BHP theory, if they could theyd be raking it in, seriously.
Look, Ive driven one of their saxos and at the time it didnt feel as fast as my standard 106gti.
Yes you could argue that I havent driven their clio, but lets face it, if you were out to rip people off then you would at least make your demo car seem like its got the right bhp in which case driving their demo would be pointless anyway!
Like other people have said where are the rr figures?
Me? Im waiting to see what roamer comes up with.

Well thats the problem.
If you get a before & after power run done at an independant rolling road and LAD will guarantee you a genuine 200bhp then go for it, but if not...
Having being a past Peugeot owner and LAD have been dealing with Pugs for years I have seen nothing but bad reports of these lot and personally I wouldnt take my cars there.
With a Viper/BMC, an R-Sport ECU and a decent exhaust youre nearly up to 200bhp anyway for a lot less cash!
Yeah, but TimO is gonna reach a limit very soon.... and thats the injector limit, 52bhp per injector to be exact..... and when youre meant (For safetys sake) to run at 80% duty the current injectors are way over limit already, so you start getting into the area of possibly running lean if there is any injector issues at all
