After an 8 hour cleaning session on Tuesday on my little Cup it was ready for its feature and looking very clean if I do say so myself.
Got off to a shaky start with a phone call from Peter (The Photographer from the Magazine) saying the rollers had broken down and they were trying to fix them, I decided to head down anyway in the hope that they would be fixed, got down there about 12:20 and no news so we (Me, and my mates Shaun and Mike) decided to find a pub for lunch, found a nice Pub in virgina Waters (Very Posh area) and had a nice pub lunch and a beer, thankfully by about 2pm the rollers were up and running.
Had a really good day out down at Surrey Rolling road and I think in the end we tested 6 Induction kits throughout the day with some interesting results (You will have to wait for the Mag to come out to know the specific test results and what kits were tested)
Over all I'm happy, My car made 164.4BHP on the standard Airbox, which Charlie The rolling road operator said was a good result for the 172, he was expecting about 160bhp which is normal.
Suffice to say with my nice new Induction kit Courtesy of Performance Tuner Magazine I have a couple more BHP under my bonnet now and a much better understanding of induction kits.
I didn't take any photos despite taking my camera but Peter has promised to send me some Hi Res photos once the feature has been put together There are some good ones of my car and some bad ones of me and Shaun and Mike LOL
Big thank you to Surrey Rolling Road, Top service from Charlie, And big thank you to Peter for the enjoyable day out
