Did a couple of laps there.

1:48.261 so far, might have another go later.

3.5 hours sleep last night, then a 13 hour shift today. so gave myself a night of fof DIY, hoping to have it finished by this weekend though.

No big turbo on the scooby either, new aftermarket ECU planned though, had it on the Rolling road at the weekend.

see here, vid included. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...190#post114190

nice video, love the sound it makes!
According to my old Autocar magazine the Uk Impreza P1 makes 277bhp@6500 and 253lb ft @4000 rpm.
I've often wondered, how do they calculate the transmission loss from rolling road tests? or do they just assume its a fixed percentage?

Mine's been at the Volvo dealer since yesterday, getting some problems with the DSA and a misfire/hesitation looked at. At the moment I have an enormously powerful 2005 S40 1.8 courtesy car with 125bhp, 122 lb/ft and probably around 1400kg... timed it from 60-100 today and it took 21 seconds (my T4 does it in 7 now so 3 times faster ) Nice looking car though...

1.47.102 on this weeks challenge

Timi Raikennen

Gerhard Brewster's time this week, 1'46:982, tip for this track dont always believe the gear it tells you to be in for the corners, the majority of the second gear corners you can take in third

Sorry took me this long to post....

Managed to sqeeze in a couple of dozen laps last night.

1:48.946 is the best I could manage.

Its one of those tracks that leaves little room for error, but when you string it all together, it feels great
