Mark, what are you driving? Wondering how much competition there'll be for the title of 'top GR Manual' :wink:

Anybody who can beat my GPX manual will have my respect - except the Golf obviously. It still has to go round corners. :lol:

Just kidding Shane - I had a Mark 3 GTI for a year (company car) so I suppose I can't really talk.

Kace is the man you're gonna have to beat, he came out top last time (can't remember exact figures).

by **Dave** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:47 am

Just remember it's not all bhp, torque as well! (you'd never know i will have a turbo running would you :wink:

)

i think Kace came out at either 195 or 197.

I was there the last time and got 240bhp on the rollers....
tempted to go again but have done nothing to the car since. Still, will check the diary....

by **Dave** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:52 am

flywheel wasn't it? (well it had to be) haven't got the last read out to hand!

Well I've no doubt an S2000 will be considerably more powerful - This is one car that is on my shopping list.

You get both flywheel and at the wheels figures in the report, ATW figures are determined using dyno correction factors.

you can never get a moderator when you want one, i see Myfeckin FTO went back on there and posted a reply to the thread i was talking about, it'll probably be "cleaned" :wink:

back to business, Myfeckin FTO, is your mate with the paj evo still coming along?

Yip - Jeep arrives Monday - then has to clear customs - wants to do some bits and bobs with it and then its ready for road. He was paying €850 for insurance on his Scooby and hes just got a quote of €580 fully comp for a 3.5l V6 Mivec Paj EVO (32 with full NCB).

I didn't get to see the cleaned replies to that thread - I'm not really sure about some of the contributors to that forum TBH.

No, he just deleted them, i also got a snotty PM saying that's what a blah blah forum is, thought that was a bit much to be honest.

So what kind of power is the paj evo pumping out?[/quote]

270 bhp @ 5500 rpm, mind you, its a heavy lump @ 1825kg

Well - It is a Jeep so 1825kg is actually not that bad.
Power to weight figures should still make it pretty fast - by my dubious calculations it has about 148BHP per Ton as opposed to around 167 on a GPX - but it also has a hell of a lot more torque. I really won't know what the handling/performance is like untill I drive it. We'll try a standing start against the FTO and see how it does.
