Had my Nova rolling roaded today..

[Nobby]

Just thought i would share this with yow lot! Im not really a fan of "my cars xxxbhp" talk as i know my car does what its built for lol. Anyway a mate had set up a rolling road centre and had an open day today and me and a few other mates went down and had a lot of attention on the old girl which pleased me :d

She made -

199Bhp @ Flywheel
163Bhp @ Wheels @ 5970rpm
183lbft Torque @ 4910rpm

Its a 100% stock engine no pas aircon etc, xe flywheel,magnex exhaust,pipercross filter.
I think the figures are give or take accurate what you lot reckon?

I reckon you need the power figures in your sig along with the performance ones lol


Thats not bad that at all, my old 2.5 V6 vectra made 200.5 @ the fly when it went on minisport's rollers a few years back at a north west rolling road meet, so id say thats pretty accurate in fairness :thumb:

Good figurers I'd be happy with that.

A good service on a v6 makes all the difference spuders, why the feck Vauxhall said the leads were for life is beyond me

[Nobby]

Ye mines had coilpack, leads, plugs, fuel filter and oil change x2 in last 12 months

not at all, im not interested in the slightest what the final number was. But he asked if it sounded right and it would be easier to tell if you saw a graph.

[meritlover]

printers **** lol......
