Permalink  

HA ha yes boys and girls i had my BMW 520i rolling roaded today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes i realise its not a big power car, but its good to know no matter how powerfull or UN-powerfull the case may be a car is............ as it shows the health of your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So i had it done just to see how well she was............... well and how my induction kit worked!!!!!!


Well the standard power for the car is 150bhp (apparently) 130lbft touque?? (not much really for the size of the car)


But BEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it made 153.8bhp and 136lbft touque!!!!!!! well chuffed!!!!! shows my car is a nice healthy thing even at 79k miles and shitty sainsburys petrol!!!!!!!!


The cossie will be rolling roaded HOPEFULLY next week as i have only 98 miles left running in!!!!! before the boost is turned up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OF COURSE A BIG THANKYOU !!


for LPS @ Martlesham (steve/neil) for rolling the BMW and and BUILDING THE COSWORTH!!!!!


so yes 2+2=4 which meand LPS has a rolling road which is the nearest for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles..... you get the point!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait until the other Humber is finished, it's a 1953 Humber Hawk and Sniper's got big plans for it, he may put a V8 or 2 litre Pinto engine in it, because the orginal one w-o-u-l-d---b-e---r-a-t-h-e-r---s-l-o-w-!-!  It still won't be a fast car, but it will be a hot rod of sorts that's as rare as I don't think what.  There are only 6 of that type of Hawk left in the UK.


More news to follow...............................

I had no idea there is a rolling road in Martlesham.  Where abouts is it, and can they tune a car to get the best out of it?  I'm talking real cars here, with carbs and stuff, not programmable 'puter chips!

i want to have Tim Westwoods babies, I want to have Tim Westwoods babies.


He's a cool dude.


By the way VeeMan, that's a little conservative isn't, I thought your's would do more than that with it's Vulcan engine you put in, the one you got from Ebay!!

Vulcan engine? Knowing the Vee man that could be a Star Trek engine or an RAF one.
