Theres a rolling road in Plymouth?

Two in Plymouth, Alan Jeffery in Valley Road, and AP Motors in Newnham Ind Estate.

Both run by nuggets unfortunately.

According to Peugeot the lumps develop 118bhp... but most people get around 130 by getting rid of the cat and the rubbish air intake

Looking good mate, what do the 106 gtis weigh? Nice increase too from stock

They weigh around 900kg I think

My mate has a series 1 rallye VTS conversion which only made 3bhp less than mine and weighs 700kg fully stripped

The staff drive your car at this place, they take your keys and you stand next to the guy on the computer

I wish I could afford a set of superlight wheels, id be tempted to strip it out :cool:

Looking smart dude, glad to see you still have the original alloys on

Nice graph as well, that's some good power there!

The cars would all be in the same order. The main difference with those cars is they have listed the american versions, does the Audi TT really weigh 4075lbs.

If you want to convert between lbs and kilos use this:

http://www.manuelsweb.com/kg_lbs.htm

Very roughly you double kilos to get lbs, that site says 4075lbs is 1852kilos
