[skellem]

Nice one mate!

[Phantom]

I will have it finished soon, just doing a bit at a time, a bit like the car really

[splinter]

Looks very nice now youve got them up....

[cookie_8v]

looks fantastic, think that colour looks really nice on a cally really.

must say with that kit on reminds me of my old GSI 3000 24v......cant beat the vaux's for performance that was a hell of a car !!!

[Phantom]

thanks Cookie, believe it or not it's still a work in progress

[AdamsSE2]

hiya phantom has the viper kit made any improvements and does it make run ruff atall?thinking about getting one.cheers D8ENY

[Phantom]

well I think you get what you pay for and I would recommend the viper, before some of the other mods it went on a rolling road with just the viper and a de-cat pipe on and got 142bhp, I'm now running kent cams and a superchip and was registered at 186bhp on superchips own rolling road in Buckingham, when I find someone with a scanner I'm going to upload the graph to prove it

[Tattooman]

mate you now got between 163 and 186bhp just with superchip, viper and exhaust? might have to get mine rolling road tested then, mines a 95 ecotec, 65000 miles, with full stainless exhaust and de-cat pipe, viper and superchip.

[Tattooman]

didn't see the bit about Cams too, arse !!

[K5]

Very nice, recent pics i take it. 186!!!? Blimey!

[Phantom]

Yes recenlty taken at a lake nearby, I also have the graph from the RR, just need to find someone with a scanner to get it up on here
