Hey guys 
Last weekend, I was asked by Chris from new magazine coming out called Totally Modified to take some pics of their rolling road session at Hi-Tech Performance in Cradley Heath. Subsequently, I booked my Stagea to have a run as well since I wanted to make sure everthing's sweet in the engine/map/fuelling department so armed with all my photography kit I met the editor, Chris and many other modified car owners at Hi-Tech on a very cold Sunday morning lol
Well I'm pleased to say she ran 270 bhp @ wheels (with same torque figure - max 5252 rpm) so really chuffed and main relief is that the graphs were smooth and power/torque was as expected so a good base to work from (and mod haha!!) Must admit having spoke to other owners since the RR session that the figures could be a tad 'on the higher side'... in the sense that I'm still running stock 0.7 bar boost and AFAIK only catback 2.5" exhaust, decat, FMIC and air filter has been added to the car. So if general figures are applied I'd be looking at around 330 bhp @ fly before RWD transmission loss... mmm.. not convinced Stagea really can have this amount of power running stock boost?!
Anyways, got my first chance to shoot Jammy's S14a when we initially arrived in the morning...
This is a pic of Paul's drifty E30...
And Stagea parked next to Anglia which believe it or not has Nissan 300ZX 3.0 litre dropped into it... WTF??!! haha awesome She ran 207 bhp in the end and I was told owner was really chuffed. It's the NA block but he's added Porsche FMIC and aftermarket single turbo... true sleeper and Totally Modified will be doing a feature shoot on her soon
For me, I've got a big photoshoot for the mag in 2 weeks time so watch this space :wave:
Cheers,
James
