Meh, must of been a shit map then. I suppose the SRI-T is 10bhp less as standard, but thats only the map, nothing physical.
Was thinking there might be something up with it power wise as it only made 205odd before being mapped, 15bhp from all the mods?
Anyways, in other news, doing the osf wheel bearing for the MOT, then its booked in on Friday. Weather is hampering efforts atm though

Wheel bearing done, first vauxhall ive ever worked on where there was no rusted to fuck bolts, all went well . Should pass the MOT, should really do a pre-mot on it but I cannot be fucked doing it in this cold weather, took enough motovation to do the bearing .

Cheers buddy
In other news, failed the MOT unfortuantly
Minor though, track rod end on the O/S which was an advisory on the last MOT, it needs doing now. Would of done it before hand but forgot about it!
Also need to do the other other front wheel bearing which is a bastard, the bearing is fine, but the sensor inside it is fucked, causes the ABS light to come on from time to time, and it had to come on this morning
So wheel bearing and track rod end, not the worst really . First car ive ever had that flew through the emissions with no problems at all, delighted

I got £4550 for my gsi with fsh and 69k. Lots of people prefer sri to gsi so should get some interest however mileage is very high, that would put me off.
