just got my car back from being rolling road tuned and set up as i thought it was overfueling, found out the head needs reconditioning sooner rather than later as its using horrendous amounts of oil, also the piston rings may be sh*gged so basically its engine rebuild time. also found out its putting out 89bhp at the wheels, which upset me to say the least
damn car

Cam timing is spot on?? Although it would have to be mega out to affect power that much.
Rebuild time = upgrade time

somewhere about that, i wasnt really paying attention to how much, just topping up as and when it needed it.
and yes, i feel it might be slight upgrade time (money dependant - maybe pocketed pistons, cams and pulleys) unsure what else
