I always found the clio 182's and 172's normally achieved around 165-175bhp on a rolling road, havent seen many hit above as standard. Not sure about the 197 though.

wtf? surely loads of them are wrong?
Captin Rosco is200 145.6/134 +5bhp standard
Surely that should be 10 bhp down?
Brad(ccuk) Focus ST170 160/136 +10bhp standard
Surely that is technically 10 bhp down?

All of the cars that are down (bar Warrens sea-shanty-jamsport mapped 1.8) were running perfectly..

Fad repeating his XE Corsa ownership life cycle again?
Nope in comparison reasonable but on the other side of the scale servicing costs are much much more due to the miles I've put on it

ST170's are actually only 165ish standard..

Well Daimo the funny thing is it ran a 14.9 at the pod and is now on its 5th CS owner....so that aside I would say its pretty well built considering it hasnt been broken yet which is the norm for any XE corsas on here

This is true...
But you've missed the whole "blahh my XE is the fastest in the world and ran a 14.6/14.8 in totally standard form" banter the other day 
Sorry post de-rail Andy...
So Andy, when you getting the remap? See you could ahve incorporated that in your day trip?

like your allowed near a set of proper rollers in the first place, let alone down south
pub talk ftw
just saying a lot of the results seem a bit dodgy thats all. next time id try somewhere else more reputable.

I reckon it may be the Mk4 problem where you need to pull the TC/ESP fuse out. On the mk4's Regal/courteney pull out the TC fuses as the ESP notes the rear wheels not moving but the fronts doing silly speed and applies the brakes etc. If you look on Astra sport it's the first suggestion on standard cars that are RR'd.
However this said, Olly could be right as the boost solenoids work one minute but not the next. I've got rid of the rear solenoid for that reason, and run the VXR front one. When the rear was connected boost would vary from 15-22psi!

i reckon the issue with the m3 might be down to the flywheel sensor issue or similar that track and road had with an M5
lee knows the story

Every rolling road will be different, which is why you should stick to the same company if comparing mods on your own car. At the end of the day the only wheel way to get flywheel HP is by using an engine dyno.

They are good, great infact. However you have to be of a special breed to go there. Your not in that breed!
