Hi all,

Just got my car back from Craig at AP Developments and I am well impressed, the guy is a legend! I had some Jenvey bodies fitted along with Catcams cams and KMS management. My car now makes 198.7BHP @ 6700rpm and sounds like an animal. Cant recommend him enough, eveything he has done is spot on.

He has spent so much time and effort on my car and it has been worth every penny I gave him. Despite all the problems he had including 2 bottom ends failing he still took days out of his holiday to sort me out. So I thought I would write him a shining recommendation, and advise everyone thinking about serious engine work, to send it his way as he will not disapoint.

In short, I would not hesitate to drive the 220 miles back to him for some more work, hopefully coming soon.

Cheers
Dan

Sounds a great few purchases, although that white one made 220bhp. whats the reason for so much less bhp?

stan
21-07-2007, 19:46
the white one has wilder cams, and quite a bit of headwork, they are a different spec engine basically...hence different power figures.

DanClio
23-08-2007, 18:07
:lol: Way too much but tbh if youre not driving it like you stole it, you will still get 30mpg round town. Its better on the motorway tho, got back from yours on half a tank (nearly 300 miles) 8)

Dan

stan
23-08-2007, 19:28
Yup, they will still return standard mpg if u take it easy on the motorway.

DanClio
23-08-2007, 20:10

Laine, your always crying :cry:


:lol:


With the Throttle Bodies on I managed 280miles on a full tank iirc (motorway driving), but hell you cannot keep off the throttle for more than 15minutes on the motorway without dropping into 4th and nailing it once that is the issue I had. Exceptional noise quality and on cam brutalness :lol:

stan
31-12-2007, 21:14
we can do some on the road tweaking to get a bit than that when cruising mate....IF you can control your right foot :P

Sounds fun, but we gotta turn on the fuel over run or something? :lol: and disable the soft limiter just have a harsh cut limiter I love the standard williams limiter, it is like hitting a brick wall that little bad boy :lol:
