Never heard a bad word about the guy (which is pretty rare).

Thanks guys.
Now for something completely different.
This car is 150 bhp /236 lbs.ft standard Vectra 1.9 diesel. Looks absolutely standard from the outside.

This car has been progressively modified throughout the time my Wife has owned it. When I first visited RS Tuning in Leeds for a rolling road day 5 February 2011 we produced 216 bhp and power output has risen progressively as various different modifications were investigated, culminating in the current 280 bhp/430 odd ft.lbs.

http://i45.tinypic.com/4zt21e.jpg
http://i48.tinypic.com/dpkb5x.jpg
http://i47.tinypic.com/2n7qcus.jpg

We don't know of any other diesel 1.9 Vectra engine or Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Saab or Opel variant running this power in Europe so far and I did not set out to achieve this, just wanted to modify it bit by bit to see what worked and what did not.

Very easy. Just e-mail per profile for a prompt response. PMs are answered, not as convenient and may take longer to respond to but I do get back to everyone..
