Thumbs up Spent the morning on a Rolling Road.

I was very impressed with my power output.

Now, of course, my Honda Civic Diesel has a 'standard' Torque figure which would embarrass most Scoobie's .............. but, we all know that.

What I wasn't expecting was the BHP figure!

Yes, I have had a CockLink fitted and had it Mapped .... but ....

A staggering 375BHP at the wheels - I knew I was humiliating cars left, right and centre ... but I had no idea that was what I was pushing out.

The mpg figure has, amazingly, increased to 75 mpg - from the stock 55 mpg!

You lads have been right all the time - you CAN get 500BHP and 60mpg if you get it mapped - what value, what a revelation!!

So pleased .......

Hi Pete, I am pleased with your output, I think you should get in the papers or even a TV show so other civic owners can get this too, if you found a way to get it you should share after all its only fair ;-)

and then he woke up realising the wet warming feeling wasn't because of the results he got but in fact he had pissed himself in his sleep.

I think that's 37.5

.5 is due to the mapping

If you add viper stripes to the bonnet, you will get an extra 100bhp.

All across the roof and boot as well and thats an extra 200bhp whilst improving economy by 20%

All that from a V-tec?

If you remove the carpet from the bonnet that will give you an extra 10bhp

Taken just after the "rolling road" session. The excitement skewed the camera angle a little...

This is a bit like you! as it makes no sense? You made 375bhp but its suddenly 500bhp? Rolling roads are notorious for giving people like you a figure you crave


Plus I would bet cash you don't get 60mpg when driving at your power output of 500bhp!


Yes it was nice to see x=y times z and you get your power figure but any normal person knows power and foot to the floor means no miles at all


I would bet £200 you cant get 60mpg driving your car with 500bhp

The bit that confused me was that the spaghetti seemed to be already cooked when they picked it off the tree!
