FAO Stephen D - engine comparisons

[Insomnia]

Stephen I notice from your slightly crumpled bumper picture that your engine looks the same as mine.

Just done a search on here and it would appear yours is a 90bhp 1.4? Is that correct?

Strikes me as odd - mine would be the same but the listed bhp figures on mine come out at 95bhp.

Is yours a 6 speed gearbox?

Just trying to work out the differences and/or justifications in the nominal bhp difference.

Remap was done today by Angel Tuning. Quite a noticeable difference - seems to be more responsive in most gears. Can't put down figures but might get it rolling rolled at some point for curiosity.

The estimate would be anywhere between 10-14bhp extra although will vary from engine to engine depending on service history. As mine has full main dealer service history I'd like to think everything is in tip top condition.... but who knows

There is a place near my work that apparently does RR sessions for £40. Might see if there is anywhere cheaper locally but if not, I'll book it in there one weekend.
