    Grande @ Rolling Road

    Went to Powerstation Rolling Road in Tewksbury last month with another forum I'm with and ran my Grande - I think I'm the only Fiat in the club, but some very nice cars ran on the day including a Vauxhall VXR8.





    And obviously, the all important results.



    Other than a Pipercross Panel filter in the OE airbox, the car is completely standard (1.9 Multijet Sporting) and if it makes any difference, it was running on BP Ultimate Diesel. I was well Happy with the results, and think I might have got a little more power if i turned the heaters and the sidelights off!

    It's a regular event with the club and by next year, i plan to have a turbo back decatted exhaust and a remap.

    let me know what you think.

    Do you think this is something that i should be worried about and looking into? What would cause it... clutch/gearbox?

    What should they be standard? 50bhp is a very generous estimate from the rolling road imo

    Standard they are meant to be about 130bhp but this obviously not set in stone and some come a little under and some a little over.

    There is also the possibility of the rollers being quite generous as some of the other guys mentioned suprisingly high results.

    That looks very nice! I always thought you had a blue one

    Do these have the DPF problems or even have a DPF?

    i would put it down to generous rollers tbh, definately nothing to worry about. Been meaning to get mine on a RR for a laugh

    James, long time no speak! how's things?

    Hey Dan! I'm alright buddy.

    A nice remap or tuning box will be lovely on that, there is a member on here with an orange mjet at 200bhp for my life I can't remember his name.

    Hi James. Hope you're good mate!

    Not got a blue one :S wish i had a colour that shows the dirt less though! think the newer ones have a DPF, but luckily i'm without as i've heard they can be a pain.

    I'm thinking of going to Pro-Speed Exhausts in Cardiff for my system and am still shopping round for a re-map - so many different places. I think i'd prefer to get it done on a rolling road to see befores and afters.
