Just had my car taken to stage 2 by the guys at Courtneys Imnotworthy Now that I've nearly recovered from the lack of sleep involved in a trip down to them I've finally got around to penning my opinion of their service. My car is the first VXT with a Larini that they have done - I think the results may dispel the myth that seems to be about that the Larini is just about creating a nice sound :wub: Mark has got to be the most patient man alive - if you read this I apologise for my continuous barrage of questions. Anyway after Mark had done his magic my car was put on the rollers for a couple of runs: Figures measured on the two runs - 240 & 243bhp, 272 & 275lb/ft respectively. On the road the car is now transformed, previously I thought the power delivery was ok (coming from an Audi S3 I was used to a bit of lag) now peak torque arrives @ 2800rpm! A simple blip of the throttle and you're off :) With the flat torque curve that they have managed to acheive the cars much more responsive from any speed /gear! Big thumbsup , cheers Courtneys

The guys at Courtenay are good, and it is just a shame that us guys up north have to drive so blummin far to get to them. Good to see it was worth it though.
