Was anyone on here having their Blue Griff 500 (reg : N281 ***) tested at Austec, if so, I have a pic of your car on teh rollers if you want it. I was there with a friend in the dark purple Cerb getting an MOT.... Your car sounded AMAZING at *000 rpm !

Yes that was me!!

Funnily enough the Griff was also in for an MOT and I thought I might as well have it checked out on the rolling road whilst it was there, arranged beforehand of course. The reason for the very loud exhaust was the Fernhursts sports mod, removing the baffles etc and now that I know the power it's putting out I can honestly say that having this modification done doesn't seem to affect the power at all, well not on mine anyway!

Was very happy with the results of the session and of the all round service Austec gave me. Oh and can I please have a copy of the picture?

Many thanks - Chris

I've got a short video clip with sound if you want that as well! Your Griff made my Cerb sound quite in comparison (well, almost ;-)

I don't mind emailing it to anyone, it's about 1mb, but I'd better wait until Painey gives me the OK??

After a couple of runs and much tinkering from Paul he came out the car smiling and said I should be quite happy..

Power figures were:
285bhp
330lb/ft torque

Can't quite remember what the power at the wheels was but I think it was just over 240.

Anyway, all that really matters is that it seems to be a lot more 'instant' in respsonse now and is quicker than ever.

Cheers - Chris

Doh! Should read quite quiet. Or something.
