I had a bob Scorpio, it was quite good. But when one of the chains go then

I have a BOA Powered Sapphire, with the BOB cams and Vauxhall injectors they make a few extra HP's . Our mondeo has the Duratec 2.5 24V , It did not feel as BIG as the 2.9's I think the inlet runner was not working correctly as if felt like it had no real torque low down..

Our Galaxy has the 2.3 16V.. It just does not have the feel of a 6...


I think V6's are just in my blod now

Ahh I'd forgotten the 2.5 duratec. When our boss got one of the first ST24's as a company car, we had a seaky drive round the block in it and it felt gutless compared to the 2.8mk2 granny I was driving around in at the time. I've since driven the 3.0 ST 220 and that's a much better car - felt like a V6 should! The galaxy is not the vehicle to enjoy the 2.3 engine in... and I always had a grin on my face when driving the RS2000 16v. Don't know why as it was a FWD
