Haha, theres a bit more to it than that and only a couple of people know about them, so if it got out he'd probably know I'd said something. They've been there years and years now, think theres about 3 of them. It's all pretty dodgey. The guy that told me about them was taken on a tour of the facto...

Doc, what do you mean by 'broken speed limiter' ? The bx will never do 150 on the standard engine, solid tappets alone wont allow it to rev any higher as the rods will also limit that and the engine isnt making enough power higher than the factory rev limit to make it to 150. My car would max out a...
