Loss of top end speed

Post by Madhatter81 » Sat Jun 29, 2013 1:10 pm

Hi guys
On my way back from derby this morning and some knob in a Mini Cooper s was right up my arse
As I tried to pull away the lude maxed out at 110 mph
Strange because I'm running a a5 with ATR cams and head with a skunk 2 intake and it usually flies round to 130 no probs
Any ideas ??

I have the same problem mate. Mine is a 2.3i auto and also wont go over 110mph. Its a bb2 ukdm, and I think its been restricted. Yours isn't by the sounds of things? Edit yours deffo isn't if you were getting 130mph in the first place! :o
