My diesel was tuned to 151 and rr'd at that figure. It went well, but every morning the clatter was crazy - every time you stopped at a set of lights or give way, the clatter was crazy - every time I booted it .... blah blah - you get the idea.
And Dave - I said this before when you made a comparison either here or on another site - you drove a dog mate. Mine goes like the clappers, been RRd at 184 the other week and if you'd like to have a drive, you'd be more than welcome - or even Pompski's well sorted example with a few breathing mods meaning that if his vis motors are OK his should be making even more.
But - when I'm stationary, I can't hear the engine, and when I do put my foot down, it's beautiful.
Craig - if you need some cheap transportation - get one. If not - don't bother. It'll never be the same.

That's well put that dan I,ve gotta say I couldn't bring myself to have a diesel over the 180 for all the reasons you have said there
