matth76 1 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Later OBD2's run on average 10bhp more than the earlier OBD1's. Every car is different even from the factory. Just life. Again it is how well looked after it is - especially if its allowed to properly warm up to 88-90deg or 15 mins from cold before taking it over 3 - 3.5k revs. Regular servicing etc every 10k miles.
