Would this be purely power runs or would they do some diagnostics on the run as well?
Is there anything in particular you need checking? I can always ask. I've only ever had a car on a dyno once and that was a few years ago but I remember it showed afr and boost as well the bhp and torque figures.

Last time I had my S15 on a Dyno it showed that it was under fuelling mid range and over boosting. Hoping they could have a quick look around it to see if its a mechanical or map problem.

Might need a full session instead of power run though.
I'll give them a call tomorrow and ask.

Did you manage to give them a call? Don't worry if you didn't as I'll give them a try tomorrow.
Sorry, completely forgot. Tried to pay them a visit this morning but they were closed.

Well my weather says it'll be 22 degrees and partly cloudy so I should be there.
In the Noble.
Are you wanting a dyno run or are you coming along for a chinwag?

I'll go on if there's space. If not ill just do the chatting.
There is still space, added you to the list

Sexual Chocolate said:
Is there space for one more? 997 GT2
Yup, added you to the list.


Still 1 spot left, might end up having another space as one of the Evo chaps is not 100% about his availability.

How long will you guys be there? I might rock up for a bit but not free until mid afternoon-ish
It starts at 09:00, roughly 15 mins per car so we should be there till at least 13:30

No worries. Given the running order I'm not expecting everyone to arrive for 09:00. thumbup

I was just down at RS having a chat, and mentioned a few of the cars going tomorrow, they said they cannot run the all-wheel drive Porsches.
Might be worth a phone call to double check.
Hmmm I thought the 997 GT2 was RWD?

If StottyEvo's mate doesn't take that last place then I will with my Evo X, cheers.
You take it, he can be reserve laugh
Sorted


StottyEvo said:
Biglet I'm not sure if you're aware so I though its worth a mention. I've just spoken to Ben Stevo and he's not running tomorrow, he might come down for a watch though if he can fit it in with work...
Cheers, was waiting to hear back from over on MLR. Looks like there is another slot free then.

There you go, shows how much I know about Porsches smile
To be fair I thought my mates MK2 Escort was FWD, turns out its RWD so theres only one FWD car running tomorrow.

And after getting briefly giddy over putting the 350i on the rollers I have been informed we have too much on tomorrow frown
If there is another I would be interested in attending
I will probably organise another one in a couple of months to see how my rustbucket runs after all the mods. Will keep you posted.

Added him to the list, we have hit the max of 20 now.

If anyone has a change of plans etc then just give me a shout on here. Otherwise I'll see you all tomorrow hopefully!

I'm about to make tracks but there's still 3 rwd cars to run so you guys should be fine if you make it here for 13:00 or thereabouts.

A big thanks to everyone for turning up, sorry I was late. Still in awe of the last VXR8 and the figures it put out. Mind bogglingly mental!

Doh edited my post. Seriously awesome cars, all 3 sounded glorious.

The food was supplied by Dave from CVR4, he was in the Silver Legnum VR4 that was on the rollers. I'm glad everyone turned up and enjoyed the day. Always nice to get a bunch of petrolheads together to drool over all sorts of nice metal. My mates Escort had some running issues which seem to be carb related. My jalopy was down by 40 bhp at the fly. The at the wheel figure is terrible, need to start hunting down those missing horses.

I had to leave just as the Noble was on the dyno. How did the other cars do?
