Might be jumping the gun here because I ain't been on in months thanks to work...

But that said is there any tooling road days planned or would anyone be interested?

Cheers Doug

Me too, always curious as to what the real figures are for my car.

I'd be keen. My brother would be, too.

Wallace is most likely and one I've used a few times before.

Wallace no longer allow customers inside the workshop when the dyno is in use, due to HSE issues (not their fault). Not sure if that means they're not doing dyno days any more but worth the ask. Would be a shame if not as I've been to a few there and they're always good and happy to advise and help where they can on the day.

There's a place with a dyno in Inverurie but I can't remember the name...

Wallace is a fine establishment but my car doesn't agree with their rollers - the gearing is such that it tops out their speed in 4th gear and the tyres just slip in 3rd!

They had new rollers put in last year I believe, might be worth phoning to ask spec of it?

I'm also up for this, assuming the chosen venue can accommodate 4wd.

Not looking good guys tried Wallace and DMC and neither are interested in holding a dyno day atm so I think it is going to be a no go...

If any one else wants to take over and knows other dyno folk please feel free

That's a shame, I knew Wallace had had issues on dyno days in the past but I'd have thought DMC would be keen - I can't find their own website now but I'm sure I was looking at it before and they advertised dyno days. Did they say why they weren't keen?

There's Ricky Gauld up in Huntly but that's a wee bit of a trek, that's the next closest one I can think of though. Could be good for a wee run home down the Rhynie road though.

I've just had my car on the rolling road at Wallace Performance and I mentioned about the rolling road day what's been said here in that they no longer do dyno days. Apparently that was the case up until last year as there were some HSE/insurance issues that prevented them doing them. But there are new owners now and those issues have now been resolved so can accommodate dyno days if there is interest. Would require a minimum of 20 cars to make it worthwhile for them. Just thought I'll mention it in case there was still interest here.
