I might very well be interested in that!

[Luckyone]

That sounds like fun
It's not far from us & it would be interesting to see if it is down on power. It feels slower than it used to, but then that always seems to happen once you get used to a faster car...

Actually some days it seems much better than others - I guess the air pressure & temp have quiet an effect on such a big engine, that from what I've been reading on here, would seem to have some breathing difficulties?

Charlie,

We are coming with GuyR on the Sunday 29 of Jan,(really looking forward to it) and I was just wondering how you guys calculated gearbox losses?

all the best

We use the computer programme method as opposed to coast down. We have a special set of losses for Porsches. Its very accurate, and can't be fiddled.

I was under the impression that the 4WD coming was based on a 996 turbo. Is'nt yours in the narrow body 996?

Just trying to plan the airflow.

Regards,

Charlie.

[BrianTheYank]

Can I run on it and see how much power I got?

[PetrolTed]

Right then, roll up, roll up.

Email Vixpy1 to book your place and then slap it in your calendar

Umm, Adam, Sunday's the 30th, don't turn up on the wrong day

[adamt]

Cheers Graham!

Charlie,

The reason I ask is because the gearbox losses are not always "linear" for instance at 6000rpm they are considerably different than at 2000rpm.

The car is as wide as a 996 tt but has the intakes in the shoulders as opposed to the flanks of a normal tt.

Hi Adam,

The program takes that into account.

Regards,

Charlie.

[nicecupoftea]

Are the places going quickly?

Trying to ascertain whether I am working on the day or not!

Who's going then?

[PetrolTed]

Nicecuppa, no-one's confirmed it in the calendar yet so I suspect you'll get a place no problem.

We'll be mentioning it on the home page next week so get in now.

[vixpy1]

Yes, plently of places left at the moment, but they do tend to go fast.

charlie,

Any luck with the chart with all the data from all cars, from the previous day?

Have I missed it?

Ist in the General TVR section Jem.

[-DeaDLocK-]

Vixpy will every car get torque/bhp figures (wheel/fly?) as well as AFR results? I'm very interested.

[vixpy1]

Every car gets Wheel and and estimate of the flywheel figs.

We run the AFR on Modified cars, and will do a printout if requested.

[Mr E]

Thinking about this. I'm assuming that a modified Jap hunk of tin can be accomadated with few problems....

Not a problem.
