Hi guys just an update on the dyno day. Got a meeting with Ranald today. The machine is a rototest, Which means it runs of the hubs of the car and not the wheels. This gives you a more accurate of the power the car is giving ( so iam being told) I will post up price and date tonite hopefully. If the is enough interest there might be a chance of a mag covering it but need the Vauxhalls there to get the interest from the mag.

Thanks

hub dyno - hmm not tried one of those, could give me a totally new number to add to the set of figures I've already got!! Suppose it should be higher value than a roller dyno as the losses from the tyres and any traction issues should be negated.

Hi guys got some info for you on this event. I have had a suggestion put to me by paul450 which i think we could run with. The idea being that we dont attend the dyno day thats organised throw Pistonheads. But we organise our own dyno day and with the help of paul450 we can get a full range of Vauxhall`s there. I know we can pull a few Monaro`s and VXR8 to the day and with help iam sure we can get a few other Vauxhalls there on the day.

BTW you are welcome to come along to the Pistonheads day and have some banter, Just not be running your car.

I could also email Total Vauxhall and see if they would be interested in coming along on the day for a few snapps.

What you think?

Si

Looks like there a dyno day for the Vauxhall/Holden guys on the 5/6 December. Also looking to invite some guys along from the Vauxhal drivers club aswell. There would be a limit to how many cars we can do and that limit is 15. So if you wanna have your car dynoed let me know.

The cost of the day would be £40 which is a discounted price for the run. ill start a list off and see what interest there is in this day.

1. Monaro5.7
2. Well_Fans
3. Paul450

Thanks
