    I'm working, what numbers does he need to run, what Dyno, max BHP, Autos, 2wd/4wd, does he do AFR and Boost plot? there's nothing on web site, and I know local place to me is cheap, but very limited on what they can test/print out/and would only do cars upto 200BHP, as is mainly used for tuning cars with carburettors

    Its a bit out in the sticks (nice roads to drive at night), I have driven past many a time going to friends in Bexhill.

    If they can run decent power, with AFR/Boost plots then probably worth posting on VOC/T5D5 as well, to try and get more interest (its next saturday)

    Hi John,
    I can't do that day - may be tricky for a few weeks with kids birthdays and more importantly sister-in-law in Cambridge taken a serious but anticipated turn for the worse (withdrawing chemotherapy - this is basically it) so need to be around for bro. If I can, will still get mine done locally probably during half-term week. Sanspeed only RR during the week anyway - and £80 so you have a great price there.
    I hope you get some takers on that one. Well done for organising it. Hope to get down to Brighton at end of October so may give you a shout.
    Cheers,
    Phil.

    Sounds a good idea but i think you probably need to give a bit more notice to get a few people together, i know Ninfield my Folks live about 30 mins away. I am working Sat 10th October, if it could be arranged for a later date i would bring my V70R but its AWD so if it 2wd rollers i'll bring my E39 M5. £25 is cheap !

    Cheers Simon.
