Anyone up for a dyno day......couldnt make the last one as had car issues as usual :cry: im not good at organising so will leave that to someone else :cop: hope enough peeps are interested to put something together.
We could arrange one at Powerstation, Tewksbury.

[QUOTE=Santa;592843]If the cars working and I'm free I'll come. (Don't think I'd be allowed to miss it).[/QUOTE] Exactly lol

If it's June i'd be interested in coming along (as long as it's not the last one) and seeing how much power my NA attempts to produce lol. On the bright side it will take the trophy for the most powerful NA unless someone turns up in a mobility scooter lol
Tut Tut, Admin, Graham and Frankie going off topic on someone else's thread, at least one of you should know better.

4wd dyno with linked rollers would be my preference lol
Would everyone be happy with powerstation in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire? 4wd for santa and other members. http://www.powerstation.org.uk/rolling_road.asp
Not at £72 a run.
Depends on how many are going and if I can afford it, moneys sorta none existant at the minute.
tewkesbury is a mission to get to for me
It's not exactly next door for me either, it's a good 240 mile round trip.
Is that the same powerstation that recorded 120bhp of transmission losses on the Blackbeast? I'm in for sure!
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;615794]Is that the same powerstation that recorded 120bhp of transmission losses on the Blackbeast? I'm in for sure![/QUOTE] yeah but dave as i said before they made my car out to have 102bhp drag loss too
I will have to take my s40 there I will have over 200 bhp from a 122bhp car lol
the whp figures were wrong not the bhp figures
Im sure the more people, better the discount! But thats prob same with most.
[QUOTE=Tomcat;615787]It's not exactly next door for me either, it's a good 240 mile round trip.[/QUOTE] Where bouts r u? Maybe find something midway?
Wigan, Lancashire.
110 miles and 2hrs each way for me.
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;615914]110 miles and 2hrs each way for me.[/QUOTE] 110 miles will take you a lot longer than 2 hours.

160 miles each way, probably a bit far for us Southern lot tbh.
Will look at some more places tonight/tomoroz . I think close to brum would be best.
Oh yh, forgot to say :thread: lol :-)
i think milton keynes is in the middle

birmingaham aint cental though mate? look at the map alot of people live down on the south coast

http://marlinmotors.boschauto.co.uk/

How about Jamsport in Northampton, I know it's not central, but nowhere's going to please everyone.
What you have to do is decide on a place and then get names of those going, if you ask for suggestions you will end up with loads, might I suggest that those needing a 4WD linked dyno find out where they are and we can go from there.

Just to chuck another one into the mix, this is a new 4x4 dyno, near Shrewsbury, yes they do trucks, but also cars. http://www.cartracdynotuning.com/
im out i aint travelling anywhere near shrewsbury or tewkesbury too far for me
The r-tech one should be a linked 4x4 dyno as they do a lot of vag cars. Also theres plenty of parking around there.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617530]im out i aint travelling anywhere near shrewsbury or tewkesbury too far for me[/QUOTE] Nothing final yet mate! Lol
