I am a little worried I wont have it ready in time as it will be a bit tight with finishing the build, running in and getting Ryan's busy time to do all the mapping, I have been watching this thread and its a real shame, I would really like to attend looks like it will be great fun, I was thinking of bringing the red one but I think that is sold as of today

ryans mapping mine the 23rd of this month a few bits and pieces to finish then mine will be ready to play, i will deff be up for this:D

I'll wander down for this

 

Skip or shed, shed or skip (They always seem to end up on the rollers regardless)

Bring the skip Gav, the shed has already proved itself there

Done... Might even have the tadpole done for a power run

I might be up for this, does it place too much pressure on the engine and turbos though, a lot of people seem to have problems when on RR's, I can't risk it if so. If not then

Its very stressful on the car and the owner seeing your car at full chat, but its what we own them for right ??

It does obviously stress the car a little bit, however Charlie is a good lad and a very competent dyno person and does keep an eye on all aspects. A few times he has pulled cars off because of possible issues. While it isn't a gaureentee or anything, it is a comfort factor

It places a similar amount of stress on the car as you'd get from a full 5th gear pull on the road, so yes it does put a fair amount of stress on the engine and drive train. However, it's a good chance to find out any weakneses in a safe enviroment, rather than on the road. I don't think we've ever had a major problem for stock cars on the dyno days, it tends to be mapping sessions on (major HP) new builds where things occasionally go wrong.

 

Edited to add: As Gav says, if any problem shows up (usually with AFR's) the run is aborted immediately

[tooquicktostop]

If I am willing to jump on with my RR experiences in the past then you should have no problems

 

If you have never heard a big single Supra on a RR on WOT then you MUST come along, the youtube clips dont give it justice !!

Got to agree with that. Externally vented wastegates are quite an experience in a closed enviroment

[JustGav]

Do you reckon charlie will let me put the tadpole on the dyno? Little unsure, but we should be able to strap down the trike.

I'll ask him He's had all sorts of wierd stuff on there before, so provided it can be strapped it shouldn't be a problem, will let you know

Cool, even if we have to trailer it down without a body shell on I'll bring it.
