Now my new coup is back from a trip to flea (minus dyno)...
Who fancies a trip to Red Dot in Enfield again?

Just out of interest, what Dyno do they use here?

Also do you or anyone know if this is the one Duncan78 went to as his was a healthy, spot on 221bhp if I remember correctly.

Cheers,


Now in the 400+ bhp club!

Hey Technics,

The one I went to was at Hayes Engineering in Erith, Kent. It had a Dyno-Dynamics RR.

My car made 221.8 bhp. It was useful as I could see my EBV was tired. I've got a brand new EBV since then, would like to get it RR'd at the same place again sometime ...

Now now ladies...

Marco not lazy just v busy, only day off I had went to Flea as you know.

Besides I understand you want to get certain parts (bought and) fitted before seeing how close yours will be to mine...

Sat 28th May a gooer - gives everyone PLENTY of time... And enough heads and I'm sure they'll do a cheap 30 quid a car price or thereabouts...

I might still be up for this even if it is at Red Dot.

At Erith we had sandwiches provided for free, so I propose that if Will is organising it and we go to Red Dot, his GF/Wife makes some for everyone smile

Also speaking to my mate - he's an editor of a car mag, more max power style that Auto Italia - but worth a try to see if he wants to get anyone down...
Looks like I may have to change clutch first though if I'm gonna have some power runs myself ;-(

Not yet Joe, too much on at the mo, 6+ weeks of work infront of me, wife's been out of the country in the US for the last week and veg growing season is in full swing. I'll just have to behave sensibly frown But it will be my next coupe job, after cleaning for the Beaulieu Event this weekend. It's been hauled up in the shrine since Dust-bowl Italia wink
