This agument is so pointless on so many levels. IMHO bottom line is power figures dont mean shit. What we are ultimately trying to do when modifing a car is to increase its overall performance for the application its been built for. Who cares if it has xxxkW? As long as it becomes faster with every mod.

I should be able to make it

I'll be using this insult for ages! bahahaha

Hahahaha Dont start!

Bump

If your dyno cant get stock Civic to make 200fwkw then it must be stuffed :wassup: I tried to use my car as an example to highlight dyno inconsistencies

Well done to the Auto Salon organisers. Its great that the only thing people are taking about after a car show is the scantily dressed models...

Yeah, but they were different. I'm sure I took a pick of em...

Both The camera is shit and her face is waaaay out of focus...

PM me as my mum is a finance broker. She'll look after you

Ca you get them in 16"? I'm just after 2 for a bit more grip at the drags, will these be any good?

If you want to sell the Super Dragger spam me a PM as my old Jasma is fast becoming orange flakes.

What that pic doesnt show is how good that chick actually is. My camera is hopeless. She said to me "Now that you have my pic you have to vote for the car". I was gonna need more from my 50c sms so I said "I'll think about it if I can have your phone number."

I'm sure I took more pics of punani but I cant find them :confused: Heres afew more cars anyway...

Only 2 out of those 18????? Lets start being honest with ourselves please.

Geez. Give me half a second.... Enjoy :wassup:

More...

I went today. Wasnt really all that impressed as most of the cars were the same as the April one. It was good to see the Vic Pres hard at work on traffic control Heres a few pics. More to come...

Of course it makes sense. But doesnt prove that they're the same final product. In my experience I can say that Ultimate is this and Optimax is that because it is what I have observed when using the fuel. To say Ultimate and Optimax are the same fuel besause they come from the same place doesnt make sense because I have experienced otherwise.

But just because they are refined in the same place doesn't mean they're the same product surely? Shell spent millions on developing Opimax. Why would the others do the same when they could've just borrowed the recipe off Shell? Panasonic, Technics, and Digitor (Dick Smith brand) are all assembled in the same factory but produce very different products in terms of looks, reliability etc.

The factory gauge reads in mm Murcury (mmHg). +7mmHg is 1 bar or around 15psi. That means 400mmHg is about 7-8psi so it sounds alright to me.

I agree with this totally and forms part of the point I'm trying to make. A dyno is a diagnosic tool used to determine how well the car is running, and to make it run better. The figure at the end means little. Where the figure has meaning is when I go to a workshop and put out 150rwkw, then after a few mods and retune I get 190rwkw. This tells me that the car has more power, the money spent wasnt a waste, and it should be a lot quicker. Again, however, this 190rwkw figure is almost certainly going to be different on a different dyno. For people who just want XXXrwkw etc, find a dyno that reads high. It will cost $30 for a power run and you can say that you have XXXrwkw. Just dont be surprized when a car with a lower power reading is able to keep up you.

I smell dodgy warfies! Anyway congrats!
