winning or not, wasnt the issue,

i wan to see the mods i added improved by how much.

hence the future mods as well.

the readout figure i can not relate to anything,

that is my frustration.

ps.

sorry for bragging,

i'll stop now! :P

and not sure how the dyno reading can be out when everyone else was getting less than expected figures or close to expected! maybe something happened later in the day?

not sure why everyone is getting worked up? it was a fun day!!! and i'm sure ben was feeling pressured to get all those cars off and on! its not like its a proper tune!! so why is everyone hassling?!

either way.. thanks to adam, charlie, jas25t and steve for the day :P was good fun!!!

Moanie. Go and have a look at the previous posts or just postwhore somewhere else please.

The point is that not everyone is happy, and not everyone was up against "Mr Stock".

Enjoy!

if anyone is after an accurate power figure they are best to go to WSID and go by MPH or put their engine on an engine dyno... a chassis dyno is really only a tuning tool which has way to many variables that can affect the readout.... just losely strapping a car has yealded an extra 30rwkw, changing wheels has made near the same so i wouldnt be to stressed by differing read outs

A great day none the less and was great to catch up with quite a few people. Cant wait for the next event :P

Fair enough. Well put but......

You arrived after the event. I hope you enjoy the next event as much as this one (30 minutes).

its cool now,

my lack of knowledges, thinking that dyno run will tell me the exact power figure of the car. (wanted to know so bad, the mods i did)

until IDO09S shead some lights, :P

so yea, :)

I thought it was meant to be fun but Adrian made it a big deal to my Son, when he said that he will get 206rwkw (to beat my Wife's 205rwkw).

He said he wanted to make sure that he took home the trophy that he had asked to be "shined up" for him.

woah!!! i didn't realise that my comments which are on topic equate to postwhoring! i keep that to the relevant threads!!

who is mr stock?

and yes.. i see that not everyone is happy.. i'm just saying that there were alot of cars that were on that dyno... and uas were obviously having some probs... but at the same time, alot of people got power figures they were expecting.. so who can say!!! ben was rushed to put cars through.. maybe he forgot to connect his cables properly on a few runs... someone said there was a faulty connection! so MEH! shit happens! this was meant to be a fun day, and i think most people had fun!

and there really is no need for you to be so rude!

ps if anything i think adrian has a right to win... he has a stock turbo... with nos he owns the stock turbo catergory!!!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
