Sounds like a great day was had by all.

Re the lowish rwKW readings, I was saying in another thread;

THe MKI autos were making about ~160 at the rears,

My MKII Manual made 185rwKW (4500KM), and another MKII manual made 193rwkw(~11000).

Another MKII auto made 175... (I think it had done 7000)

what's more the owners who drive their cars like they stole them also seemed to make the best power having really run in their engines.

I've used the same "thrash-in" on all my new cars. It's just worked out a bit cheaper now that its a company car and I don't have to pay for the increased wear rate of the "consumables"

My MKII Manual made 185rwKW (4500KM), and another MKII manual made 193rwkw(~11000).

That would be mine, has done 11,120km's. The Car got its first belting probably no more than 5m from the Dealership's driveway. though I don't think the car will last anywhere near as long as others

Seemed like a good turn out on the day, was hard to tell if I was looking at 3 cars of the same car 3 times

Was also a bit confused with the organisation at some times. Was told to line up whenever as there was no order, was an order and then was an order but it doesn't matter? Think some people felt some of us were queue jumping, so hopefully no one got upset

And finally.... will most definately get flammed here but I think BCL's car saw too much time through out the day IMO. I think at one stage it sat on the dyno for about an hour! It was interesting to see and full credit to him and Nizpro.

As an organiser, I totally agree with you Dave. I felt that a little bit too much libverty was taken on Simon's part. Granted, it was great that he brought the vehicle down, however in doing so it was seemingly expected that he could run it whenever and for however much time desired.

Agreed... Whilst I enjoyed the day, appreciated everyones efforts, and will never forget the chance we had to see Brians car run up on the dyno, it got to a point where it was forgotten what we were there for. This resulted in people leaving early and some who could not run up there cars in time before they had to leave.

Then again, some people came only to see bcl's car on the dyno...It was a good mix either way.

That was me. Mario said to apparently add 10kW correction to the dyno read 185kW which is what you should be getting for a stockie.

I'm happy, I just wanted to know that I got what I paid for!

Thanks for a good day, and it was good to meet the peoples I did.

So Will the edit box work in the F6?? or should I be checking E-Bay

I'm told that the CAPA does work with the F6, however there is some talk about gearboxes, or is it the clutch, that seems to fall out of them

Oops, sorry
