Wow that was an experience and a half!! All sorts of thoughts and scenarios ran through my head.As he wound it up the tyres started to slip a bit and is stepped out a little before settling down, then came the queer feeling of sitting on the back with the engine going flat bikky and not going anywhere, then came the smoke which really freaked me out. The exhaust got hot and began to burn the paint off, as soon as John (the dyno guy) told me that my heart rate dropped by 50%.Anyway, it was a great experience and a great result was achieved, even gave John a surprise.If you have not had a dyno reading, go do it!! It's worth the few pennies it costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on Earth did you not post the read out? - I'm at work and don't have a scanner. Hopefully I can do it tonight for you.2. Didn't they have an air compressor? And what paint was it burning off? - don't know and the paint was from the exhaust. The dude who installed it painted it black.3. Stepped out a little on the rollers when the car makes 236rwkw?Did they strap it down properly?Ive witnessed plenty of cars making over 550rwkw, and they sure dont "step out"!!!! - Perhaps step out was the wrong term. It moved sideways a bit on the dyno rollers, that is a little scay when you are sitting on the car. It had 2 big clamps on the front and a big chain on the back so I guess it was strapped down properly. My tyres are well worn, just below wear line, getting new tyres on Monday.4. Bit of advice, 'Do not stand in front of the car'..... - Sounds like there is a story behind this comment. Care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh sh*t happens and glad the operator was quick enough to control it before any damage happened. Yeah no one was standing in front. Common sense really, unless the workshop has insurance. Might get a few weeks off work and a payout Edited 09/05/08 09:16 AM by Fatsex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
