Hahah, shoes drops out so Mike takes his place as the official retardo lens provider.

I never even realised you could get sea sick by looking at pictures on a monitor until shoes posted all of the meet photos as if I was looking through a peep hole of a front door.

Bryan when you setting off?

Clown · 4 Aug 2012 at 08:02

Now I think. I'm just going to throw some water over me - I'll be driving through Didcot. Hopefully this will empty my tank enough to save £40 quid on petrol when I top up

Mud · 4 Aug 2012 at 08:28

Hah, I packed my fisheye too...but also a tasteful 24mm.

Guys I was only down as a spectator but I've discovered I have a nail in one of my tyres this morning so not sure I will make it now...in the process of getting it sorted.

I slept in so probably won't be coming now.

Interested in some pics as long as its not 90's amateur skateboard video fish eye.

Looking forward to the graphs and photos as ever from the rolling road days

Wish I could have gone

Good day..
That remap doesn't do a lot does it Gibbo.

I guess Porsche already know how to squeeze every last ounce out of it.

Mud · 4 Aug 2012 at 15:27

Thanks again for arranging the day Gibbo, and nice to meet everyone.

Looks like my spark angle went wacky and cost me some power...will be investigating that so good to know. My transmission loss should apparently have been about 24 hp higher.

Transmission loss is not fixed. :mad:

It changes depending on the speed
The higher the speed the higher the loss will be.
If I did a run in a different gear you'd have completely different loss figures.
A higher gear would give you a greater loss and a lower @ the wheel figure.

Thanks for organising the day Gibbo, good to see people again, always a laugh

Was the owner of that CV boot ever identified?

Yeah, that was assuming it was run in fourth like I requested.

Was good, thanks Gibbo. 228 -> 250BHP with map, just right (Golf GTI)

ScoobyDoo69 · 4 Aug 2012 at 17:41

Good day! Thanks for arranging Gibbo!

Howard · 4 Aug 2012 at 17:49

Just got back, good day and thanks Gibbo for arranging

Vigoro · 4 Aug 2012 at 17:51

Good day. Happy with the 174bhp the car made!(after fixing it!

)

Thanks for arranging Gibbo

Good day out, we were reasonably lucky with the weather I think.
Nice to meet some new faces and the regulars

Neil.

sandys · 4 Aug 2012 at 17:56

Thank for letting me come along, Quite happy with my results, decent output from 1368cc , 195bhp and 218lbs of torque, will try a tuning box as my next addition, should see another 15-20 percent bump giving me an even more rapid little Punto.

Sorry I couldn't stay much past 12, had a kids party to get to.
