nokinidea - you able to do a tiptronic Mitsubishi VR-4? Else I'll run the missus' Galant as per my original plan, get her to arrange to get there on the day as well!

Phate · 27 Mar 2009 at 14:20

I'll update the list tonight with running order people mmmkaay?

Fr0dders · 27 Mar 2009 at 14:33

we doing it by wheelbase again

if so i should be alright as long as you do shortest to longest. Not fancying the 175 mile drive to get there for 9am :eek:

It takes seconds to adjust the rollers based on wheelbase, it won't make any difference whether it's in a random order or some kind of ready-made order based on wheelbase!

This. I prefer the random wheelbases...means Andy actually does some work..so does his lacky!

Naa better not, it's auto and twin turbo.
DSG boxes are fine as I can run the dyno in manual mode but the triptronic VR-4 still uses a torque converter IIRC

It's not so I have to do less work, it's to make sure the results are repeatable as best as I can between the same model of car!

It cant be that hard to put the mondeos together, the focus together, the 330's together...

Doesn't have to be shortest to longest or any of that crap..

Phate · 27 Mar 2009 at 19:00

Right, if anyone wants to be at the start, or the end, say now whilst I'm doing the list.

Dorje · 27 Mar 2009 at 19:06

I don't want to be last, but towards the end. Mainly because I've got a 4/5 hour drive preceeding the RR run
