OCUK RR Meet Deux : Revenge is Coming

Right, quick update from me:

I have lined myself a car up, and providing I can make it to this, i'll be in a BMW 745i Sport. Not entirely sure i'll be running it to be honest, as i'm not sure this car can be put on a Rolling Road very easily. I will see what I can do.

I have been informed that there is a family wedding in October, not sure of dates as of yet- I am trying to find this out, as soon as I do I will let you know. Chances are it's the middle or the end of the month so should be fine.:)

Over and out.
 
Well after last time I know I can get about another hour in bed :p Myself, Bear, Edd Scott and another chap were a little eager last time and had time to walk near the town for a coffee and still be back when the next lot turned up :D

I doubt we will be up for the night out, will have a chat with the missus when she is back next week if that ok?
 
what we can do is try and plan the drive to the pub after better, ill sort us into groups on the day and get the 'leader' of each group to either be a semi local, or someone who has another person in their car to call me for directions :) who wants to do the 8:30 am meet in the a40 layby?

So, to get back to the original post. :)
Where is the RR going to be?
A lot of ppl been bitching about powerstation, low figures, high losses, running them in a fifth etc...

People were sour because they got less than they thought :confused: ;)

Stock cars funnily enough came out stock figures, my car came out 7bhp less than I expected so not bad at all.

Will got more than he expected, unless you've had your car run at 2 differant places then run at powerstation and it came out say 20bhp less, theres no way you can say "oh thats a bit low, there dyno must be out"

oh and ONE car was run in fifth, Lowe also had a problem with binding brakes so that probably didnt help anything ;)

Im not saying there amazing, but I think they know what there doing.

Got to say that I got pretty much what I expected minus a few bhp so mine was about right.

Im not fully convinced that the guy knew what he was talking about. After running my car he reckoned by looking at the dyno plot that the small dip in power at a bit over 5k rpm was a trace of det. Firstly to my knowledge you cant see from a dyno plot that a car is suffering from det and also the small dip in power is the VVT swtiching point.

Fair enough about not knowing about the 200 so didnt know about the VVT switching over but the fact he thought he could see a trace of det from a dyno plot bothered me

Sorry to quote an old post, but I've not visited this thread for a while. Not sure if I'll be able to make it.. I'll be able to give you more of an idea tomorrow afternoon (driving test in the morning ;) :D) so depending how it goes, I'll probably come up in my mums car.

Will let you know ASAP! Sorry for any confusion guys, but the plans do sound great.

LOL, I didnt know about that.

Thats the problem, det can only be heard or seen by using some sort of knock meter, it wouldnt ever show on a dyno plot. Thats why Im not sure the guy knows what hes talking about.
