What does everybody think about having a 2nd Sydney Dyno Day ??
Maybe after (or before) Nambucca at the same venue. (Silverwater Automotive)

As an Idea maybe we could go Go Kart racing afterwards or a cruise ???

What do you think ???

I can't afford it at the moment Craig, especially with Golbourn & Nambucca just around the corner.
I'm going to wait & hire the dyno for a couple of hours so that I can play with jetting & timing.
The last dyno run just told me what was wrong with the car, despite the 90 at the wheels.

I thought that u would like that Pete, it's just for u mate.

Seriously though, it's just a blatt then off again. It gives u a good baseline but nothing more, u really need some time with the car up there, stop it, play with it than give it another run to have any benefit of the dyno.
The stockers last time were the only ones that had the correct air/fuel ratio.

oh well. still would be fun to have a blatt. assuming we have about ten in attendance, what would it cost? about 50 each? hmm

*smashes piggybank*

i wouldn't worry too much about it jak, 90 horsies is perdy respeckable. I'm back on three cylinders again after a downpour. have to get that CDI kit up and running. probly should go to an auto electrician. if only i trusted them.
also have to retime the hoobulator for its new unleaded diet.
so much to do... so little time n money before Valla...

30 sleeps to go....:bounce

Engine's still on the bench.
Cars still smashed, but should be back on the road soon, albeit with a standard 1600cc or maybe my old 1916cc... not sure yet.

Good luck, hope you can make a day of it.

Yeh Peter it was $50 each last time. If we had over 20 then it was going to be &40 each, about 42 said they were coming but only 12 showed up.

I'd definantly make a special effort to come to Sydney just to see quickbug on the dyno, after driving Keiths 2387 with 120@ the wheels at the time, a 2180 with more would be awesome!!

Jak

PS Quickbg, can I borrow it to beat up some Porsches??

Amazer - its still on the bench, and still partially in pieces since the crank snapped clean in two. Plus, the car its supposed to be in is still smashed.

Im not financial enough to put the engine back in for a while in after the hit and run back in january.

You guys may be hanging out to see it in the flesh (as it were), but believe me, i died from frustration a long time ago...


LOL Peter! if only it were that easy.

Jak - If anyones driving it - its gonna be ME! lol!! Your car would definately be set up better suspension wise, etc, to take out Porsches on the track though...

actually you CAN get a print out and photo on your way back down. Still not exactly what you want as it doesnt say hp just date, time, and speed.


But the photo costs a fair bit. Its not included with the free dyno run.
