Its a difficult obstacle to overcome. My mate who is helping me can tune it and is familiar with microtech, although without the gas analyser we are
stuck.
Craig, the box is nice and tight...so tight, i thought there was something wrong with it.
Pete... how is your spyder???? When can we do what we discussed a while back, I have though lots about it!

Wow, I'm only new to posting here, and whilst this is quite interesting, I cannot help it, but I must say I don't know who gayanne is, but it is
extremely difficult to understand what the hell he/she is saying because all the words run together and make no sense.
Can you try and format what you are writing please? No disrespect intended, cause I'd like to hear what you have to say, but reading this is giving
me a headache...

Yeh Greg its bit of a tongue twister. Iam sure if you read a little slower you will under stand what is said in less Technical
terms and meanings.If you have a headache take a panadol no disrespect taken.JVLRacing

For months I have watched this forum, people offering advice and engaging in arguments both serious and humerous. I have usually bit my tongue when
people corrupt discussion with argumentative, onesided and often untrue comments on threads they have no relevance, knowledge or constructive input.
This is not healthy for the life of the forum or our individual persuits, relating to vw's and other topics discussed.
VWCOOL. "i am right and you are not" please tell me this was said in gest. If it wasn't then you may be alot of things, although right is not one
of them. If the diff isnt in the box thats bolted to the motor, then there is more loss.
As for dynos being crap for high performance tuning,this is possibly the most naive, incorrect statement I have seen you post. Yes the track is the
best for fine tuning, although if you knew anything about aftermarket ecu function and tuning, you would realise the limitations of sitting in a car
with a laptop with a portable o2 sensor, trying to replicate all aspects of speed, revs, boost, load, timing and all the other variables that can be
instantly looked at on the dyno. The radiator comment was another treat. There is a huge fan in front of all dynos, despite the fact that cars have
thermo fans on their own the regulate operating temps. Cars do not overheat on dynos, and if they do get a bit hot due to the load and revs of the car
then, it can be tuned for that too! They were not designed as a HP wank tool, so who cares if they all vary slightly in figures as long as the car has
been put through aspects of performance and tuning not available by any other means. I am not going to start on the diagnostic capabilities, as my
head is hurting.
As an example, this thread was hapily plodding along, until you decided to chime in with opinions not aimed at the benefit or assistance to anyone.
Its your right to say whatever you want, I just wish you could loose that chip off your shoulder as your knowledge can obviously assist those newer to
the scene.
Sorry for the ramble guys....

The 'huge' fan is the equivalent of about a 50km/h drive. Dunno about you, but I've never raced anywhere at 30km/h. Welcome to the forum!

Ummm, no, fraid it's not a matter of reading slower, and I can handle anything technical you want to bring up, it's just a matter of punctuation and
sentences.

So we agree on the dynos no probs.:duhso your telling us a front mounted motor same hp figs (vw eg)transfer its hps down a tail shaft to the rear diff
section area is going to be the same as a vw configuration lost of power %wise (stated by you vwcool)! and read the book Motor it might give you
insight on the xr8 i have a friend that works with these xr8 patrols and he has confirmed this as well.:PJVLRacing

Just saying it's hard to read the above cause it's one long sentence?? that's all....

Howdy Greg.
And welcome.
I have to say I hope your not trying to take my title from me as the "resident gardener" at the NSWHC series. We noticed that you were giving the
Beetle some as you arrived at the pits in Bathurst after every run, plenty of dust but to qualify you must produce the dust whilst competing on the
track......or as close to the black stuff as possible......
The rules state:
1: At least one complete 360 deg spin must be completed off the track and as close to the spectator view as possible.
2: A volume of equal too or greater than 2 meters cubed of soil must reach a height of no less than the top of your vehicle during the spin.
3: You must ensure that the said vehicle must stall to prolong the time in front of the spectators after the spin.
So you know the rules......just watch it OK.:thumb
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm
Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals....................Except the Weasel.

Ha ha, thanks Pete,
Don't worry at all mate, you are WAY ahead in the pointscore to win the "Resident Gardener" trophy. I have some video of your runs at Wakefield
from CT that can back that up, and believe me you certainly follow the 3 rules to the letter!!
I couldn't be bothered to do an 8 point turn at Bathurst, so 180's were the go :thumb
However if I did them on the track, I'd miss an important run right?!!
Sorry to hijack this thread which is about Jak's car and dyno's!!
