  1. On the similer vain!!! Anyone noticed the car that Rosie Webster bought in Corrie? Strange choice from such a neich manufacturer... You would have thought that a UK company would have been all over that one for a bit of product placement!
  2. Would it happen to be a venturi 400 GT?
  3. OMG another slight styling change on a 911 !! One day, in around 2099 they are going to bring out a new design!! Still wouldnt mind one though!
  4. Another ferrari thats been made to look like an F40? Or is it one of those brazillian made things?
  5. K+N Typhoon with a PopCharger filter!!
  6. Pretty specific? Cant you just go buy one from the shops? Size and type isnt specific to the car is it?
  7. It is an RSW centre console and if you want the rest of it, then you may want to have a word with Envy as they have the rest of the bits not to make it look out of place!
  8. Yeh it would, but its being moved very soon!!! The rolling road is rolling!! It may still be in situe for a few weeks, I can ask gary if hes moved it yet if you really fancy it. When it is moved it does mean it will need to be calibrated when it gets reinstalled...
  9. Going from nurrish's non-mapped dynos: (rounded up and down) Westons 260bhp RS 285bhp so in theory mine would be: (dynoed same day as nurrish's) Westons 305bhp RS 330bhp (in theory) So if you calculate the drivetrain loss at 17%(ish) mine would be putting out 275 RWHP, only 25 less than Adam@Z1's car so something is wrong here somewhere if you catch my drift. I agree that there is definitely something wrong with the dyno world if two different dynos can be so far apart on the same car but it wouldnt put me off getting dyno's. Id just get them done at the same place all the time and use them to see gains as opposed to max power. In fact I may even stopp quoting my max power after dyno's (as its clear that it could be way out) and just say "fitted new mod today - got me 1bhp increase". As long as you always use the same dyno then increase wise we should be able to say pretty accurately what our mods have done for us. On another note surely there should be some sort of national dyno rules for things like what gear to use, how tight to strap etc......so that we can take it to different places and feel confident that we are getting a comparable test? Actually what did yours do between Garys and SRR? As we did change your zorst over between the 2 runs!

Well the bloke at Westons (only dyno I have ever done) said that all of the Dyno Dynamics should be pretty close at it all comes set from them and not the individual tuner. As you said though, I think that the only way of getting reliable information is to use the same dyno every time forgetting about the actual figure and just keeping in mind increases and decreases in power. All mine have been done on DD and been pretty consistant... Agree that its a way of seeing an increase on one dyno, but is it an increase? You need to have something to check against... If you get a 10% increase all round then you should see one elsewhere. The point is with Daves dyno was that he had one at weston and he got an increase when he pulled at SRR. He showed an increase at RS but his number was a psycological High of over 300..... Had it been that an initial reading of 265 at RS and then an increase to 285 would you have been happy? Would others looking around for tuning be happy? Probably not as the stock DE is 276 (one is somewhere!!) and is the expense then worth it for the 9hp? I suppose one thing is it isnt all about the bhp, the torque comes in to it and if you have a more (or less ) economical engine.
  11. The one with the AFR would be good~! just interested!
  12. Yeh I got it first time Chris, but tuners (depending on what they are doing) wont just play around with the AFR, there are other areas to gain in from adjusting timings, so as his car is strong it will still benifit more... Its all about the tuner knowing about what they doing and the areas that need sorting. His car could be strong down to his compression ratio being spot on, thus better AFR will give him more torque and bhp. Only way to tell will be to try it I suppose!
  13. Saw that in the paper the other day... quite amazing!
  14. Disagree there Chris, if Ad took his to SSR or Abbey for a remap or to whoever for a piggyback he would see the same % increase at SSR. The thing to find out is at another tuners what his baseline is... if its 289 at Abbey and he comes back with 310 then it should read about the same at SSR? If not its down to % increases between the 2? Looking forward to seeing what numbers yours comes out with Bundus when it gets done as yours was running lean wasnt it? Bit more fuel and a map and you will be pushing hard! As I say I would be more than happy to run mine at Abbey to see what numbers I get to see if there is consistancy between the others mine has been on... What will also be interesting is what numbers Andymc gets on his as I think hes down there this week! I think the biggest point of all of this is that there arnt many gains on a 350z without FI and the gains you get you want to keep, so when you do loose them you do feel pretty crap as you have spent money on the mods and the tuning and it suddenly all dissappears!
  15. One on mine already!! Good choice mate
  16. You dont do too bad yourself mate!!!
  17. Didnt realise you had a hub dyno Mark, may have to pop by for a comparison
  18. Few questions to help your ad.... What chip or remap has it got to get it too 310 (a big selling point.) It needs to have something to get it too this.. Did the previous owner not give you a dyno chart? What Zorst - Ypipe - Hiflows etc if any has it got, What CAI? Plenum spacer? Pics of the interior? Pics of Engine bay? Verts often sell better with the roof down... Too much waffle in your add at the top. List the car basics / mileage etc at the top, then the mods, then the waffle at the end. Put it in MS word first to check for spelling mistakes. 4 Pics should be enough, Side with roof down (where it looks best!) front 3/4 shot with the spoiler in, Engine bay square on and interior from behind. Oh and btw, wheels spinning in 2nd isnt a great selling point, looks like your thrashing it and dropping the clutch too early with a fast gear change
  19. Guessing you didnt see the post I put up about the Ings low one for 700 euros... No tax either!
