North v South dyno shootout competition APRIL 19th 2014

Aj nice to meet you again like you say must be nearly five year. Indy good to meet you both cars were highly polished looking good. If you both lived closer there would be a R heading your way for a polish lol

I saw all you guys come past the services when I had my head under the bonnet I saw the merc sls cowering behind you all, whats wrong with these people, they buy a car with tons of power but never so much as tickle the throttle  it's those people that should be forced to drive a hybrid because they are wasting fuel and polluting the atmosphere for no reason at all! At least we have fun while we are destroying the earth

Totally agree never realised you were still at services mate would of called in

I think I have found a few causes of my issues yesterday.

First off the dump valve had some of that plumbers Ptfe stuff where it screws together to seal and it had all got squashed up in the threads and was probably preventing it from sealing properly and I think some of it was actually stopping the piston from closing properly.

Secondly when I pulled the dump valve off I noticed the tps plug was not even connected! It must of been on but loose and when I pulled the dump valve off it must of pulled the tps plug off.

I think the dump valve is fine now I have removed that Ptfe shit, I'm going to pu it back together and see what it's like

Let us know how it. goes bill think that could well be the main issue with your lack of power as the engine and everything else is very good.
Did you do the fault code check on it?

Well what a great day, was good to meet everyone but bit gutted mine wasnt their, but always the next one.

Bill hopefully that sorts it out as I'm sure you don't want to be retaining the spoon next time round

Hope you have the spoon in your car Bill .
We need to see pictures of it on it's travels   

I've just been for a little drive around the block and it seams to be spot on now, definately not running like it was yesterday!

I noticed when I put the dump valve back on it was pointing a different way so was obviously not tightening up properly.

I'm going to get all new intercooler piping etc and make sure I have no boost leaks or anything before the next RR day because I don't want to be stuck with the spoon of despair lol

I think bob should have a rolling road grand opening with a gtir RR day , maybe try to get a mag to do a shoot about it which would be good for the Rs and great for bob's free advertising. What do u recon Bob?

Sounds like a good idea and we know that bob isn't going to rev the tits off of our cars and leave them bouncing of the limiter

I forgot to mention bob I haven't fault code checked my car, I forgot to ask at the pub because Gaz was going to do it. You will have to tell me how to do it and I will do it tomorrow

That certainly is highly probable
We've many many things to sort out at the moment including another larger unit to house the dyno ect plus all the piles of paperwork and so forth associated with such so it's a bit of a drawn out process, but providing there's no hiccups along the way were looking at launching the company around August time

We also need to be 100% competent in using the dyno before we put any customers car on there as the latest one out is quite a complex high tec bit of kit so obviously need to be fully conversant with it.

And no we won't be banging cars off the rev limiter lol

Think a gtir grand opening day would be great for your business Bob.. I would defo make a trip over the water

I agree would be a great opening, plus if we can get some big numbers with a feature would be good aswell  

Bloody hell , don't tell me I've finally had a good idea lol, august isn't very long off mate. You would really have to get thing moving to be running by then but god dam it I'm excited now.

I think it's an awesome idea as long as the unit is roughly where he is now as im only 5 miles away lol

Look north Bob, somewhere central lol. Infack I'm bang in the middle so if you move here everyone can come plus you'll make yr tickover money from Bill alone lol

Blimey darren ... you have peaked early on in the year .... sounds a good idea .... and wish you all the best with it bob  

It will be bang opposite to where we are now as I'm gonna grab the unit when the present occupants move out in July
Gtir us will still be in the old unit adjacent so will be handy with both companies being opposite

Yes there's much to sort out guys and maybe I'm being a little optimistic with start of august but you have to have some optimism lol
If it's September then it's September but we will endeavour with august, it's all the bloody paperwork and form filling which takes the time as it's all out of our hands and we know solicitors ect never rush themselves

Can't wait to kick this company off as there is nothing like it round here and boy racer capital of the uk lol

Sounds great Bob, I hope it goes through smoothly for you    On the plus side too, you are not too far from me for the travelling  

Bet your already looking forward to all the morons that will turn up expecting you to give them a zillion hp in their saxo's

Should be good am looking forward to it I can see myself spending a lot of time down there

I could certainly do with a few more ponies under the bonnet
