I have a feeling my S is down on power? Just doesn't seem to be that much faster than my old SiR. I did a back to back run when i took out the lad i sold my car to. He said it was faster, but maybe the howling Kakimoto in the SiR makes it sound quicker :lol:

I have never been to a "cowboy" rolling road but I would be surprised if any dyno operator would hit the limiter. They look at the output screen an watch for the power starting to drop off. Most standard H22's get peak power just after 7K with the limiter being at 7.8K. Hitting the limiter of an H22 is like hitting a brick wall :lol:

I bet the horror stories are from owners who instead of doing basic maintenence throw their cash at performance mods and then wonder why their car breaks.

It's still a bit on the cold side for a meet IMO. This winter is dragging :(

I'd be up for another dyno day once my cars back on the road.

Would be interesting to see if a service and some basic breathing mods have claimed back some of the lost BHP........it also an awesome drive up from Newcastle :twisted:

About 5 years ago i did the West Highland Way in the first week of April. My mates brother did it the week before us, and couldn't complete it due to 2 feet of snow in places!

I reckon we should put the March 31st meet back a few weeks, try get a bit more Celcius :lol:

Yeah we are thinking about having a meet sometime a bit nearer to Aberdeen (if enough Aberdeen guys say they are going to come).

While not an "official" meet, I will be organising another dyno day later in the year. The last one people from here and my track club came along.
