Here you go Elexes

I just rang up westward engineering there to ask a few questions.

Firstly whats the most cars you can take? No more than 15

Will cars with speed limiters need to get the limiter removed? No

Will you tiptronic cars be a problem? Wouldn't waste my time with a tiptronic or automatic

When can we book a slot? Fully booked up till start of Feburary.

Thought as much....

[endapender]

I don't understand why they wouldn't do the tiptronic ones. I've seen in mags of rolling road days with auto cars in it. Seems like a lazy answer to me

[IRLRs200]

I just think it takes more time to get accurate results with a tiptronic, and wouldnt be worth his while doing it is there is a queue of 12 cars behind ya!

Im sure if you book an hour on your own it can be done

Ye I don't actually know any1 with a manual or tiptronic that's got their car rolling roaded lol

As you said it probably just takes more time...

So who does that leave???

[markrs200]

Thanks for checking that mate thats good to know .

Come here lads sorry for changin the subject now but where is the best place to buy an apexi rsm .

I can fit it myself so that will save a few yoyos :P

No Dizz they do do cars with manual transmission. so me and you should be fine anyway!!

[xnickx]

Well I'm sure in tiptronic mode it shouldn't be an issue? Just bring a few down anyway and see how it goes :P

[lee_iceman]

Dizz, you settled on a cetain date yet. Just checking ferry prices, might pop over for this meet.

Not so far I'm afraid, had a lot on my plate at the mo well the more the merrier obviously :D

Shall try & work out a date as soon as possible :winky:

[IRLRs200]

Lets just book a date early Feburary. We will easily get 10 people if not more. I'll give u a hand Dizz if you want. Remember lads, No AT's no Tiptronics!!

[MacRS200]

Just to chuck in my 2p worth.

You can dyno an autobox car but the problem is that the Tezza box cannot be "locked" in a gear. This means that you cannot use WOT at low to meduim revs because the car will change down to keep the revs above 5k. So no real numbers below that in terms of power and torque.

Also you really need to dyno in a higher gear when I had mine done the tip was set in 3, problem there is the speed limiter cuts in before the revs max out. The power and torque curves climb nicely then the dyno plot just drops off as the limiter cuts in so no max power figure either.

Still should be a fun day.

Hey there lads, count me in too. Anytime beyond the 10th of january is fine with me. I might have a little something of interest for ye too. Do ye mind if I bring a friendly toyota celica along? Id say he might like to test out aswel.
