It was a very nice day, I enjoyed meeting old faces and some new ones too (the scrap man and his old mate)

Thank Don and Ashook for feeding me again, I will try and get to some CB meets soon.

A great day, thanks to those that organised it and all that attended.

Once again, another great meet. God to see you lot again, and to meet a few new faces.

And yes, I still have a huge smile on my face from the dyno-run

I'll scan the graph and post it up later.

198HP in 2nd and 195HP in 3rd Wheel speed on the rollers lose more power than you gain by the 1:1 gear ratio in third.

BHP is about 235-240BHP based on the numbers I have for that transmission

Well I was happy.........

225,000 mile ex-plod heap of cr**

Boosting to 1.6 bar

Pulling just about 320 BHP...

But wait for it..... A whopping 360 lb/ft or 490Nm of torque.... Enough to pull a house down!!!

The car had to be tied down twice!!

And the highest mileage car there... pulling the most torque!

First of all, many thanks to Don and the guys at PD for organising the meet and arranging for the bacon rolls etc. It really was a great meet and glad the cakes went down well!! Sorry I got there a little bit late but it was really nice meeting lots of new faces; hope that will be a continuing trend for next year!

I too very much enjoyed myself and the sound of all the cars was simply glorious; hopefully we'll finally be able to get a reading for my car at PD at the next meet!

Had a good chuckle when I got home; "read" the ECU and it had two fault codes stored:
ECM-78 Engine Speed (RPM) sensor. Signal too high (faulty signal). Intermittent Fault
DTC 1-1-2 Vehicle speed signal illegal

Can't imagine why either of those would be stored in there given "I-ball" only revved it to 8800rpm!!! LOL!!!

I would also like to take the opportunity to wish all forum members a very Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!!!
