was talking to Jurgen about this thread when I was over XO/JM on Saturday and found some info from the church automotive testing site who run 2 sets of dynapack: here is a extract : As power increases for a given combo, the difference will grow due to the change in acceleration rate on the Dynojet (assuming the same gear is used for all tests). As the acceleration rate goes up, the total torque required to accelerate the wheels and tires will go up (remember, the torque calculation is MoI * acceleration - twice the acceleration rate requires twice the torque). But on the Dynapack the acceleration rate is kept the same (or at least should be), so losses remain largely the same. Furthermore, both dynos are subject to inertial losses accelerating the flywheel, transmission, etc. and the faster acceleration rate as hp climbs will show increasing losses on the fixed load Dynojet. This is why we recommend people use a rough percentage adjustment to estimate flywheel hp on the Dynojet versus a rough fixed adjustment on the Dynapack. In our experience, a manual transmission FWD car will lose 20-25 hp to the hubs on the Dynapack. A RWD car will lose 25-30 hp and an AWD car about 35-40 hp (the FWD case has been verified on an engine dyno). In contrast, losses on the Dynojet will be in the 12-14% range for FWD and 14-16% for RWD (opinions vary). http://home.earthlink.net/~spchurch/index.html

ah its only for jap cars

any space left?

Had the 10th of oct booked for a few weeks now in the banana

try http://www.speedflow.co.uk for fittings etc

sold getting collected tomorrow

still got this

people normally look for yellow cars I look for people hitting each because of my yellow car always makes me grin.

....... completely different league compared to the supra, can honestly say I will never go back to another supe after having it. Only thing I didnt like was the length of the shift hence the 997 SSK, but i was used to the B&M quick shift on the supra. Handling is awesome feels nice and planted, but may go back to standard turbo wheels see if it gets a little better. Power is more useable and the delivery is nice and smooth, but the supra was quicker in the higher gears tho. Comfort cant complain to be honest the ride is quite stiff but not a spine breaker the way I like cars don't like to feel like I'm driving a cloud (get that enough in the L200), nice driving position seats are comfy but still feel your sitting in them and not in them but I think for someone a little more erm how to say nicely ....... big boned they may be a bit narrow for.

cheers ears, got my eye on some other bits too inc a tequipment st/st cage and some coilovers

smart arse lol

997 SSK ready to be installed tonight

Yup your fluffy dice will be in the clio by the end of the weekend. Nice thing about my missus she aint old enought to get insured on the porka so I'm safe lol

thats what I was thinking

lol the same user name on here and ebay did kind of give it

no problem, still got a load of other parts to get rid of too plus I need to keep them happy as I'm looking for a bike and want to fit it in their garage as the porker is in mine.
