I'd chuck the NA on the dyno, but it'll probably just make something like 70kw (ish)......As for the SE, well, I dunno.....

What're the numbers for the day like Josh? Are you looking to get a fair few cars in, or will it be only a few?

Normally I'd just swing by and decide then and there, but I'm literally busy every weekend until the 1st. I'm curious to know what the car makes though, so that'd be a good day for it.

Incidentally, how much does it normally cost to stick the car on the dyno?

Hey guys, normally its around $70 to $80 for power runs,

so far there are seven (7) cars booked in, plus my NA, we are gonna put the race car on for laughs as well on the day (out of trophy contention)

I also forgot to mention that there is a trophy for the NC class as well, so far none have booked and really there are not many mod's around for them yet so stock NC's will be most welcome.

If people are going to come and watch then decide on the day that is fine too!!!!

If you are coming to just hang out for the day please post here so i have an idea how much grub too buy?

Buy the way, we are expecting around 20 to 25 cars to participate but numbers are not limited,

Cheers Guys and Girls

Ahh nice one. Might drop on by on the day, but if I feel enthused to do it, I'll shoot you a PM and book myself in just to guarantee a spot.

Common Guys, So far i have 12 cars in and about 2 weeks out, am hoping for twenty or so cars????

I hope a few of you that are not putting your car on, are still coming for support and a kick ass BBQ (Cooked by a real life chef)


Plus just for kicks, a mania customer is bringing his girl friends Ford Festiva for a crack at the Dyno (HAHA HAHA) Cant wait for that one
(Just have to figure out a way to tie the thing on now hehe hehe)



Saturday 1st September 11am onwards

Cheers Guys and Girls

Yep, I'll be there. Put me down for a run on the rollers - It's not the gruntiest SP around, but it would be good to have a reference point on the Mania dyno. :D

Well after someone lovingly backed into the car tonite, i'm not sure how long the repairs will take....so the SE mightn't be making its dyno debut just yet

Jeez Josh what about a supercharged prize mate :P :mrgreen:

I guess I'll just have to settle for having the best sounding car then :P

Assuming my zorst / fuel pump fitting and boost activation goes well next week you can put me down for an attendance.
