MX-5 Club of NSW Dyno Day

It’s been three years since the Club had its last Dyno Day and you are bound to have done some engine mods or bought a new(er) MX-5 and now want to find out how much power the little beast is putting out.

Well now’s your chance to see if your standard or modified MX-5 is putting out more power than your mates at MX5 Mania.

These are great fun days. Mania will have a large screen outside their workshop with the dyno runs on it for all of the spectators to see, while enjoying a tasty BBQ.

Last time the magic “T” piece was tried in a few SPs vying for the glory and bragging rights of having the biggest rwkW. What will happen this year?

Huh, no bragging rights for you. We all know that NCs are more powerful than pussy little SEs

STM, gives you plenty of time then to arrange to have that day off.

If I do work I could do it at about 3.30 or 4.pm.....should I check with AJ or Simone?

STM, all enquires should go through the Club, however if we have 20 cars that will take 5 hours.
Starting at 9:00am we'd be finished by 2:00pm so there probably won't be anyone around at 4.
Tell work you need the day off and to schedule you on another Saturday.

cheers CB but not quite as simple as that......I'll try to work something out.

I'm In.

I need to know what KWs my Clubman spits out now at the rear wheel after having done 87k kms. I'm sure a few horses have escaped since new.

hopefully i have a job and the manual is in by then, should be intresting to see if there are any loss/gains with teh conversion.

I'll be there either way.

I'm in. Just sent off my email.

Ah CB....That comment alone nearly tempts me to re-join and light her up on the dyno!!!

Damn. Not gonna be in Sydney, and the car won't be around either.

I really do want another horsehead trophy for most powerful non FI NB

So my car counts as a modified NA6 right?

As much as mine belongs in the "standard nb8b" class

Don't forget the dyno day, get your entries in.

I can smell the rubber and the BBQ now , not to mention all the BS stories that will fly around.
