hello Mr Lane jr
Hi Roxteddy…
JR ??? Me…
[/quote]Hey Mike, wouldn’t it be good to do a before and after run? with and without the spertrapp disks. [/quote]
Beat me to it Uldis - I think a number of people would be interested in knowing the result.
Hey Mike, wouldn’t it be good to do a before and after run? with and without the spertrapp disks.
Just what I was thinking !!!

That’s it I think. We could have a reserve list but can’t guarantee you’ll get on. I’ll post some directions nearer the time.
Gosh I’m getting nervous
What you hoping for? More power than expected = the car’s dragging you round the track; less power than expected = you’re a driving god to wring such fast times out of the wheezing heap.
Gosh I’m getting nervous
Just play around with tyre pressures - you can “adjust” the bhp that way
I’m sure that Uldis will know the optimum tyre pressure so that a 177 reads 177, & a 190 one reads 190
Only kidding, Uldis (PS Hope your family back home are okay after this weekend’s weather etc}
Actually, I use road pressures.
I know that higher pressures would give less rolling losses, therefore more power, but that’s hardly the point.
And no problem with the hurricane Pesky, my family lives waay up in the mountains to be affected by a little wind (Mexico City).
Now, earthquakes are another thing…
Uldis
Firstly, glad to hear that all’s okay
I was just being a bit “naughty” about rolling road figures To my mind, & I’m sure you’ll agree, they don’t mean a great deal, unless you’re mapping the engine, or testing “before” & “after” figures for a modification.Tyre pressures, ambient temp, humidity, weight over the driven wheels all affect the figures.
By the way, my car produces 200bhp on Mondays & Thursdays, & 215bhp on the other days of the week…
This saturday - 9ish onwards.

Closest exit to Aldon is either M5 Jcn 2 or 3, depending on which direction you’re coming from as it’s kind of in the middle of both junctions.
Bacon sarnie man has been booked.
See you then.
Sorry guys - double booking…
Firefest 2 at Rock City - loads of bands and wife would kill me, so I’m not going to be able to come…
Chris will post all the graphs on MLOC soon, Brendan. But if you’re interested, here’s what your old beasty did.
180bhp at 7200 revs
140ft torque
Mine did the expected 176 BHP and 140 ft/LBS - OK for a 35K VHPD I think A 111R produced 179 but less torque approx 130 ish I think and a S2 Exige 184 again with less torque
Just shows if you consider a genuine 200+ BHP that it will be very noticable from a std VHPD …
Edit
Yes, I know the peak numbers are just that … however having seen the Toyota graphs you realise the need to keep above 6K …
Yes, ok on track … but ,
Where’s me ladder
Certainly would!!!
Off to get my cam timing checked on Monday hopefully, thanks for the advice today Andy. Convinced myself there’s a problem there with the recent work that’s been done in that area.
Cheers Steve. I guess that’s not a bad result for a VHPD.
Andy, you’re not wrong about needing to keep above 6000rpm but it does feel good if you can keep it there
Bring on the supercharger kits
I was there on Saturday aswell, 132bhp with 144 ftlbs torque
not bad for a standard elise with induction kit and exhaust
