That would be great Harsh, thanks...maybe lets just wait a while to see if there is any interest
Hi guys
I ran one of these for the Porsche 944 Boys last september ish time.
It was on a Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road which seem to be deemed the most accurate.
Unfortunately it is up north so I am not sure how many people would be interested in a hike to the Leisure Peninsular aka The Wirral!!!
Some great pubs and shopping!!!!
Anyway it worked out around £40 a car as long as there was 10 plus vehicles.
Just thought the info is good for comparisons, although i would be happy to organise one at this venue.
Here are their details anyway:

Maybe 2 is the way to go Matt...
I was thinking of a southern one, Essex, Kent, Surrey...
Just wanted to see if there was any interest before looking around at potential venues,
Regards,
Enzo.

They have a Dyno Dynamics rolling road here in Aylesbury which is a bit more central. I have attended an event here with one of my cars and they were a friendly enough bunch.

That is pretty much the long and the short of it. I have done it twice before once with my Impreza WR1 because Mike Wood from Prodrive was present and was willing to plug his laptop into each WR1 and double check the maps and the second time with my current (now for sale) Impreza after some engine/turbo/mapping work had been completed to see what sort of improvements had been achieved.
I can't say it is the most exciting thing in the world to do in my opinion unless you have a specific reason for putting your car on the rollers such as above. It is also with bearing in mind the stress it puts on the car......

ummm, been thinking about this...
I don't have a specific reason for wanting to go on the dyno,
would have been nice to know how many horses had escaped, but not really important to me...
as there is no tuning involved and bearing in mind the stress it puts on the car,
I will have another think before deciding whether to pursue this,
Regards,
Enzo.
Surrey Rolling road has just been featured on PH...

I put my GT on a rolling road a little while back.
Rolling roads don't like auto's and so the print out looked more like a heart beat monitor than a power curve and it only made 390bhp at 5000rpm as the ECU wouldn't allow it to go over 120mph whilst the front wheels were still.
The ABS, Stability Control, suspension warning and the "take to dealer" lights all came on and stayed on after turining the ignition off and on again... I managed to fix it all with a full throttle launch, lighting up the rears and then slamming on the brakes, where upon all lights went out! Personally the highlight for me was standing next to my car doing 120mph and the sound of the V8 going through the gears was great, other than that a bit dull tbh.
