Uc (You See) and me will be going to the Torque Performance Dyno day next Saturday morning. They are located at:

6 Fremlin Place
Avondale
Auckland

The day starts at 9am, I'm hoping to get there a little bit before then. /Steeringw

Anyone wanting to have a minimeet is welcome, even if you aren't going to run your car. I'm very keen to see how this car (Uc's) will perform.

Freddy and his Mine's is welcome, hint hint

well, why don't we make the september one a club meet? It sounds like there are a few interested, and by that stage I should have my exhausts and headers on, and I'll be seeing what improvements I can get

dickytim
06-08-2005, 07:17 AM
sorry couldn't make it the car is still in pieces, hit a couple of snags, when torquing up on of the flywheel bolts it stripped out the thread, we have now removed the sump and have to drill out the old thread and put a helicoil in, damn this is getting expensive, on the other side we bled out the clutch and it feels much better, I had the master and slave cylinder re sleeved.

Sept sounds good to me.

Sorry dude, I didn't get to go...car wasn't ready in time. Was attempting to increase the boost with the LinkPlus, but that started causing issues. It's running too rich at low end, tho perfect on the high. Let's just say it cost me half a tank to do 75ks. /grr Along with that, managed to get spiking and was boosting up to 20psi....fun but way too risky!
Will get getting it tuned by the guy who used to tune the late Possum Bourne's rally car.
Hopefully will be ready for next months dyno day. :inquisiti

i will be there this weekend to watch.

bradc

of course you can come to watch! the more vr-4's the better. You still should consider putting your car on though, you've got a big intercooler and exhaust and that should increase your power quite a bit.

ABIM, look forward to seeing you there. You're suspension went for an ok price in the end, congrats.


The more that are there the merrier, and maybe a better chance for clubvr4 to get discounts or even our own club dyno days.

the reason I went to my first dyno was simply to establish a benchmark for my car to start from, so I know how much I had at the start, and how much each mod actually does to the car.

You See
31-08-2005, 11:04 AM
I may not be able to put my car on the dyno this time either guys, car's just not running 100%. May still turn up for a lookie.

bradc
31-08-2005, 11:31 AM
I got there at about 8:45 last time and was 10th in the queue, my car was dynoed at about 10:30. I would say if you want to dyno you should get there at about 8:20, if you aren't going to dyno then I would get there at about 9am.

well now that theres more motivation to go thanks to bluey, i should be there, all be it late. anyone got directions from great north road? i cant find that road in my bloody map book

bradc
02-09-2005, 08:07 AM
I stayed on the motorway and turned off at the rosebank road offramp, it's the easiest way. Just drive down rosebank road as if you're going down to great north road, and just look for Fremlin road on the right. There is a bridgestone tyre shop on the other side of the road.

See you all at about 8:20 if you're running your car, if not there isn't much point to be there before 9am.

They don't like the wine - however the SOJU (Korean whiskey) goes down a treat. I accidently sculled a small bottle while in Korea thinking it was a fizzy drink!!!! The woman at the restaurant was speaking really fast Korean and I couldn't understand!
