Nah lol need to open my chassis rail to remove/redo the captive anchor nut that came free .. carefully so can be welded back up later after folding back up, hence the PRECISE CUT so I can bolt up my rear diff front carrier!

My rotary tool is a little weak ..

Missed the point, dude, need to be able to hold the nut while removing / refitting the diff mount bolt, not a problem of having loose rattling nuts!

Hence cut open chasis rail, big ring spanner on ex-captive nut, 90 cm breaker bar with 17mm wall drive socket and remove it, fit suspension mods, refit bolt and nut nice and tight, then go get chassis welded up.

We should probably organise the cars into like for like groups to avoid jiggling the rollers too much for wheelbase changes:

Non-Imprezas

6) Palatine (Hearse King)

Old Sheds

2) Vulnax - ( is that a challenge ! ) (nneds more power )
3) Julian in the super red shed
5) stevie ~ the boost king blu scoo ste ! (with Julia's Gaffa tape on his pipe
7) *Sonic* (will my clutch make it, only done 60k miles, since I started saying that )

Glorious New-Age

1) NotoriousREV (wonder if he will turn up to this like Walton Arms )
4) Abdabz - black burbling bugeye (another one that may not make it )

Unknown
8) MarksWRX
9) Matt Davies
10)Paul Castley

If you're an unknown can you stick yourself in the appropriate group?

Just thought I'd let you know that I was talking to a fella in work who's into older 911s. He told me that his mate who races his in some class or other took his rebuilt 911 there. These are built to a spec which limits to a max of 231bhp, at SystemR it recorded over 260. He knew this was way over for the build he had, ended up taking it to a 911 club approved rolling-road, 229bhp.
May have been re-calibrated since?
Now if we could get one of the remappers to use it for Tek3??

But it is the day to day variance ( why we try to do a load in one short period of time ) - of many forms, such as the weather - cold or hot day, dry or damp/wet, how are the tyres, are the rollers grippy, what load is on the rollers, what gear is the power run done in, one-off run or average of several, the individual doing the power run, etc. etc. these can easily make 20 - 30 bhp difference on same car, same rollers .. even more for diferent rollers/operators!

Sounds like it'd be quicker to put some numbers on some bits of paper and pull them out of a hat for the power rating 8D
