For some reason I thought it was on Saturday (never checked the calender).

With my two kids I should have no problems getting out of bed.

Sounds silly I know, but if they don't set the kit (and top kit it is..) up correctly (gear/gearing/wheelbase/cooling/ +/- tacho & speedo tolerances etc) for scoobs then at best we'll be wasting our time and worst have a very sick scoob..!

Just worth knowing IMHO..
Ive just rang them mate, they are definatly familiar with subarus and many other cars,and the equipment definatly looks good .

heres what they say about the dyno....


The Company has carried out a significant and major investment in acquiring a Dyno Dynamics full multi vehicle four wheel drive adjustable rolling road test facility incorporating the latest in dyno tuning from the worlds most well respected manufacturer of this type of specialist equipment.
Weston Performance are installing a 3600 brake horse power 4500 ftlb torque dyno dynamics four wheel drive rolling road facility with twin retarders and adjustable bed housed in a purpose built specially designed and engineered dyno cell within our own main facility in Solihull. JK4 M42
The cell has been designed using state of the art airflow and acoustics technology. Aerodynamics and Thermodynamics have also been applied to produce a cell capable of maintaining a consistent and controllable temperature throughout the testing process.
This testing facility will enable power and torque testing steady state engine mapping and specialist high performance tuning along with a host of other services from fault diagnosis to Aerodynamics within this controlled environment.
The cell has been designed to flow a sheet of air across the car at an adjustable rate of between 20,000- 60,000cfm with a velocity of 4ms this coupled with adjustable plenum technology will allow air to be flowed at varying rates and angles across the vehicle to simulate differing road conditions. Whilst the vehicle is being tested we have an additional 30,000 cfm radiator and intercooler fans, these are used to further simulate real road conditions and keep the vehicle at safe operating temperatures at all times during testing.
Sound reduction technology has been incorporated in the design in the form of intake attenuators which not only direct the air flow across the vehicle but reduce the noise from 115db to just 55db.
This fabulous new facility is one of a small number of such test facilities in Europe and the only one of its kind with adjustable plenum chamber extraction technology for maximum temperature control within the cell.
In addition to this the full dyno testing facility can be viewed from the lounge and showroom immediately adjacent.

FFS sorry guys, I'd completely forgot about this today..!

I wouldn't have been able to come anyway as I'm in fooking agony with b@stard gallstones..!

Hope I haven't screwed the numbers/price up..

Let me know how you got on. I might pop around in a few weeks, when I'm able to walk upright again..!

Once again sorry for not letting you know before..

Jason

Just back, Thanks to James for organising the RR.
Missed the earlier runs but managed to see the ones I was interested in.

Nice clean set up & waiting area with multi screens for those watching. I did not really understand half the screen data along with the graphs in regard to torque etc but still good to be able to see whats going on.
Hopefully the guys will post their results along with mods.

Nice to meets a few new faces as well.
