so back to the megane.
i drove one a while back when lookin for a replacement for my JDM.i thought it was slow and handled like a bus,chronic understeer (just after the saleman had finnished telling me how well it handled).
prefered the ST200 bt ended up buying a 380hp classic

Something is wrong with that info...

Treehack a 380bhp classic what mods did/has that little puppy have/got.As for the Megane I played with My classic must be Quicker as back in feb On the way to a Funeral in Great Barr Birmingham had a little play with a focus rs (before I had my Boost controller fitted and had it mapped) and was pulling away from that on the m50.

Don't like the back end of the megane.But I hope the owner of the megane likes the back end of a scooby as he will be having a good look the next time I see him conditions permitting.

Do RRs actually measure transmission losses or do they simply multiply the whp by a pre-specified percentage (ie an estimate of likely transmission losses) to arrive at the bhp at the fly ?
Best motoring managed to get the GT4 to do a 13.8 standing 1/4 ...not sure of the figures for a UK Impreza but id imagine the power delivery would make it 'feel' quicker as the fours delivery is very smooth (twin entry turbo)
I swapped to an STi when a ppp'd classic gave me a right whooping! & when i got to drive a workmates P1

imho RR's are pretty useless unless you used the same one before your mods, or if you have a standard car there to use as a yard stick

no 2 rr's are going to ever show the same results thats just a fact of life but it gives a rough idea as to what to expect. they should only be used to mesure the improvements of mods ore to fault find as its really how a car acts on the road that matters. numbers are just numbers and nothing else.

lol what a quote but numbers usually relate to something. I bet yhou would prefer these numbers 3.5 rather than 10.6 when related to your 0 - 60 time. Or try this 9 inches or 2 inches which would you prefer to have 
. Numbers are just numbers but in the right situations mean a lot. I wouldn't mind someone giving me the 6 numbers for saturdays Lottery draw ...... SO numbers on a rolling road to have a lot of importance in the right circumstances ...

I had a play this evening on a bypass with a Renault Megane sport 225.We both came off a roundabout was'nt going to play as I was to busy singing along to a cd.I was in third he undertook me changed down and booted it so I thought why not forgot to change down the box put my foot down and I could'nt catch him F**K it was a quick car at the end of the bypass he informed me it was a 225 megane sport both had a laugh and went our seperate ways.Didn't realise how quick they were mine is running just over 255bhp and as I said I couldn't catch him time for more mods me thinks.Would off probably been a different story from a standing start though I think.

i questioned powerstation about there wheel figures when mine was mapped and apparently there final figure is an actual to the road figure taking into account rolling resistance, wind resistance and weight resistance. so its not an actual atw power but a "at the driving seat" power.

Cool thanks for the advice.It would also be much appreicated if you could help me on my other thread ''What would you do'' in a way it relates to this one
Mmmmm 
So the RR tells me power at the wheels then they just guess what the flywheel power is by assuming a %age! How do I find out for certain then? If my car is 300bhp at wheels then I'd like to know if AN Others Megane is much, much less
TX.

They just measure whp & 'guestimate' the fly figure ...obviously the higher the transmission loss they dial in, the more 'optimistic' the fly result ...this tends to happen just after you've had some mods fitted by them
