I have for some time wanted to arrange this, and as there is a lot of interest with Shaun arranging another PS day, I would like to finally arrange a rolling road meet at PTS in Luton. It is intended to complement the PS meet and serve people that perhaps don't want to travel quite so far.
It is not intended as a 'shoot-out', there will be no magazine present. It will just offer a chance to get some figures for your car for future upgrade comparisons.
Of the four rollers I have run on, there's seems to be the most accurate, giving my car 236bhp & 230lb/ft.
Perhaps some of you that have attended/going to attend PS would like a comparitive figure?
The other advantage is that PTS offer no tuning products specifially for the Scoob, so are least likely to be biased towards cars equipped with certain products, not that anyone currently is of course!
I will set the day nearer the time, but October is a likely month. The cost will be approx £15-£20 per car.
Cheers.
Stef.

Stef,
You can count me in. Any excuse to cane it!
My MY95 wrx has run twice at Power Engineering giving 260bhp/234Ibs ft in Feb. & 264bhp/228Ibs ft last week. It is a 260ps model and has an exhaust/induction kit, but I'm now led to believe PE's figures are for pub use only!
Should be interesting!
Cheers
Leigh

Stef put me down for this.
Had a run at PTS about 3 months ago before Uni and without downpipe and got 235bhp and 255lbft torque which for a MY00 I consider very good.
October and Saturday fine by me.

(p.s. out of country for a few weeks (wife has the car!!!! )

Most std UK 99s on PEs rollers have put out circa 240/bhp and 220-225lb/ft torque. Thus 255 seems very optimistic (in relative terms) for a std UK car of that genre.
Dont mean to annoy anyone but everyone says PE is high etc etc, when in fact, so many variables affect the equation. Whos to say higher is more incorrect than lower and that PStn or PTS are more accurate, have any of you had your engines out of the car on an engine dyno to measure it on the same day/same conditions for a comparison?

Stef, I've mailed you and hope to get along and do some back to back fuel octane trials with my MY00 plus PPP.
Just a thought, if your tracking is out, with a bit of toe-in from ProDrive set up, won't that affect the dyno reading? I guess it must, though only a tiny perecentage.
