- midlands ideally since its central (obviously) to everyone and more people can make it.: IMOC John Noble Motorsports Dyno Day He is based at pavillion road and his garage is literally right near the entrance of Notts Forest FC just on the south side of Trent Bridge. He used to tune her SC and is an ex racer, well up on turbos. We're gonna be making an appointment to have ours checked over early in the new year, and get a power run to set a baseline for future mods. Shaf might not recommend Nobles after his latest run.- failing that Thor would be my next choice. Wasnt too happy with my last power run at Milways so would be interesting to see any difference now before any future mods.

I'd prefer Nobles, it's the only roller dyno I've been happy with
I plan to get ours on for a diagnostic and power run as soon as possible to make sure the car is ok before throwing some mods at it, so I'll let you know how we do. - they will book out their dynapack to us for the day but its our responsibility to make the best use of it. Even with the best will in the world it will work out at about £50-60 per car due to the time it takes to put them on the dynapack. Nobles can do 600bhp 2wd and 1200 4wd. From memory its about £30 for 2wd and £60 4wd for 3 power runs and a printout of the best.- anyone got contact details?..jonno wrote:I have spoken to Thor already
Due to some of the cars that will attend it needs to be a dyno that can do 2wd 400fwhp minimum, there arnt that many around!
I will call Geoff Bloor when i get back to work and have a chat to him about his dyno

Geoff Bloor in Nottingham, on 0115-982-1803Couple of posts up the thread, chap.
I feel sure that there ought to be one in Birmingham somewhere but I have never heard of one?..jonno wrote:I have spoken to Thor already
(Rogue Systems) will subsidise to bring the costs down. If there's sufficient support from the big horse power guys, we could perhaps get the event featured in a magazine? 
You can put me down for that if it comes together He seemed to think that it wouldnt be financially viable due to the limited number of cars they would be able to run on a dynapack. I know how busy you are 
- Whatever we do I feel its important to get something moving in the first few months of this year, end of March would be an good date since as last year proved anyone who hasnt got their engine ready by then is going to be struggling for TOTB anyway!..."dyno day" type code that hooked into the phpBB backend DB. The power figures could show up in each users profile and they could upload dyno plots and also maybe enter the real numbers from their plot into a form to allow them to compare against other users on the same plot?.....

You're right that it is currently too expensive to run it at our premises, although we might give that a go one Sunday in the summer when can run it in the car park outside. (We should also be able to transport the dynapacks ourselves in the battlebus by then). Who knows!..(If his car is ready!)(maybe if 4wd)(only if patrick does it)- hardly the raging success I was hoping for!. We will definitely need ~14 places filled to bother with this event, especially if we use somewhere professional like Nobles. I will call Geoff Bloor on Tuesday when I get back to work and Nobles and get some provisional dates and prices. Then I will make a decision next Sunday and decide if its worth running the event with those that have expressed an interest by then. The topic has been viewed over 100 times so its not like nobody has seen it!. Hopefully more will sign up once I set a date and some definite prices? With Andy and Dan running there will be some serious competition this time! maybe sombody will touch 500bhp?..
