Yeah it will be the first time I've had a car Dyno'd too. Be good to see another N/A there to compare power with. Mines standard apart from a K&N panel filter.

I have had few bits done, i got a mongoose exhaust system, blitz air filter, unichip, lowered and brakes. I got a de-cat that isn't on the car at the moment, wanted to see what my car is making at the moment then put my decat on and do something else ith the air filter pipe then i want to get it dyn'd again to see the difference in power. My partner's friend should be coming too he got a rev 1 n/a but an import one :) should be good :thumleft:

Fair play. I'd have waved if you were in your MR2. Glad you think it is looking good, its absolutely filthy at the moment. Waiting for some mild temperatures when I'm not at work to clean it. As commented above, its posted in the events section. Its at Surrey Rolling Road. Google it. Its not that far really. Only about an hour from Swindon.

Fair play. Mine is massively overdue a good Auto Glym session. Hoping to get it done Friday. It needs to rain before hand to get the salt off the roads though. A trip from Swindon to London and back in the van yesterday resulted in the Transit looking disgraceful. Don't want all that grime on my MR2!

lol my mr2 is my everyday car so gets mucky very quickly even a 10-15 min drive to work and it gets mucky. well looks sparkly nowand luckily i got a few days off work :) but will probably have to wash again tomorrow night so I can put in the garage on thursdaynight and give it a good polishing, i have only polished the spoiler and engine lid since owning it (2 months) so needs a day spending on it, so you better comment how clean it looks on saturday :thumleft:

Mines a daily driver too pretty much. I don't need to drive to work as I live within walking distance but I'm out and about in it most days and in all weathers! I haven't had the chance to clean mine for ages now because its been sub zero or raining. I hope to give mine a clean on Friday afternoon but it is forecast to rain on Saturday, sadly and goodwood green shows up every little bit of dirt and dust. I'll give yours the thumbs up if it passes scrutiny :lol:
