kw's is nothing unless you can put it on the road and go round corners
my gr has 98kw at the wheels
i have been playing with my computer and it feels much more happy at full acc at 6000 - 8500 rpm
the wakefield day the act people can get there quicker then the sydney people so come along and meet the rest of us even is you dont hop on the track

interesting... where did you get that reading from? your car should definitely be comparable to mine in a straight line then... since i got 98kw in the last dyno test
gav's car still rules in a straight line though... what's your fuel consumption like anyway gav??

yeah around 90, notsure about if its a tip though, but a few mods and ucan get up around 100. but different dynos tell different stories unfortunitly. does anyone know what a new preulge would pull at the wheels, my mate rekons he got 118kw

My fuel consumption is pretty good i cant remmeber my last km/tank but it was up there. Especiall considering i like to sit in the redline

Talking bout redline, rob does your car boune off 6rpm when its cold. I have heard gr's and gpxs have a low rpm restricter when its cold, and minewill rev all it whats when its cold, first start rev up to 6krpm+ and let off the accelerator and it sounds like a bov

I don't think the GR's have the 6000 rpm limiter ( I think its a mivec thing)...I'm not sure, I don't drive hard when it is cold. In the mornings I like to keep under 2500rpm when it is cold (unltra granny style).

preulge?? do you mean prelude? if so, then that's a load of crock unless its heavily modified...
is your fuel consumption around 10L/100km? or more like 12-13L/100km?

yeah prelude, its a stocker, non v-tech
fuel conssumption im not sure abou i justm easure how many k's i go ona fulltank, i think it was in the 500s, but im not exactly sure. I will measure soon though. I really want to find what is in my car giving it this power, so others in the group can perform the same modification. Also my car is getting old and if i were to trade up for a newer model, it would be great to do the same mod to it first.
I have hada couple mechanics stumped, but we will see what the uas boys have to say at the ftoaust dyno day

We will most likely have a few meeting points for those that don't live in the area or know their way there, so don't worry about that

i don't mine picking your brake bits up for you if you like
travel time is normally about 55m
the quickest ive done was under 40 minutes, the longest was 2 1/2 hours
it was one of those wet morning when everyone drives like they are 90 and 4 crashes to get around
as dyno day if off did you want to still meet up and go for a run down south or something
