Ahmotorsport Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, you do make a fair point! But i'm sure we'd mapped a car on a rolling road then it went to an engine dyno and it was pretty close. Can't think what it was though. Shitroen Saxo i think.

minirotty Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Mine was going on Reylands rolling road but after chatting with Jim I am putting it in his dads hands, so Harvey Gibbs will be dynoing mine. He used to dyno Guindaff's Maxi in the 90's so I trust him not to Fcuk it up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too young to Remember Gwyndaf Evans I suppose. But you should study his driving style, it's quite amazing. Ford knew very well why they kept him as a test driver for half a decade. And the old man still has it as well ! This February he started in a commemorative road rally in a Mk2 and in petrol (half way) he was leading the current Welsh champion by 30 seconds ! Before retiring short into a second half with technical difficulties... Everybody was sadden to pass him on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Mine was going on Reylands rolling road but after chatting with Jim I am putting it in his dads hands, so Harvey Gibbs will be dynoing mine. That's a good choice. I think i'm the only person to have fallen asleep in Harvey's dyno, and ironically that was whilst Hadland's gumball engine was being mapped!
