been on hols last week (did ya miss me? whaddya mean no  ), so have been playing catch up. first on the pics list is the dyno shootout at LPS a week ago. I tentativley put the capper on the rollers after driving up to holiday on 5 cylinders. then, after a change of plugs drove it 107 miles back for this, thankfully she was behaving so I though some analysis with a lambda probe wouldn't hurt. it was well rich all over the place, but I may have found the cause since, the air fuel ratio dropped to 7:1 at some points. still made 140.7 bhp at 5000rpm and 170ft/lbs at 2300rpm, more to come when its fixed ;D. still haven't got everyones figures from lps, so I'll try to remember the figures for the cars I post up. a word about the judging (by me and spacekadett) we chose the best built cars that attracted our attention, not the most immaculate. and the order of 1st, 2nd, 3rd was down to who left first. anyway, heres the pics  monza had issues, but got the 3rd place trophy, BC looked like he was gonna bust with amazement when we handed over the trophy  mixing it up  more variety  thats OSC's corty in the middle  cappers more coming..... |

 420 plus bhp!!!  porn   mankee cheng's 106 made 133bhp  the trophies, hand made by bruisercapri. no-ones complained so far.....  the booby prize, awarded to slater for the most comical scene of the dyno operator (built like pheonixc, not one to argue with) getting in and out of the mini. cool trophy, nes pas?  trident in the workshop, at least I was alright for a spare essex engine in case mine blew, pmsl!  ians '57 had to cut its run short because of gremlins, he was loudest of the day |

 I built the motor for this (my bosses) e30 327i. made only 10bhp up on stock but 30ft/lbs over standard. reeezzzzult!!!  for those that winge about 1098 engines, heres one doing 6500rpm. its an a-series, it will hold.  doesn't look like it bites does it? my bosses 327i again  built by dislexic fish. made 215bhp but he virtually lives at lps. the other perana made 265bhp at 7000rpm and climbing operator says it could go another 1500rpm for 300bhp! yeah |

 black 'n' tan. the duece made 245bhp and the 'rocco made 70 odd, not bad for a near stocker  spacekadett was 8bhp up on last time with a new air filter and s/s exhaust. 114bhp from an a near standard 8v 2.0 vaux lump.  this turbo min belonged to the photographer, apparently 215bhp, but we decided not to let him spill his drop gears on this particular day  marinanuts sounded nice, proved to be very torquey  nitrous played up on this rovered capri, made 180bhp without it. runs consistent 13.4s at drags  bruisercapri's 3.0 made 414bhp and 700ft/lbs on its first run ;D someone screwed the readings up   what the cell looks like empty |

I couldn't concentrate in the cell thanks for linking the vids that you have Yep - I filled a 1 gig card with pictures and videos - I think I got almost all the cars that ran on the rollers at least once..... Only trouble is they are big files and conversion to a sensible size takes time.... I'll do yours next |
