TomB:
Caz, nice to meet you, what did Mark say was up with it?
Earlier in the post, there have been suggestions the rolling road was over reading by 10-15%, taking that into consideration, your car should be around 135-142bhp...that makes mine a very poorly car at 150-160bhp! :surprised:
Whatever the results, I'm glad I went. Not only did it confirm my car wasn't well, but I also met some cool people! I look forward to the next meet! :happy2:

What I found most interesting was the method of driving on the rolling road. Perhaps this is because it was a Maha roller and not a DD ?? But, the operator at Superchips (what was his name?) brought the car to a halt, and then slipped the clutch to get the car into what I assume was 4th or 5th gear? And continued accelerating from there. At JKM they don't let the car get to a halt, and start the run from a rolling point. I must admit, i wasn't too happy with them slipping the clutch in such a high gear..., but then again I'm probably just concerned about nothing.

seriously ?? wouldnt let them do that on mine tbh. I guess if theres no load on the rollers its not a huge issue. but why not just go through the gears to get to 4th? theyll have to do that on DSG cars anyway didnt they? (as it doesnt let you skip gears)
