johnnyfication 0 Posted November 27, 2011 Thnks Jim for arranging it all and to Wendy for the bbq. Was an enjoyable day and great to meet new people. Hopefully next time ill know i can make it with more notice so I can run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Many thanks to Jim for organising today. Really enjoyed myself :D Also, apologies to Wendy for finding an excuse and getting out of helping with the BBQ! I'm v pleased with the figures, even though they weren't what I was hoping for. Ended up with 186.7bhp which is a couple lower than 3yrs ago, and 195.1lb ft which is 13 better! Graph is very smooth too :) Also great to catch up with people, although I can see plenty of names saying thanks which I recognise but didn't end up saying hello to (at least, I don't think I did!)... next time :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 27, 2011 by scarlet_vr6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted November 27, 2011 @Fay, I'm sure you'll notice the +13 torques more than the -2 horses! :D Well done Jim for arranging it all. Next year I'll try to come to some stuff. I'm like the olympics - every four years! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chazrad 0 Posted November 27, 2011 A great day out with all you good people and some lovely weather to boot... though the car got dirty on the way up from Wiltshire this morning in light drizzle. So good to see so many Corrados in one place. Just like the old days. at meets and shows, you just don't get 25 or so cars together anymore. So well done to all those that made it, and commiserations to some others who tried (Ollievr6 broken down at Chieveley Services first thing!). Caught up with some familiar faces who I had not seen in a while. Jim, well done for organising the day. It was well run and the Stealth team are very efficient at moving things along. Shame not everyone could get a reading off the rollers (tracking issues, subframe rubbing etc.), and shame Sam's R32 couldn't run as I wanted to hear and see it fly. Thanks to Wendy for sterling work on the BBQ. The burgers and the mince pies were brill. Pretty happy with my results to be honest. Made slightly more torque than I was expecting and slightly less power, but happy all the same. It hadn't been dynoed with the OBD2 setup before so wasn't sure what it would make anyway. Just pleased we could all have a good day out on what could be one of the last bright clear days of the year before the temperatures drop and the Corrado takes up residence again in the garage.

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted November 27, 2011 @Fay, I'm sure you'll notice the +13 torques more than the -2 horses! :D Indeed! I didn't phrase that well... I meant that the bhp wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Torque, I'm very pleased with! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OllieVR6 0 Posted November 27, 2011 Sorry I didn't get to meet many of you, by the time I got there most people were gone or leaving. Well done and thank you Jim for organising a top day out and I look forward to the next one. It was good to finally meet you. Thank you again Fay for saving me today and sorry for delaying the three of you! (I really didn't want to be the unreliable one but that stubborn car is getting a hair cut tomorrow!). Hopefully meet a few more of you next time :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whole bunch of pictures from my buddy Steve here: He's working out what to do with over 1GB of video... will see about getting them onto YouTube or something perhaps? Good photos, Jim. Please thank Steve for me. He did a sterling job there today. There are a number of really good ones there. I love the one of the workbench in B&W. Re the vids, however Steve wants to load them up.

Tempest 0 Posted November 28, 2011 Big thanks to Jim and Wendy for doing the honours yesterday, and to Vince and team for sticking to the tight schedule. Sorry I arrived late, but suffering from the most dreadful cold that I seem to have had for years. Hammer definitely came down last night, all Lemsipp'ed up at work now, not ideal.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 28, 2011 Disappointing day for me as my VR didn't hit the sorts of power figures I was expecting - in fact it was quite a long way off with only 190BHP and 188lb/ft of torque... not good :( Think once the finances have recovered from christmas, it'll be in to DG Autotech or Stealth for a bit of a diagnostic session unfortunately! Well, you've got to have at least one car that makes factory power to prove the dyno isn't bull schitting ;) Vince obviously chose yours :lol: Considering it's got SP263s in it, I told Neil when he owned it that I was surprised how sluggish it was. If it isn't c0cked up cam timing. It could just be old age and wear & tear. Get a compression test on it, check the plugs etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really gonna have to make the effort next year and finally find out what my engine is putting out. :-) Where do people get the braided fuel hoses from on the VR?
