I’ve booked two places on 29th Sept

Jon, is that ok? 11:30 & 11:45. These are the earliest slots.

Let me know and I’ll confirm with Charlie.

29/9 is good too. That time is fine. Cheers.

Ok cheers Jon.

Chaps just to confirm it’s Sat 29th Sept for pizza and hot dogs

Anyone else interested please book with Charlie at SRR.

Don't think I'll be able to make 29th.

I can pop down on the 29th, but I don't think I'll be able to do Costco as well, I need to be home about 1pm.

Long term forecast looking good. Anyone else coming?

Jon, what’s changed since the last time? Just the cat? What numbers are you hoping for?

I’d be really disappointed if mine doesn’t archive 375bhp.

Just the cat back on, yeah. Same map. Hoping it's still > 300 bhp / 350 lb ft
But if it's < 300bhp then that's officially less than a 20% increase on standard, which means Direct Line would insure me (I'm with them for our Yeti and house), unlike currently.

Not long now.

Mine has 3/4 tank of Esso in it

95RON?

97

Oh absolutely on Costco!

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the excitement of buying food from a warehouse

Do you find buying food from a supermarket exciting?

Good job we didn't ask for your opinion then I guess...

No

But people do seem to get extra excited about Costco

Is it the thrill of saving a couple of quid, if you buy 100 packets of crisps, rather than the regular multipack with 6? Then, I guess, further thrill when you get home and have to work out where to keep it all?

Yeah, because we were all meeting at Costco to buy food in bulk together.

I’m in New York and don’t land back until Sunday morning.

However, I’ll be picking my son up from RAF Odiham if you’re still out playing at around 3-4pm?

What time are you both getting down there ?

Duncs - are you coming today ?

I should be there around 11:15-11:20

No, can't do today.

I've mentioned elsewhere before, when I was researching 996 GT3 Mk1 vs Mk2, various reports suggested that most Mk1s would not achieve the manufacture claimed figure of 355bhp, whereas Mk2s would routinely overachieve (375 bhp & 284 lb/ft)

Charlie at SRR, said that he's had many 996 GT3s on his roller; in fact, 911uk held a GT3 dyno day at SRR in 2015, and on the day they had one Mk1 (357bhp) and four Mk2s (390-399bhp).

So, armed with 2/3 Esso and 1/3 VPower, my car went on the roller......





403.3 bhp & 314 lb/ft

Torque curve a bit funky but Charlie said everything looked good.

Anyway, nice to catch up with Jon (+2) and good seeing SJ's beautiful Vantage, which is VERY loud with fuse 22 removed
