Yeah, on my way to collect it now. Tell me about it, pretty damp too. Hopefully won't be too slippery on my new boots.

I'll put the half hood on I think, it's very refined with that on.

Lunch location - Costco Farnborough!

Good seeing you all today. Didn't get to have lunch! Both boys fell asleep in the car before we'd cleared the industrial estate.

Right, well, the results are in, and I think the main thing to remember is that it's not a competition.

So mine will have to wait until after all the losers have posted

And it was followed by a smashing lunch & group photo at Costco.

Shame we missed lunch and the photo (although I doubt the Galaxy would have added much).

Good pic. Shows how narrow the 997 is.

.

Previous chart showed 310bhp and 360lb ft so 8 guess this can vary a little. Happy with this.

And great to see everyone today. Looking forward to catching up again at Bedford.

Good numbers Jon!

Did you manage to convince GG to come to Bedford?

I think we’re 90% there

95%

As for the porker, well it was off by only 2.8hp*

*by which I mean off my estimate of 350hp. And 2.8 under too. Can’t say I’m not disappointed with 347.2hp even if I guessed it wasn’t putting out quoted figures

The bloke at SRR said it was fuelling fine but had a bit of a misfire at low revs so I guess it may be the coil packs as I mention (unless anyone else has any other ideas). Somehow I don’t think swapping those out is going to make a 32.8hp difference however...

Was a pleasure to meet you guys today and put some faces (and real names) to usernames. Both Jon and Steve’s cars put in some very impressive runs!

I’ll post the graphs and a few pics later tonight.

Factory spec on mine says 380hp and I was expecting it to be well under. In the end it managed this:



I am pretty chuffed

Although it was only after I got home that I realised the second line is AFR, not torque. D'oh. I'll have to try and get another printout with the torque on it.

Didn’t you get two different printouts?

It revs to 7.5k? Good stuff!

Yes, 6k limit here
Still, am I right that the Renault is slightly up on the Aston from 3k through to 5k rpm?

I think I left it there

Anyways, agreed it was good to meet up. Must arrange another event some time.

So it seems ! The rev counter doesn’t actually have a red line marked on it. It’s plain all the way to 8k:



(not my pic)

(but my speedo is the same and goes up to 220mph)

The redline looks to be 7,250 from that picture. Shame on you for not finding it out much earlier!
