Car needs looking at - crap RR result today

[Cluck]

Gary,

Can I book some time to have my car checked over?
I went to Power Engineering today for a rolling road test (was a scooby meet, but I tagged along with a couple of friends) and the result was shocking. I only got 243bhp @ flywheel with 219 ft/lb torque, both very high up in the rev-range. Looking at other peeps cars, it appears that I should have got nearer 270bhp with 280+ ft/lb torque.

The car feels quick to drive, and has been excellent since you mapped the SAFC-II a few months ago, but something tells me that I need it looked at, because the RR result was way too low.

Here's the RR graph

hi mate

i can remember doing the car and it went as well as expected when we finished it,so it seems very strange that the figure should be so low,you sure thats flywheel and not wheels??

give me a call monday and we'll have a chat :thumbs:

ps, its always when you get a rr graph with a low figure that suddenly the cars not as quick but it had'nt changed from when you drove it done there ;)

Cheers mate, I'll give you a call Monday.

The figure on the graph was deffo @ flywheel. There was a scooby there that showed just over 500bhp :eek: I can't imagine that was at the wheels :no:

I thought about it afterwards, and I should have got them to leave the car running so that I could check the figures on the AVC-R. It might have been that he didn't give it full beans, which might explain why the car sounded so quiet - honestly, I could hardly hear it running, whereas my mate's scooby was loud as feck.
