Kerstin.......... when they strap a car onto the rollers using the canvas straps that crank up tight the have two at the front of the car & two at the back.

They cross the straps at the rear and at the front however when they crossed the front straps they were rubbing tight on braided hoses I have coming out the sump ( at the bottom of the engine), so they decided not to cross the front straps. Instead the front straps came out straight.

When the driver put my car in 1st gear the car pulled to the right VERY nearly sliding off the front roller.

If it would have happened at 8000 rpm in 4th gear it would have been a nightmare. The guys were on the case and done a good job as they took their time and rerouted the straps.

OMG, it's just relieving to know everything went well!! That would have been a right nightmare.

helen is a tough cookie mate you know not to upset her !!

fpmsl i didn't even notice the dip :wink:

Many thanks to all the guys involved in sorting out what was a FANTASTIC day !

Bloody hell Clive, never knew you had that happen! :zoiks:

Just glad all went ok after that :five:

There exhaust extraction seems a bit of waste of time lol

i have a few good videos of your car on the rollers and managed to catch it nearly slip off it, i will post them up if you want to view it :ok: it was the 1st time i have seen your car and i must say i was very impressed!

Afternoon guys,

Really great to see you all at the open day. Glad everyone had such a good time. It was nice to meet you all - plenty of new faces and some awesome cars :grin:

Keep in touch if you want anything and we'll do whatever we can. And as Scott mentioned, hopefully we can get something going with a rolling road day in the future.

We've put a bit up on our website about the day. Link is here: http://www.sumopower.com/News/50/Hug...-at-Sumo-Power

Jeez .......... that first clip bought back some memories !!

Yep, that first clip is officially a ****ty pants moment! :mfart: :mfart:

Peak power:
@ JRM = 365.5 @ 6350
@ SRR = 349.9 @ 6300

Not really that different, especially allowing for graph reading errors.

Think you have a header leak then nick !

Shoukd be obvious if a leak.

Could be just the way the dyno loads the car.

You scanned the graphs yet?

Maybe the dumping of coolant at SRR put a latent defect in them, becoming worse in the time between RR's

stadnard headers.. I think they get used to water soaking when you drive through puddles ;)

plus the leak wasnt that bad

oh!, thought he had tubulars of something.

You'd think so with the poweroutput.

Also never seen an issue driving through floods with wrapped after market headers other than having to wait for the steam to clear when stopping before being able to see if road is clear lol.

Pretty sure there's no header leak - certainly doesn't feel/sound like one and with power being pretty much the same and at the same point surely I'd see a difference there as well?

Plan is to go tubular and probably de-cat as well, I'd like to de-cat first just to see how much of a restriction the sports cat is but not interested enough to have to have 2 remaps!

We strapped the Surrey Scoobies GoPro to the Stormtrooper and got some convoy footage. It was obviously much longer so I've had to crop it right down when editing it. It was a bit of a nightmare to edit despite how simple iMovie is supposed to be.

Somehow I've left out the key scene of the queue of cars turning right into SUMO's forecourt. My apologies...
