Could I add my name please? Only bought my RST 2 weeks ago, but I'm thrilled with it. I don't know what it's running - the guy I got it off said !70 to 180, but I'd love to know. Certainly compared to my old sierra it feels very quick! Will the day include a set up or just a power run, as from the smell and the frightening damage it's doing to my wallet its running pretty rich!

Just so I know, its slammed on 17's with an additional splitter at the front for a cold air feed. will this be a problem to get it on the rollers?

Added. I can't see the height being a problem. I'm sure we will overcome it somehow!!

Marc, that's fine. As for the difference between your Dyno results and our RR results, I have no idea!! Will be cool to compare cars on the same day anyway!!

Of course you can come and watch. I will finalise the date over the next couple of days.

Yes, thats fine. The best way to sort the money will be by cheque. I will post details of that in the first post, once everything else is sorted.

Yes, of course, as long as you are aware of the safety aspect.

We have a PS2, although I don't think she is old enough to appreciate that yet is she??!!

Yes, would be a shame. Would be nice, although a little optimistic I think, to get it sorted in time for this RR day.

As for the money, give me a little while and I will post details. Cheque payment to me would probably be favourite.

No point rushing it for the RR day, would be much better to take the time it deserves and have a totally satisfying job done

That is SUCH a good idea. I hadn't thought of that.

Hi Christian, I would love to come howerver I have limped up to Scotland where I now live.
The damage from the other week is - Chunk out of the bore when the piston let go on the dyno, so have to rebore 2.1. (smoke on idle)
The head is cracked and squirting water in the combustion chamber (sputters on low revs)
Never managed to to lean the mixture back out so suffered 13mpg all the way back to Scotland (500 miles).
